    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSenator Symington\n3:30 p. m.\n10/7/69\nK said he has been working on the problem which was discussed when\nS was in to see K last week on Laos. K is trying to work out something\nthat can be responsive to Symington and helpful to the country.\nSym ington said he sent a letter to the Evening Star today and suggested\nthat K read it.\nK sa id he has been trying to determine what Symington's understanding\nwas of K's understanding. After the department heads have testified\nbefore Symington, they would have the right to determine whether the\ntranscript was classified. Sy said only the intelligence. He was\nworking on this now. The first thing he waxkck did was classify the\nwhole hearings. K said on Laos, the problem is this. Symington said\nwe don't start until next week. K indicated that he wanted to set some\nground rules. Symington suggested that K and Bryce get together for\nanother talk as they had agreed to and would be at K's disposal. But,\nK said, before he talks to Bryce about this, he wated to get Sy's feel\nabout what he is going to do -- there are international implications here.\nK asked if it was Symington's intention to make most of the hearings\npublic record. Symington said it was his instructions from the full\ncommittee to do so, except for the intelligence. We have made a record\nof intelligence but they took it back. They keep the record and we cannot\npublish it. Symington mentioned the fact that the head man of each agency\nwould be testifying and K said that should be hebpful to him. Sy said\nprovided they have the people where that can provide the details.\nSymington said there is no use in forming a sub-committee and then\nthis Administration not letting the people know something about it. He\nasked again that K read the article.\nK said he just wanted to get the ground rules.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
