Z:
Henry?
K:
Yes Ron.
Z:
The
is about ready to go with a story. Before
we get into the press line, let's talk about the facts. That the
President sent you to see Zumwalt about a month ago and tell
him that he would be removed as Chief of the Navy hecause of
the racial prob.wantedReston.
K:
Total nonsense.
Z:
They say they have it from Hill sources who are willing to be
quoted. You never did do that did you?
K:
I haven't seen Zumwalt in two months - I didn't see Zumwalt
with any such message.
Z:
Did you discuss this? The aspect
of his leaving?
K:
I never discussed his leaving and I don't think he is leaving.
Z:
Well, fine that's what I wanted to know.
K:
So it is a flat totally, total untruth - I once discussed with him
at Ed's (?) request what he planned to do about this racial problem.
what was it on the Constellation?
Z;
Yes.
K:
But he called me to explain it to me.
Z:
But you didn't talk about him leaving.
K:
He was telling me what the situation was, I really wouldn't get
into it.
Z:
Okay fine.
K:
I would just say that I have not seen Zumwalt in two months, I have
never discussed his leaving with him in any form whatsoever.
Z:
I'll see you a little later this afternoon.
K:
Right.
