    "ocrText": "Telecon\nThe President\n5/22/70 6:20 p.m.\nP: I forgot to ask you about that Cooper-Church thing, to be\nsure everyone is in line. There is to be no compromise. That's a\nfalse report XNX of Scott claiming the House is going to\nThe\nHouse is not about to turn around.\nK: I talked to Harlow about it and while he prefers a compromise\nP: He alwasy wants a compromise. But that would have a bad\naffect. Then it looks like the result of the Senate slapping our wrists.\nK: He doesn't know what you are planning to do in June. You\nwant the Senate in a position of responding to you. If they speech \"in\nconcent with the President's declared intent, 11 that's ane thing. If they\ndo it before that's another.\nP: Make sure he has the word. Say there are sensitive deplomatic\nreasons for it. I will announce the speech early. I could announce it on\nThursday of next week to do the following Thursday.\nK: So sitewitk we will have had to stagger through four days, which\nwe can do. No problem.\nP: Another thing. I was heartened by the meeting today in terms\nof the Rogers thing. Schultz and others were saying that there was a\ncredibility gap\nBut Rogers, who's the most sensitive, said it's\nnot true.\nK: Schultz has been agonizing about it for a year. He's too sensitive.\nRogers is very sensitive to the situation.\nP: He's sensitive to those hard hats.\nK: I've sent Bill your plan, an extension of your order to Laird.\nP: I wanted to be sure they thought they were determining it.\nThis meeting they thought they were deciding the whole thing.\nK: Good. Actually Bill agrees on the bombing, which surprised\nme. It was Laird who disagreed.\nP: Yes. He also agreed with letting the ARVN run loose. And\nthat's exactly the right line. If they should take Sihanoukville, then we will\nlet the ARVN do the mining."
