B: You said a month ago that this year was your deadline.
K: I care less about what you write but what I care for is that you don't feel we
have gone soft in the head.
B: We spent an interesting day at the Hudson Institute last week with Don Brennan/
His formula for live Americans instead of dead Russians is interesting.
K: The scientific community is unbelievable. I have a group I meet with and
they are beyond belief. Their theory the more Ameridans that are vulnerable the
better it is. 4 years ago they had 4 sites. 6 months ago they suggested 4 fields
against Moscow and it's tremendous. Now with the agreement with Soviets they
suggest one large interceptor and low powered radar and all missiles in one
field. That's scientific advice.
B: Incredible. How is the morale there?
K: Uneven. We have a number of things going in foreign affairs xxxxxxxx field and
if we had a bere modicum of support we could end the war but with this country
why shouldn't the Vietnamese wait?
B: Anything to look forward to in the immediate future to animate your friend?
Detente in sight?
K: A number of things XXXXXX kicking that would be spectacular. After this month
we could have an extraordinary summer and that's not said lightly. Also I thought you
might like to know that Dr. Teller is on the FIAB. We have yet to do the paper work.
B: We are writing a piece on the Mao-Mao of Dr. Teller. Calling him in the middle
of the night and the whole bit.
K: Will you come down sometime?
B: I will make it a point.
