P: What I was thinking about was that you should give Wheeler a call and make
sure he knows what I said about this SAM decision directly and what I said
XXXX privately to Laird about those generals. I will not let those guys fall for
this. Laird may not want to talk to them but it has to get down the line to them and
I will not persecute them. McGovern says he is going to attack the Nixon
doctrine. As far as I'm concerned we gain nothing by giving them anything.
You were so W excited about germ warfare and Biafra. Who has heard of Biarfa
since that day you called me?
K: These bleeding hearts ? ? ? ? ? Basically they like power and success.
P: Biafra will die.
are
K: Andxxxxx being starved.
P: We have the 52's in here and they will go. SAM's we will hit and hit fast.
I want it done Sunday.
K: I will have that memo on your desk tomorrow xxixx morning.
P: I want Laird and Wheeler to know we want something done Sunday.
K: I was justtalking to Laird to make sure he will deep the menu thing going.
P: Put it in writing and I will sign it.
K: I told him menu was coming.
P: Never send anything to Laird in the future without sending it to Wheeler.
Send them a just memo on menu. Hit the SAM sites and send a memo signed
my me. We will get this bureaucracy in shape.
K: I couldn't agree more.
