MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR:
This memorandum contains a recommendation in paragraph !:
1. John I. Mattill, assistant to the director of public: relations,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Cambridge, telephone regarding
your speech in Chicago at the M.I.T. Mid American Conference pn 16 February.
2. Mr. Mattill requests that you turn over to him upon arrival copies
of your speech and he will take care of the press distributioi, etc., in
cooperation with Philip W. Creden, director of public relationlsi,of the
Edward Hines Lumber Company of Chicago. Mr. Mattill will try; to meet your
plane, but should he not make connections for any reason, wilt get in touch
with you as soon as possible after your arrival. It is estimated that
30 copies of your speech will satisfy the press, radio, and TV requirements.
3. He said there have been some "nibbles" regarding television
appearances, which would be brief. He also said that MIT people are having
an informal press conference at 5:15 on Friday, but so far itcovers only
NIT officials. He wanted to know, if the press should ask to see you, would
you be agreeable. I told Mr. Mattill that you would cooperate in every
possible way and would be guided by what Dr. Killian would want. I told
him that you are very cooperative and very reasonable in meeting requests
from the press and TV and that if a situation arose where Dr.Killian or
others were appearing and thought Mr. Dulles should appear, or if the press
and TV wanted a special few minutes with you, I felt sure that you would be
agreeable. Mr. Mattill points out that this is all exploratory since
there is no definite request and no definite TV set-up.
4. RECOMMENDATION: That you take 30 mimeographed copies of your
speech to Chicago and turn them over only to Mr. Mattill; that you cooperate
in any special TV or press re uest for a f w
