Mr. Chairman, I'm going off tonight to the Middle East, and I know the story about Admiral Moorer allegedly spying on me is going to hit the newspapers tomorrow. S: Yes? K: I just wanted you to know the was handled by Ehrlichman except comments which were made to me. It's xxxbxx an absurd charge because Admiral Moorer was a close collaborator of mine. It was this yeoman who was leaking documents, as it turned out, to the news- papers. I have complete confidence in the Chairman. I have no independent knowledge of the allegations. On the face of it, they seem absurd to me. S: I'm certainly glad that you called me - for you to tell me so directly. I'm glad to know it. Iimagine they'll be calling me or Mr. Hebert. K: I think the Chairman deserves your support, Mr. Chairman. They've attacked SO many institutions that I don't know what's going to happen. S: I don't either. Just between us. I might - I don't like - I might just announce rather early that I was going to go into it, take jurisdiction of it. Otherwise some other Committee might. K: I'm speaking personally. S: I want you to K: On a personal basis, I think that would be a statesmanlike thing to do. I would rather for your committee than some of these that XX are out for publicity. You know the military. You understand what various things mean. In Executive Session I would be delighted to tell you everything I know, which isn't a great deal. Just for your information, handled some of the most sensitive things for us - on the China thing, for instance. Why he would want to steal documents is beyond my comprehension. S: And it's contrary to the pattern of the man. K: It's contrary to the pattern of the man.
