Telcon
Secretary Laird
February 20, 1970; 9:10 a. m.
L: I am ready to go up on the Hill. I start this morning and go the
next 15 days.
K: If you can't confuse them no one can.
L: I don't have to go on Saturdays and Sundays, SO I will be in the office.
K: I was calling you to wish you a lot of success. The only other item
was to tell you about yesterday. It seems everyone thinks the statement
is now in fine shape. I am putting out another directive today saying
for day-to-day backup we are forming a new group under Johnnie Foster.
L: Then you will have everybody on it.
K: Is that agreeable?
L: Yes. Johnnie can live with the thing.
K: The President is very anxious that we all say the same thing. That
is his concern.
L: My only concern about yesterday was that they were trying to press
the best I had over there. I didn't know Helms and Farley were going
to be over there -- I would have sent somebody else over there.
K: I understood your concern. I think for the day to day business we
ought to have it under Foster.
L: Are there any other problems?
K: No. I wish you lots of luck. I think you have a good statement
there -- the posture statement.
L: They think it's a little too hard line. But somebody has to be a
little hard line.
