It's just hipocracy.\nK: I thought the behavior the last time was outrageous when the\nSecretary General didn't even have the courtest to meet you at the door.\nP: I hope they don't get that new building. That hasn't gone through\nyet, has it?\nK: I don't think SO.\nP: On the Laotian thing -- that's going to peter out. They'll\nemote about that for a week or SO then have the troop announcement and\nthen they' 11 emote about that. Then eyes will go to the Congress, about\nwhat they'11 do about it. It isn't the public sentiment we're talking about.\nK: Actually the Congress is going to be going home about the time\nof the announcement.\nP: Yes, the House for a week; the Senate for two weeks. That\nwill help. We hope by the time they come back they'll have something\nelse to talk about. Mark my words Henry, this will taper off now.\nThere has been no explosion over the fire base has there?\nK: No, that's off the papers today.\nP: The main thing today is Calley -- which is too bad.\nK: I saw some interviews this morning -- they were uniformly\nagainst the verdict.\nP: That's what I mean -- I feel a lot of poeple are fed up with\nthis beating our breasts on America being always wrong. We've got\nto\nstart hitting this line. Be sure in your talks that they talk to the\ncolumnists back there, lead horses like Smith, Wilson, Noyes, and\npeople like Clark Mollenhoff. The main thing is to mobilize all of our\nfriends. It can be done. There is always a backlash against over-\nreaction and our opponents over-reacted on Laos, our setbacks there,\nthe defeat and all that.\nK: Right, and I think they showed their real colors too early.\nP: They showed they were against us."
