He's hald himself available in case you did want anything in the near\nfuture. The report on Latin America. He needs a little guidance as to whether\nhe should go ahead.\nK: I'll get back to you by the end of this week. We are studying\nit with greatest care. It's a tricky problem - - it's got to be done delicately.\nR: I know, that will be okay. Other thing: I understand you got\na letter from Violet. I'm curious whether it claridied things.\nK: I thought this was the letter that\nNo it made the same point.\nR: Is this the letter to Crobby?\nK: Yes. I'd be glad to see Violet. It's clear that he is okay, but\nhe\ngave us to understand he was doing it in relation to Pompidou, and I don't think\nhe was. He is knowledgable and reliable, but he misled us.\nI get 2 types of hate mail a day: one saying get out of Vietnam, never mind\nwhat happens and two saying you god-damned bastards, why don't you protect\nthe Jews.\nR: I have no doubt that you did the right thing.\nK: If we must stand, it's better to stand for something different\nfrom the Esraelis. We are not going to back off of this.\nR: Good. Glad to head it.\nK: I appreciate what you are doing. I don't doubt that you are\ngetting a lot of heat.\nR: Yes, and it's holding up rather than subsiding.\nK: Really?\nR: But we're all knuckled under and we're taking the party line, which\nonly confirms the opposite view.\nK: They're very short-sighted. I don't think we have anything to be\nashamed of.\nR: Howare you otherwise?\nK: Okay.\nR: I had a nice visit with Fred Beegsten. That's comign quite well.\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."
