Called Mr. Jac? Stempler, Assistant

f he so wished, although I realized the trip was
primarily a DOD matter. Stempler said this was entirely agreeable.
I called Stan Kimmitt, Secretary to the Senate Majority, who is also
accompanying Senator Stennis and making some of the arrangements, to tell
him of the foregoing. Kimmitt suggested I contact the Senator's office in
order to arrange a meeting with him.
