God damn it, why would he say\nit at a staff meeting.\nS:\nMakes no sense whatseever, Henry.\nK:\nDoeshe think I won't get him eventually.\nS:\nWell, I thought I had done it based on our conversation yesterday, but\nI'll tell you very honestly I can't be very confident.\nK:\nWell, what does he think he's doing.\nS:\nI don't know what he's doing, and frankly Henry I think we have to make\na change there at some point, because I was not satisfied with the\nkind of visit between us the kind of presentation that he really made\nat all in the meeting. Now it's at the staff meeting,\nK:\nYes, that's sabotage. If he wires you back channel, if he wired me\nback channel, if he wrote aletter, if he said one piece of information,\nbut to announce it at a staff meeting, they'll spew it all over Cairo.\nS:\nOf course they will. Well Henry, I don't know what to say and I don't\nknow what to do about it because I thought I'd done what I could.\nhe\nK:\nWell, what did you say when you told him this.\nS:\nHe wasn't happy but he said fine, ;I'll tell you very candidly he was a\nlittle sour but you know what I said to him, I said those xxxxxxxxxxx\nare the conditions of work and if you don't like the conditions of work\nyou let me know and I'll will recommend your immediate removal.\nI had to use that kind of language I'll tell you quite honestly.\nK:\nWell, what does he think he's entitled to.\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.O. 13526, Section 3.5\nPer Hr. 11- 20-2013\nBy RS Mill NARA, Date 4-22-2016\nNUN08-47/12366 [.1of3"
