the government is made under the laws as they exist today. Williams
changed the tax laws on me, not on Eisenhower, Truman and Hoover.
He came down here in 1969 and he wrote amendment that took away
any tax benefits you get from it. So the situation is that today I haven't
got a collection of papers. Rusk hasn't sent his. McNamara. You get
no benefit from them. Dean Rusk got just enough to pay for his room rent.
The Rusk papers - I don't know what he will ultimately do. But some of
the papers will be sold to Charles Hamilton and we will buy them back.
Because this mean old man Williams went along and the Library of
Congress says there has taxter not been one important gift of papers
after that amendment has been adopted. So you just kill history.
K: I am going to make both these points late this afternoon when the
President gets back.
J: There are 500 people whose papers I should have. I have not
received one set since this amendment was adopted.
K: The other point you make about the declassification that they be
settled before one leaves office because if you don't thexxku the
bureaucracy is as much opposed to our foreign policy as it was to yours.
And they have a vested interest to leak out their secrets and prevent
you and us from getting XX ours out. I look forward to getting this
memorandum. And of course, as you know, I have X no discretion
myself but I will push it very hard.
J: Thank you so very much, my good Doctor.
