K:
No. But I'll call him within the next hour.
P:
Yes.
K:
I have talked to Connally.
P:
Yes, oh you did, good, on that other matter.
K:
Yes.
P:
And so, with regard to Agnew I just want him on board, just tell
him what decision-- if there is any of that whining just say, look,
it's been decided. Will you do that.
K:
Absolutely.
P:
Now the other point is--the only other one is worth talking to is
Laird just so that he reinfores the political judgment on it, you see.
Now, here it is, what is your opinion on the political side.
K:
Right.
P:
Dont' you think so?
K:
Right.
P:
Fine. At our meeting of course, Abrams just sat there like
a
clam as usual. Does he ever say anything.
K:
No, he's not the most articulate nor the most heroic guy.
P:
I don't mind the articulate, but I do mind the heroics.
K:
He did the same thing in Saigon. We got him out there, and he
sat there like a toad, he made one intervention after half an hour
which was slightly off the subject.
P:
I'll be damned. Too bad Haig isn't there now, isn't it.
K:
Yes.
P:
We made a mistake there.
K:
Well, no, we couldn't make him feel-
P:
I know, but yes, we could have. We could do a little--
K:
No, I think he should be made Chairman when Moorer leaves.
