MEMORANDUM FOR:

SUBJECT:
Alsop use of Graham Report
of LBJ / McGovern Meeting
As I indicated to you earlier, John Ehrlichman called suggesting
that we get the Billy Graham report on the McGovern/LBJ meeting
to Alsop for use in his column.
John thought that if you agreed this was a good idea, that you
should proceed with making whatever arrangements necessary.

MEMORANDUM FOR H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
L. HIGBY
Billy Graham returned his call once again and learning that you
were unabailable, talked to me on the two subjects he was calling
you on. The first was regarding his conversation with LBJ and the
second was regarding his thoughts on the speech. I have attached
a copy of his thoughts on the speech in the form of a memo from you
to the President.
Regarding his conversation with LBJ, LBJ instructed Billy Graham
that he had issued instructions to his people that there were to be no
reporters or pictures taken at McGovern's session with LBJ. Carl Albert
will also be in attendance, along with another man who has already announced
that he is against McGovern. Graham was not sure of the name of this
individual, but thought it was Tommy something. Billy emphasized that
it was obvious that former President Johnson was not feeling well and
spoke continually in a low whisper which made it very difficult for him
to understand. Billy said he based his arguments to Graham on an article
that was in yesterday's LA Times indicating that McGovern had likened
both Nixon and Johnson to Hitler.
Your memo to the President on speech ideas is attached.
