advice on
I think A1 was impressed by your argument on the
concept thing because they did get Professor X.
K;
Well they got at least the white paper redone.
H:
Well, they got that redone and that was good, but they also had him
redo the front part of the speech, and Al said it was much better.
K:
Yes, but I haven't seen it.
H:
No, I haven't either.
K:
And that's the report I've had.
H:
And I don't know who's working on it beyond
K:
The thing that bothers me, between you and me, is that there isn't
anybody there who knows how to shape an intellectual

is a nice guy but, you know, he's a middle-level staffer.
H:

intellectual products is his forte.
H:

K:
I mean there's only one professional - that's Wright ONO and he doesn't
know anything about politics.
H:
Well, I'm in an odd situation here. I came in at his insistence to help
him personally - that's what he said - and I don't mind telling you -
I don't broadcast it to Rollie Evans and people like that.
K:
No, I'11 do that for you.
H:
But I want to arm you, the next discussion you have with Rollie, that
six weeks now I've been here, at a cost of X thousands of dollars a
month - which is not relevant, I realize, but that's a fact -- in order
to be helpful to this guy. He said three times to me I had to do that.
And do you know what I've done for him personally since I've been here?
