3.3(b)(1)
P:
Did Elliot help you today?
K:
Yes, he was good. Marshall Green collapses when things are tough.
P:
I am not going to be devensive on
Laos. I really feel
the briefing book has alot of material --didn't we cover it in the
statement?
K:
It is just so you have it in mind just in case you get asked about it.
P:
Let's keep Laos out of the thing.
K:
Yes. You fully stated your position in your statement of two weeks
ago.
as
P:
What about this order? I just want it to be sent over for an order
to be signed by me.
K:
It is being drafted and I will have it for you.
P:
They don't have to put out a press release.
K:
I have given the strictest instructions not to say anything.
P:
They say these things can't be done -- for a year we hit Cambodia
but no one knew.
K:
Dick Helms sent over a memorandum from the Station Chief in Laos
that said without the B-52's the whole thing is going to fall apart.
P:
Why is B'52 so important?
K:
B-52's bomb with radar, they fly with reconnaissance.
P:
If anybody asks me about that I will say yes, we will continue to do
that. The thing to do is not to be a bit defensive about it. We have
to say that the enemy is threatening our position in Laos.
K:
I still hope this thing in Paris will work out -- certainly after two
more meetings something should.
