R: I have a small suggestion. I understand you and Bill Rogers
are talking to the Americans for Winning the Peace group on the
11th. Let me pass on a thought. I have heard echos from certain
of these conferences complaining about relative lack of candor and
fresh information, different from what's in the press. Some of the
Georgians who will be at the meeting are bright people and I would
like to encourage the people at the meeting to be as candid as pos-
sible. It's a small point, but I think it important.
K: It's a good suggestion -- frankly I haven't focused on what
I'm
going to say. I never speak where the press is present so that in it-
self will free me to be frank. I think when ad Administration official
speaks it should be as non-banal as possible. But you think the
Georgians coming are good?
R: Yes, first class. I'll be meeting with some of them a few
days later. I don't know if you have in mind who they are. They
are people like Livingston Merchant, Mary Lord, Al Gruenther.
It's a friendly group.
K: I knew that. What I wasn't sure about wes whether it was a
slightly right-wing group.
R: It's not right-wing, but if I had any criticism I'd say the
average age of the members is too old; they don't have very many
young people. But you can't do anything about that.
K: Do you ever come to Washington?
R: I was there just before Christmas and may come next month.
K: I'd consider it S privielege to have lunch with you.
R: I'll call when I am there.
K: Will you without a ppecific invitation ?
R: Yes.
K: Good.
