K: The President wants to take a harder line.
L: I will but tomorrow at the press conference. Bill will be asked about this
at the press conference tomorrow.
K: I will call him.
L: Let me talk about one other thing. Haldeman has been talking to Wallace
and Buzzard thinking I should take tougher line on intelligence things like the
line we have had in the past.
K: It will go away in a couple of days.
we did
L: We start hearings in a couple of days. A few things MXXXX get carried away on.
What I am going to do is put all that human intelligence of investigation of civilians
to Gen. Bennett and ask him to report to me. So we don't get hit hard on this.
I was shocked yesterday that Moynihan said that Defense was running spies
at the conventions. That was the Secret Service. To protect us I will have
investigations of civilians under Bennett and get them approved and we don't
want to do away with it.
K: It willxxx simmer down.
L: We are asserting strikt civilian control and the Secy. of Defense is taking
control and reassign responsibilities down the line. I will call Haldeman and
say it's all I can do.
K: And check with me. Sometimes the boys in the front office g etxectix over
eager. They
all over the place.
L: You understand?
K: Of course.
L: We haven't made much progress on the budget. If you have a to problem, let
me know.
K: I will.
