L: We can certainly lick it in conference.
K: Yes, but the conference might not 8 me until January; that
delays it 3 months and gives bad publicity on limits.
K: Yes, yes, yes, yes, but we almost need it for the SALT talks.
L: Yes, we've got nothing else to offer; might proceed along
that line with the bipartisan leadership. We are flying
Barry Goldwater ofer this morning.
K: He wants to see me this morning, not about this, just what
he found. I've got more people coming in hear tellkng me how to win the
war.
L: That's good Henry.
K: But you're the one who's going to win this war.
L: Everybody thinks we're going to win every battle.
K: That's why the P wants to go slow in January and Bebruary
and make the big one in March or April.
L: Tell them they can slip all questions over here. You tell them
my press briefing is at 11:30 tomorrow morning.
K: We will tell them all details will be handled at Defense when we
release it. I will sendyou the backgrounder, but it won't go into details. The
one thing I will stay away from is figures on combat and combat support.
L:
You don't want to get into percentages of combat and combat
support. In phase two, I'd like to refer to refer to them as security forces.
K: right
L: Theywon't have combat responsibility, but security responsibility.
K: Right. I've had word from Bunker that he's had contact from
those characters.
L: Maybe Berger will have to meet with Ky once a week; he is
the only one who can screw things up enough.
K: Right,
