K:
Hello.
H:
Henry !
K:
Yes, A1.
H:
Henry, XXNX we were just talking about, you know Edward Teller
would like very much to come in and join the administration in some
function.
K:
Yeah.
H:
Well, what do you think about making him energy Czar ?
K:

H:

K:

H:
Damn right.
K:
You know, you'd get unbelievable flack for a while, but so what?
H:
Well, you know, in energy, it's all peaceful use.
K:
Oh yeah, I think it's a spectacular idea. He'd be imaginative.
H:
Would it be a problem in the Middle East in any way. I can't think so.

H:

K:
I think that's right. And you know, I don't think the energy czar
