I heard about the editorial you are\ngoing to publish on Sunday, but I think the situation is much more\ncomplex. You of course heart only one side of the story.\nH:\nI know that Ky(?) is a representative of\nbut than Ky and I are\nclose personal friends.\nK:\nI have high regards for Ky but it goes far beyond the manauvering\nthat is going on in Saigon.\nH:\nI am in New York right now.\nK:\nThey told me they got you in Los Angeles - on the West Coast.\nH:\nNo they got me in New York - but I know they got my number from\nthe office in Los Angeles and when they found out it was you calling\nthey got me here.\nK:\nI may be in New York on Wednesday. Maybe I could see you.\nThere are\nH:\nI would appreciate talking to you./ many people who have been for\nthe principles of why we entered this war and a lot of the doves seem\nto have forgotten this. I don't think it is necessary to drop the ball.\nK:\nWhat I would like to do is to explain this story to you. I couldn't\nagree with you more when you say we should not drop the ball.\nWhen my scheduled is cleared up for next week - could I call you\non Monday to see when we can get together.\nH:\nCertainly. My number in New York is COlumbus 5-7300. If I should\nbe at home my office can connect you directly there. Or if you\nprefer my number there is area code 914/669-5200. It is not a hotel -\njust a number they gave us.\nK:\nWe will get you one way or the other.\nH:\nTell the President that if I have done him an injustice XX I will go\nK:\nWe are so close - we know where your heart is and I will call you on\nMonday."
