TELCON
SECRETARY KISSI NGER - PETER FLANIGAN
January 2, 1973
2:45 p. m.
H
K: Hello.
F: Hello, Henry.
K: How are you? Pete, I was talking with the President. You are looking
for people for Japan for me.
F: That's correct. A
K: And you mentioned the former head of Sears? Who are you talking about?
F: The former head is a fellow by the name of Gordon Metcalf. A very able
guy. We thought that William--and his nickname is Mill Batten, who the
President knows, is better.
K: OK.
F: He is a former head of JC Penney. You want to hear the rest of the list?
K: And can you get it over to Eagleburger SO that he can LDX it out here?
F: Sure, it has already gone to Eagleburger. Now, Howard Clark, of Amer.
Express
he's supposed to retire in a few years. Several of these men might
be on the edge of retirement so they might be available.
K: Good.
F: Well, I'11 read them to you quickly. In order of ability and the fact that
they are close to retirement. Mill Batten, of JC Penney. A fellow by the name
of Bob Ullman of National Cash Register, Gordon Metcalf of Sears, a wonderful
fellow, Jim Binger of Honeywell, he's only 57. I doubt that he would be available.
Bill Hewitt of Dear & Co. and Howead Clark. But the first three would be
my recommendations.
K: OK. Good.
F: Good, Henry.
K: Now, Firestone won't take Canada. And I would like to give it to Bill Porter
who is moving.
F: at's fine.
