TELECON (Tape)
Director Helms
Brought in 3/22, page 2
K:
Yeah. Assuming that there is a fairly orderly withdrawal, but a
fairly rapid one, and assuming that what we know of the other side's losses
and interruptions in the totality of the supply system, if you assume the
consumptions and so forth. Do you think you can do that?
H:
Yeah, we can get something together, I'm sure.
K:
Now, can you do that for the President alone and not show it all over
town first?
I'm so
H:
then
You know,
terribly good at sending those things just to you
and/finding out what the distribution should be afterwards.
K:
No, listen, if everyone else in this town had kept his word as well as
you did at the beginning of this thing, my job would be a piece of cake.
H:
Well, Henry, I will get on to this, and we will send it down to you the
first thing Monday morning -- a couple of copies just for you.
K:
Good.
H:
Okay.
K:
Thank you.
H:
And I'm sorry I don't have this immediate appraisal, but you know I
just think that's terribly
XXXXXXXX unhelpful. I mean I'm no.
K.
Listen, there are a lot of guys in town who are eager to give immediate
appraisals that may not stand up. That's a tribute to you. After all, who the
hell knows at this momen t. In fact, who the hell even knows what's going on.
H:
That's right precisely.
Okay, sir.
K:
Right.
H:
Thank you.
