He just mentioned it to me.\nHAK: I don't give him the content of my conversations. Hewas going to call\nyou and aay it was unfar. I thought I was keeping him off your back.\nK: I wanted you to know that I was mystified but I was ready to wait. I don't\nundeestand your relationship on this issue with the President.\nHAK: I can't provide a check list on what I recommend and what I don't. When\nI know a Presidential view then I have to see that it gets full consideration in\nthe bureaucracy. Not that no other view can get consideration but that view\nmust have my options. Whatever you want, , I cannot state a personal view\ndifferent from the President\nK: That's what you were doing.\nHAK: I don't remember I was trying ? ? ? ? and a rational for our program.\nThey were only a partial explanation of what he is doing. He was asked about\narea defesne which was unfortunate.\nK: He was asked\nHAK: If they had been anticipated he should have given the whole rationale.\nThe problem arose that he had changed his rationale back to Sentinel without\nthe Sentinel circumstances. The second point he wanted to convey, I don't\nknow if you have talked with Paul Doty, ? ? ? ? the\ngoing into the\nissue.\nK: Do you know Paul's views?\nHAK: Yes, and they are hostile. I enormously respect him. They would be\nopposed. I can safely say his view would be to hold up.\nK: Of course\nAHK:: I wanted to make the point that Paul agreed\nK: I wanted you to know that he and others had not given you a frank opinion,\nand it bothered them. They felt it had been fuzzed over."
