L: I got this note on the President's request that we not limit sorties
requirements in S. E. Asia through July 30, 1970.
K: That's right.
L: I'm having to put some pressure on these people to keep within the budget.
We can't get a supplemental.
K: He said we are willing to draw down or something.
W:: We can draw down with a reduction in force someplace. We can put people
off but I need at least 60 days. Why would he choose July 30?
K: Three months.
L: I'm going to have trouble with this. I need $3 billion for Laos and I have
been having trouble hidding that. We increased Laos by more then dobible.
