I think it has as much to do with it as anything else. We will give him anything he wants. Tri has done most of the planning with his staff. K: He seems to have done very well. L: He is not getting much attention. K: It seems to have soured it. L: As far as the Tri operation is going, it is going very well. The Saigon press is not getting much attention because the Laos thing is getting all the attention and I don't know what you can do about that, Henry. Getting into there again tonight with the big birds. K: In the northern part. L: Yeah. Think the thing's coming along alright. There will be fighting up there in the next week and it will be kind of tough. K: We sort of expected that. L: I think we can give a good report SO far. He only wanted 10 minutes. K: 10 minutes is enough. L: If we get Government officials to stop talking about that operation in the North. It just gives it credibility. K: Is there anyone else but Herb Klein? L: It was Herb's briefing but I wish he would check those things out with Ron or beforehand. K: It never occurred to me that Klein L: I thought they had the Special Action oup. K: We had guidance and everyone did. I will get Herb under control. L: Those figures were the wrong ones, direct out of the transcripts. All over the town we classified them. How did your trip go?
