    "ocrText": "2. 1\nK: My personal judgment without having read the Young report\nYoung was on my staff and he did not inspire me\nS: Didn't what?\nK: He did not inspire me with confidence that what he did do would\nbe very serious or balanced. I would never have imagined he would be\ngiven a responsible assignment like investigating the military. As I\nhave said publicly, I don't know about his investigations. That doesn't\nchange the fact that he was doing it, or apparently, according to\nKrogh, was developing some damaging information. I mean, here was\na kid who was not doing very well working for me, thrown into the\nErlichman atmosphere. He may just have tried to prove how good\nhe was.\nS: I don't know if we have to go through all of that. They can make\na nything appear to be true almost.\nThat's the trouble. There's nobody I would rather have investiage\nthis than you, Mr. Chairman.\nS: Well, if we don't take some, if we don't do something. What do\nyou think of this I would ask you and Admiral Moorer to each,\nseparately write me a letter undertaking to tell how you feel about\nthis matter, say anything you want to. It might just be that it\nwould settle it, or two, wemight be able to settle it by asking the\ntwo of you to come before the Committee and subject dyourselves to\nquestions.\nK: Yes, the only problem, Mr. Chairman, is that my own direct\nknowledge of this matter is extremely limited. It really is confined\nto listening to 12-15 minutes of a taped interrogation of Admiral\nWellander. I would be glad to say that and what I know.\nS: I am thinking of the\nof your saying you have no grievance, what\nyou just said to me.\nK: I would be happy to do that, Mr. Chairman.\nS: It might just be that our Committee would be convinced that you\nand Moorer worked together, had no grievance against one another\nO ficially or per sonally and he was getting information anyway, then\nSO far as you and Moorer were concerned it might satisfy the Committee\nalthough whether we should insist on the military proceeding with\nreference to the yeoman, etc."
