telephoned me and I have asked him to present this personal
letter to you. On the ta el ephone he suggested the fault
might lie with the staff of the person with whom I had an appoint-
ment. He said perhaps they failed to notify the White House
police I was coming. Whether the overworked secretary of one
of your staff forgot to call the White House police is a matter of
total indifference to me. When someone enough known to be
called by name by the intercepting police officer which also
happened without xxx any self-identification by me, it's quite
enough to explain that that person has an appointment. Whatever
your other rules may be, and how bad I may consider them,
I'm afraid I connot forget this is the fact. For if Ron is correct
in asserting that I am authorized to enter the White House as an
normal American gentleman, as long as I have an appointment
then I have been called a liar at least by implécation, my rejection
of this - by the rejection of my explanation that this is the state
of affairs lyesterday afternoon.
K:
I don't know whether that last paragraph, Joe, will be compre-
hensible to tell you the truth.
A:
No.
K:
No, quite honestly, I think that up to that point you have an
overwhelming case.
A:
Well, I'11 just leave it off. I was in doubt about it, I think I will.
K:
I leave that last paragraph off, and the President will be
highly displeased with what happened.
A:
Okay, thank you Sir. See you tomorrow.
R:
Right.
