I don't think he would have said that. I'll take a look at what\nScott said, and see how he feels. I don't want to pull the rug out from under\nhim and I don't want to embarrass you. I don't want to make the Hill mad either\nbecause we may have trouble getting a continuing resolution. I'll check on it.\n11/3/71 9:25 a.m.\nR: I talked to Hugh Scott and he was pretty categorical. I think the only\nposition we can take is to say \"yes, Scott expressed the view of the Administra-\ntion; the president felt a veto would be employed to defeat Cooper-Church. He\nalso feels foreign assistance bill is of fundamental importance to our foreign\npolicy, and in the unlikely event that he felt he had to veto it he felt the\nSenate would act responsible in passing a bill without it,\nK: That's okay. They loaded this with unacceptable amendments and they\ncan't just offer us an unacceptable bill or no bill.\nR: If Scott had been a little bit more responsible and just said \"I\nBeel sure? but I think this is the only way to do it since he spoke out in the\ndebate. Fulbright is trying to get a bill out of the committee quickly so he\ncan get his way in the Russia negotiations, It seems to me we have to argue\nagainst it, try to slow it down. Because they are going to have a continuing\nresolution of some kind. All hell will break loose if we have to fight these\npeople, and the whole damn world community would be up in arms.\nK: It seems to me work make a fight of this foreign aid thing. There is\na lot of sanctimonious XENNIX being put out. After all, we've voted on Cooper-\nChurch four or five times. It wasn't there for the first time, and we have\nalways opposed it.\nR: Ithink we can make a fight. It's going to be a painful fight. You\ncan't get anyone to line up. They are all against us for sarious reasons\nK:\nI know.\nR:\nOkay Henry."
