    "ocrText": "Telecon\nAlton Frye (Senator Brooke's office)\n6/23/70 9:52 a. m.\nF: The Senator told me of his conversation with you. He was anxious\nthat we have as full a discussion as time permits on hisletter.\nK: My problem is that my schedule is absolutely murderous.\nF: I'm sure/ that's true. I could mention a few things on the phone.\nK: Well I have two problems: one the stories that I had opposed it,\nwhich I have objected to rather violently.\nX F: I can explain how that story came to our office. We got a call\nfrom\na White House reporter saying he understood that a draft\nresponse had been prepared in your shop and that the response was negative.\nK: I never comment on Senatorial letters out of this office. That would\nput he President in an impossible position. Did you ever get the response?\nF: No and we don't want to until we have had a chance to discuss it. It's\nvery important. We would rather go to thediscussion of the substance as soon\nas it's convenient. I know your schedule is bad and I don't wantto make any\ngreater demands. But we believe it's terribly important to harmonize Congres-\nsional and Presidential efforts in this area.\nK: I understand that. But if a newspaperman can elicit comments by\nalledging something we're in a terrible position. I didn't know that you had\nwritten the letter till I read the column. My problem is that this week I am\ngoing off with the President on Thursday for a week. I would be glad to talk\nwith you and the Senator when I get back.\nF: We would like to move with it in the Senate on the Military Sales Bill.\nIf we get an agreement at an appripriate point we could pass this and we wouldn't\nbexablex bex caught in the trap of a devisive debate for an endless summer.\nK: I will have to talk to the President first. He hasn't addressed it yet.\nI'll get back to you.\nF: Okay.\nK: I have been an admirer and, I think, a supporter of the Senators for\na long time. If there's an office I don't want to disagree with it's yours.\nF: We feel the same."
