That's\na very good way for a guy to learn without being under undue pressure.\nK:\nAnd you think very highly of him?\nB:\nWell, he has disadvantages against him, he has an advantage against\nhim in that he has, another place you could use him in some fashion is\nto help you with what I'll call the Flanigan front. He doesn't have any\nproblem in dealing with big business men or with understanding them\nfor what they are.\nK:\nWell, he can do that from the Under Secretaries, or thru Mutual\nSecurity because that just isn't a job.
