Lee Byrd (AP)
3/12/71 5:25 p. m.
B: I am calling with regard to your meeting with the Berrigan
co-defendants.
K: No, there were no co-defendants.
B: They were if you read the account and find it accurate.
K: None of the participants were co-defendants.
B: They were termed that way.
K: No, co-conspirators, not co-defendants. There's a big difference.
None of these people were indicted. The story was based on a misunder-
standing of the ground rules by the participants. It was supposed to be a
private meeting, like many similar meetings I have had with concerned
groups. I don't feel that I should describe it. The intention was not to
give them any
To convince them of our sincerity
this is
not for quotation incidentally.
B: All right.
K: Our intention was just to give them the sense that concerned
people were trying to manage affairs of the country. The story is
essentially correct; one part is not: where R saysI imply that I am the
conscience of this Administration.
B: That was their assertion, was it not?
K: That's right.
B: Do you mind if I quote you as saying its is essentially correct
with the exception of that one thing?
K: No, I prefer not to be quoted.
B: ???????
K: You can certainly quote me as saying I have many meetings of this
kind and I feel that in order for them to be meaningful I feel it best that I
not comment on them.
B: All right. Thank you.
