Elliot Richardson
2/26/70 2:35 p. m.
R: On the backgrounder, I have just been in a session with Rogers
and Green and Sullivan and Johathan. The Secretary is very much
against backgrounding. He asked me to call you.
K: Who, the Secretary?
R: Yes, he thinks important considerations make it not a good idea.
For one thing, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is pushing hard
on Katerial for hearings. We, in this building, would like to release
more than Ehrlichman's committee probably would
K: That's a very strong point.
R: I think so too; I hadn't thought of it. He's like to reppen the
question of how much we can or should release. We think, or I am
told by Marshall and Johathan, that in Volume I of the task fo rce,
the Senate makes
a good case for what we are getting with marginal
supplementation to the effect that nothing has changed. It might reduce
the strain on relations with the committee at some time as providing
a means of furnishing a backgrounder.
K: We could provide backgrounding information and simultaneously
let go the
part of the testimony.
R: If we had an edited fersion of what is going to be released, we
could supply this simultaneously.
K: When?
R: I don't know.
K: Could you send over what you want to release and I'll get you
an answer?
R: Fine, I'll do that.
