INSTRUCTIONS APPLY'
TH ' 1; YOU FOR HAX TO 55. THERE IS :'A MISUNDERSTANDING CAUaEO
BY AN ERROR IN NOTING TINE OF ROG::RS ; EET ING. I MEANT TO
SUGGEST THAT YOU NIGHT WISH TO GAVE LAIRD vJ'ITH RJG:RS AT 10:00
THE KRAEMER MEETING IS TOTALLY U:NRELA ED TO 'SOUTHEAST ASIA.
AS I POINTED OUT STEVE BULL ANU P iR 'KER MERELY GAVE US A TIME
FOR kRAEMER TO SEE THE PRESIDNT BASED ON AN ARTICLE 'WRITTEN
BY NICK THIM: ESCH WHICH DISCUaSE3 THE FAMILY AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIP TO YOU. THIS IS NOTHING lJ T A PERIPHERAL PRESIDENTIAL
SCHEDULE ITEM. I WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE jF IT UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN
I SAW A MEMO FROM PARKER ENCLOSING AAA k:, OPY OF THE THIi N'ZSCH .
ARTICLE AND STATING THAT THE PRESIDENT WISHED TO SEE KRAEi~1ER.
TODAY WE WERE GIVE THE 11:00 A.M. TINS AND I TOLD BULL YOU WOULD
ACCOMPANY KRAEMER INTO THE PRESIDENT.
THE QUESTION ABOUT THE LAIRD WEETING CAME FROM ADMIRAL MURPHY
WHO ST^,TED THAT SECRETARY LAIRD 'WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU BEFORE
? LEAVES FOR EUROPE ON WEDNESDAY. I INTENDED TO SUGGEST THAT
YOU MIGHT INCLUDE HIM IN THE 10:00 A. M. MEETING W ITH_ ROGERS NOT
THE 11:00 !A. M. WITH KRAAEN':R. I MADE 'T'HIS SUGGESTION BECAUSE A
LARGE PART OF THIS WEEK'S "?ORK 'o: AS DONE BY DEFENSE. THEY
PERFORMED IN SUPERIOR FASHION BOTH IN CRANKING UP AND WINDING
DOWN LOGISTICS MATTERS.
