Mr. President:
You may wish to see this brief reply I have mile to Halberstam's
attached piece in the Septemb r 19727 Esquire.
I know, of course, the reasons for continuing to ignore writing
of this type. But I finally concluded that one among those who have
been brutally caricatured by Halberstam (President Johnson, Secretary
Rusk, Bob McNamara, Mac Bundy, Max Taylor, etc.) ), should record
with dignity the fact that his use of evidence has been quite corrupt.
I talked with Mad Bundy before sending this in. He did not encourage
me to answer but he confirmed that there were 6 or 7 major
inaccuración S in Halberstam's portrait of him in Harper's. In any
case, I thought you might wish to read this piece, which will probably
be published in the November 1972 issue of Esquire.
