K: Exxxxxxx You can do one of two things -- swing by here on way back or Haig will come over later. L: Better if Haig comes over about 1:00. K: Make sure that for your information President may give a speech. No speculation on what he may say but this won't be in it in this way. L: Members will press me. I think I will go back to Porter's statement. K: Just say what we have is on public record. L: I will be here 3 hours this morning. I am up here every day. K: We don't want anything said today to add speculation. L: I haven't been speculating. Brooke and Scott. Scott says he was briefed on it. K: By whom ? L: He says it but he does that all the time.
