K: I hope you weren't too badly bruised yesterday.
S: No, I thought it was one of our better meetings.
K: I think we took care of some of your most troublesome
problems. And others we will take care of with the President.
S: We have to make sure we are clear on Defense's position.
won't
K: Laird wint be at the meeting tomorrow; it will be Packard.
S: Chet Hollofield wants me to appear Friday of this week.
I
urged him instead to accept Farley and perhaps you some time next
week.
K: I'11 be glad to brief, but not in an open session.
S: No, an executive session I think.
K: Not with any record kept. I am glad to be helpful, but I
can't establish the precedent that a White House aide testifies in
any form.
S: I'11 speak to Phil Farley and tell him I've made this commit-
ment for him and you will X join under those conditions.
K: Okay. I was talking with Laird this morning. His big pitch
now is we shouldn't open with a pitch right away. We should wait
10 days. Does that upset your program?
S: No, if he feels strongly we can go down the work program
for 10 days.
K: You might want to let him win that one and see about other
possibilities. You know his view on MIRV. He isn't going to go
along with you.
S: We can tokate tolerate that. I think you should check the
President's psychological position. It might be a letdown if there's
nothing for 10 days.
