K: I thought your press conference came out extremely well -- I
haven't read the transcript yet, but I read very extensive tickets and
thought you handled it with subtlety and strength and without being
bellicose.
R: I hope the President likes it.
K: If he doesn't like this, he's not easy to please. I'm just joking --
I know hell like this.
R: We've gotten good reports from the press too.
K: It was positive, not bellicose, but also not cringing.
R: Thanks very much Henry. Are you getting time off for Christmas?
K: Yes, and I'm going with my kids to the West coast and to work on
the annual report.
R: I hope you'11 enjoy it with your children.
K: It's a good place to have them, close to Disneyland and all of
those things.
R: Well, Merry Christmas.
K: Thank you and congratulations.
12/23/70 4:00 p. m.
K: I went over to tell the President how well I thought of it and he had
already called you. But I have had a chance to talk now and read more pas -
sages. He was extremely pleased with it and he will probably call you himself.
R: I wasn't asked specifically about Fulbright, but I told McCloskey to
fill the press in on what happened. Actually Fulbright came out looking good.
K: You said it was all a hoax and these people were acting in the national
interest but it is clear a prudent man wouldn't have shot off his mouth. That
was your best press conference if you don't mind my saying SO.
R: The format is pretty good -- to have one subject at a time.
