MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. KEOGH
The President agrees with your evaluation of Bruce Catton as a
possible author of "The Great Comeback" and feels you should not
pursue that any further.
You had suggested Robert Donovan earlier and I raised this with
the President and got mixed reactions. I think if we end up with
nobody else that Donovan is a possibility and I know, while the
President was negative at first, he changed his opinion somewhat
as he thought about it.
In other words, if Donovan seems to be the best recommendation,
let's go back to the President with that as the final choice and see
if he doesn't want to approve it.

MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. KEOGH
The President says that A1 Moscow would not be the right person
to write the comeback book. His writing ability is not adequate
for this task. (On the basis of my past exposure, I would certainly
concur.)
