CORCORAN: I'd like to talk with you lawfully much about JOHN SONNETT (Special Assistant to Secretary of Navy). He was in--he talked with me yesterday afternoon. He told me what you had advised him that you wanted him to take and I told him that I thought he ought to take it. But I'd like, for the sake of JOHNNY up in New York, to have just five minutes to talk with you about it because I want to be sure that that kid doesn't get trapped in a situation where he'll be no good to JOHNNY later on where JOHN expects him to go back by reason of the 2-year business and all the rest of it. I'd like five minutes with you tomorrow if you'd let me talk to you.
