TELECON John Ehrlichman 9/16/71 11:50 a. m. E: You don't know the cosmic problem I'm calling you about: Sewer treatment plants. K: I'm for them. E: The question is who should build and plan them. Your Corps of Engineers has gotten support on the Hill for them to do it. I'm trying to get the Under Secretary of the Army to write to the Hill disclaiming in- terest in that. I wanted you to know that our environmental guys are mixed up in this. K: He didn't raise the question of sewage plants. He garxexx gave me some complicated story about some deal he had made in testimony that was looked over by you. E: We want a letter from Thaddeus Beall. If there is any serious problem about getting the letter why doesn't your guy get with Whittaker on this because he's involved in it. K: I'm against sewage -- you can quote me. And I'll do my best to dispose of it. E: Quit that! Well, there you are, another typical Lairdism and if you can get the Corps of Engineers off of it it will help a lot. K: I haveno particular interest in it, but I will check with Haig.
