Dewey\n4/17/70 p.m. page 2\nD: Are there any dates you have in mind that I might have to pre-empt?\nK: Two things: I would like to have a DOD person talk to you about the\nPOW thing. That would be Mr. Nutter and one of his people. I'll have them\ncheck with your office\nD: I can make Tuesday afternoon after 2:30.\nK: They'11 be in touch. Some time in the next two or three weeks\nI d like to talk to you about some of the negotiating problems we have\ncoming up.\nD: Are you going to be in town soon? For the evening, for a date?\nK: Not likely. My reputation as a swinger is very greatly exaggerated.\nThe intention is there, but not the time.\nD: I understand. I lived it and it's a hell of a life. I do think you'd\nlive tonger if you could enjoy it more.\nK: Could you try to make an appointment in the next two weeks? We\nmay ask you to do something/ It's important for you to understand the\nbureaucratic reasons why we want to do it.\nD: I am at your service.\nK: I have so much confidence in you.\nD: I wish I could justify it.\nK: It's tough to find people whom you know are on your side.\nD: George Gallup has written me a letter saying he's got 80 pages in\ndraft on research in depth on public opinion on Vietnam. He wants me to\nread it and advise him. Should I say I11 be glad to read it and get a more\nofficial opinion on it se he won't be misled? I could send it down to you and\nyou could have bomebody with brains on your staff take a look at it. Might\nbe able to pick up a few things to prevent error or make it better imformed.\nI have the highest regard for him as a scholar. If it would be useful I11\nget an extra copy and sent it to you."
