Did you want\nus to be involved? Have the White House arrange the briefing?\nS: Well, the closer we can keep this to the way it was handled\nin the past the better.\nK: We'll arrange it and you give it.\nS: All right. You're the master mind of the show. It would be\nhelpful if you could show your position.\nK: Why don't we do it the way we did it the last time? Except\ngive a larger amount of time to you. You tell what you've done. Helms could give\ncomments on the intelligence assessment. I could give comments on the White\nHouse attitude.\nS: The more we keep it on a historical basis rather than looking\nforward the better.\nK: Okay, then we will set it up. And your list sounds reasonable.\nI thought it would be a good idea and I am sure the P will agree. Can I let\nyou know this afternoon?\nS: Yes. I'm trying to avoid Senators Gore and Jackson from setting\nup meetings before their committees.\nK: Last time there was an even amount of time for everybody\nnow I want you to take more of it.\nS: But we can say the White House is handling the briefing?\nK: Okay good. We may not be able to stick with that, but we'll try.\nOn your note, the P may not say anything about it in the State of the Union\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
