Secretary Laird
12/24/70 1:05 p. m.
L: Three things: first
request to put a few more men in
Phnom
Penh.
How should we do this? Through the regular channel?
I have a request to put 10 members of a military equipment delivery
team in Phnom Penh and then others that will be in Saigon on a TDY
basis.
K: I will notify State that the President wants it done and they
should do it. How many are there now?
L: Three.
K: Say the President authorized up to 15 or 20.
L: We want 10 now and later on up to 15 or 20. I will just put this
through as a regular request with the Joint Chiefs' backup and send it to
you.
K: All right.
L: Next item, anything on the fiscal guidance?
K: Yes. He approved the 75. 5, a
billion increase
plus five hundred. But he wants Shultz to get in touch with you on how
it should be comprised.
L: I would like to do that as soon as I can. I will haveto work the
next few days on this. Is it all right if I call Schultz?
K: Sure, that is between you and him. He thought you wanted com-
plete authroity to do it all yourself.
L: No, I took 70 percent of their recommendations on that billion.
K: Then I don't think you have any problem with him.
L: The only thing I changed were his base closings and the B-1.
K: On the B-1 I am with you and the base closings is a political issue.
