B:
Thank you very much for calling me Henry. I realize
how busy you are. I wanted to discuss with you this
whole business about the Hoffa thing which I had only
read in the paper and bring you up to date. Back in the
last go-around in 1968 I had been working since the
Eisenhower days we had a fellow in the Labor Department
which was very dependable and he got us in touch with
Hoffa's people and I finally got in touch with him which
was the basis of a role. Since that time we have been
working and trying to get his parole lifted so that he
could come out directly for the President because part
of the deal when he was put up there was that he couldn't
do any political activities. Obviously he made a deal
to protect himself and I know he has been playing golf
out at Burning
with Kleindinst and the rest
of them. But we've also got a deal here now where
I think -
K:
You really ought to talk to Clark McGregor if it is a
political thing.
B:
Well I was just going to give you this background about the
whether or not you - I thought it might be of interest to you
to know this aspect that we had been working on about this
part about whether he would and make this trip to Vietnam.
This is the reason I called you about it.
K:
We have no interest in his taking this trip to Vietnam.
B:
That won't be coming off?
K:
No.
B:
Well, that answers my question. I just felt there might be
something that you should know if something like that was
in the offering.
K:
Yeah, but we cannot have him take a trip. We cannot encourage
private negotiation.
B:
Yes I understand that but I just thought since I had been working
on this thing a long time it was something I should at least let
you know -
