K: The Commander-in-Chief is getting lawfully sore about the slow-flying
platforms he wants over there. Can you get a paper over here on that?
L: I did -- I sent you a paper.
K: Oh, than it's probably going through my bureaucracy. It's my
fault. Does it give specific dates when it will be there. He wants to have
some additional stuff.
L: We're putting gunships and A-1s out there as fast as we can -- I
don't know what else we can do.
K: When did you send the paper over?
L: I signed it Monday night -- it may not have gotten to you till
yesterday. Those B-26s -- it's better to buy aircraft than to send them.

K: I'm on your side -- I'm not finding fault.
L: I know, I'm not arguing -- I'll send you a paper.
K: I don't even know what a B-26 looks like.

K: Tell him in the paper that the wings were falling off them in 163 already.
L: Tom Moorer came in and said 'you're not serious about those B-26s '
I said yes I am. He said 'I wouldn't fly klaatx one of those in 163. I
K: Say you have carefully examined them, that we are, of course, prepare(
to do it but this is the case and I will endorse it.
L: Okay.
