K:
And I don't think you really can do that.
R:
No I can't but I have refered to what you have told me already SO
you will really be backing me up in a sense and repeating the substance
of what I pareviously told Case and referred to at least in a general way
yesterday and this is of course is their reason for you to be there in the
hope of to just avert the risk that when they say that sentence they
would feel that they really needed to get part of it from you as an
second hand one from me. But I think the account you will give is
one there has been some preparation for in their minds already or
at least in cases SO I think you will give an explanation in a convincing
way and apart from your own manner of accounting for it there is the
what I think is a very compelling circumstantial extrinsic support for
that version of it because it just isn't plausible that it would have
happened any other way.
K:
Yeah.
R:
So, I think all of those things will help. This is what I believe to be
kind of
I don't really think they want to block this nomination. I
think they've created what is in effect a symbolic issue over this
and have gotten the due recognition of their prerogatives. I think
they111 be disposed to let it go.
K:
Yeah.
R:
Case explained his motivation to me as being essentially being that
of focusing enough attention on this SO that he would be XOnXiXiXbiXXX
contributing to raising the threshold of sensitivity toward this kind
of invasion of individual rights. He wouldn't argue that it was never
justifiable he would only say that I want Kissinger and you XXXXX
people to think more than twice about it and by going through all this
I'm helping to make that point. I think that's the only point he wanted
to make.
K:
Alright. Right.
R:
May I ask you one thing. In the recitation of the requests the only
one that I remember that you are directly identified is Hedrick Smith.
Could you say I've said in affect and I hope I'm right about this.
I
think I did check it with you earlier that Smith or
anyone
who published leak that you were acting
your only role was to
act in a manner consonant with the policy determination that had
initially been made by the President in conference with Hoover.
K:
That's absolutely right.
