I gather Dick Bissell mentioned this at the morning meeting. Certainly he indicated full agreement with. my proposal to offer the Kild group a detailed briefing on some of our sensitive and more significant projects. think this is most important in developing a proper atmosphere in which to face up to the problem of a joint committee in the next Congress.
