27 January 1982
Dear John,
First of all, let me congratulate you and extend my
best wishes on your having turned octagenarian. This is
a lot better than being a unitarian, a vegetarian and a
whole host of like titles.
Scoop Jackson had a luncheon at his home on Sunday
for a number of people from Seattle who had travelled
6,000 miles to attend the Alfalfa dinner, including wives
who were not allowed in the room With the Alfalfans. At
the dinner, Sam Nunn turned out to be a rival of the new
Al Haig whose one liners at recent public appearances
indicate an ambition to take over Bob Hope's role in life.
Walt Elder gave me a rundown on your talk with Scoop
over the holiday and I found myself in general agreement
with what he had to say.
Now that the Congress is back I have before me a
world-wide intelligence update for the two military and
foreign relations committees, and then I have special
activity updates for the two intelligence oversight com-
mittees and testimony before the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence on the Wilson-Terpil affair.
That experience goes back into the mid-seventies but there
is great interest in where it indicates that there should
be some tightening..
Looking forward to seeing you. Best regards.
