2:57 p.m.; 4/18/70
W
I just had a call from Secretary Rogers, who said that
Tom Braden had reported on his radio broadcast that you
had advised the President that he has additional good news
in addition to the return of the Apollo 13 Astronauts because
you thought we were at the beginning of the end of the war in
Vietnam.
K
That's absolute baloney. I haven't even seen Braden in
6 months.
W
Do you want me to do anything about this.
K
There is absolutely nothing to it. It's pure invention.
W
Should I do anything vis-a-vis Braden?
K
I haven't even seen Braden except for 10 minutes at a party
a while back. There was absolutely nothing said. Tell =
Rogers there was absolutely nothing to it.
W
I'll call him right back.
K
I have said no such thing. I haven't seen Braden.
W
I will call Rogers right away. I'11 confirm with you as soon
as I talk to him.
K
It's pure invention, tell him. There will, of course, be
no such thing said.
