K said after meeting with various intelligence people, he told Pres conscensus was did not look like MIRVES now - CIA looking for last bit of evidence. H said he should tell K something he did not know. He went to see Mel last Thursday - they misread the tape. H said he then saw Beecher story which was in error. K asked whether it is wrong to say whatever it is they have been testing ne(2) because of its radius. H said that is about right. K went over with H what he had gotten out of meeting and H agreed that K was right. (This was all over my head and much too fast to get down) H said he wanted to tie down the SS-9 single warhead production - wasn't interested in MIRV thing at that point. H said Symington was only unfriendly one. K said what he has been telling Pres is not inconsistent with what H has been saying. Everyone agrees it is not a MIRV jm Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.
