L:
It's up a little bit. Of those 84 there were only 54 killed during the
week. The others died in the hospital afterwards -- due to Fire Base Ripcord.
K: It was good you pulled out of there. He doesn't want to do it without
provocation but if the casualties go above 100 --
L: What if we don't get provocation? I don't mind going north.
K: Better get ofer 100. If there's provocation, we had better go up north.
L: I have tried but can't get anything.
K: I need contingency planning. Could we do it over here?
L: Sure. I will keep the DMZ in the background here. Also a strike on
one of the bases. We can go in a hurry.
K: Let's keep that until something comes up.
L: You don't want to do it near his speech.
K: Before Sept. 1 or after the election.
L: I think SO. It may be better after the election. Let's see how it goes.
We have some things on the burner. I was giving a briefing in the House
last Friday morning and there's a lot of discontent developing over the
fact that they think military plans are in good shape in Indochina but they
are worried about the economic thing.
K: We have to get to that. We are going to get a paper out this week on the
devaluation.
L: You have our paper. That's a good paper. If we fall on our faceson
other areas than military --
K: The President sent a paper to Bill Rogers setting up a group on S. E. A.
strategy. You are right. You have called that shot all along.
