Next thing, it doesn't do any good to get into a hassle with\nFord, Scott, Griffin,\non what the President\ndid or did not say. These Congressmen are going to unite on their inter-\npretation.\nfor them to get into a big flap on it now. It's\nScott talking. To get the White House into a flap with Scott and Ford\nWere you there? I wasn't.\nK: Yes, I was there. What he said is consistent with both interpreta-\ntions. The Congressmen are not wrong to draw the conclusion they did that\nhe had a date in mind.\nL: They think it is wrong to have the President make a foontal attack\non them. For one thing if there's anything that unites guys being taken\non that way. They say the President said he had a plan but wasn't giving it\nto them/\nK: That's right. He did say that.\nL: It would have been better if they had kept their mouths shut, but\nit's better now if we keep our mouths shut.\nK: I think we all should shut up now. We should just stand on the\nPresident's speech.\nL: That ought to be, but Klxexixex that isn't what happened yesterday.\nK: I will see that Ziegler keeps quiet.\nL: We are trying to get down into that Congressional fight and I am\nnot going to.\nK: Let's just stand on the President's speech, but let's not explain it\neither.\nL: We are going to stay with it, but what's happening over there is\nthat some people are backing away from the President's speech. We have\ngot to just stand on it and then forget it. Scott and Ford and all these\nguys are going to go all out that he promised a total withdrawal let them\ndo that talking. But there's no sense in taking them on. We are the losers\nif we start doing that.\nK: Okay. One thing I wanted to mention. We have a Verification\nPanel meeting this afternoon on SALT and there are two things: One,\nthe\nPresident would prefer to have Safeguard against NCA rather than NCA\nagainst NCA in the position"
