Secretary Laird

L: Henry.
K: Mel, how are you?
L: Welcome home!
K: What the hell are you guys doing bombing this bloody Hanoi while I
am talking.
L: Well, you know, you have -- it might have been a hung bomb there.
K: Yeah.
L: But you know, that was three miles away.
K: Yeah.
L: You know, I can't guarantee you that with that bombing stuff -- you know
you can't be sure of it everytime, Henry.
K: Yeah. Okay.
L: It didn't cause you any problems, did it?
K: Yes it did, but they were overcome. Look, what did you call me about?
I have something.
L: I called you -- you know I've got to go down again to Flroida again. I
am making two appearances down there this afternoon with a big press
conference at 4:00 with all the weeklyand daily newspapers.
K: Jesus, what time are you leaving?
L: I am scheduled to leave now at 2:00.
K: Can you come over here at noon so that I can talk to you. Because I
need your help on a number of things. And I want to talk to you on a very
personal basis.
L: Alright. I'll come over around what -- 12:00?
K: Yes. I'd come over to you but I am really swamped.
L: No, no, I'll come over -- I'll see you at about 12:00.
