Mr. MaiLnusson's phone on 26 May 1970: conversation with 1..1r. John Brown at approximately 10:20 B: Guess we're back together again! M: Got more problems? B: Yes, don't know how much Watts told you. M: I didn't talk to Watts. Think he called Colonel White. B: Let MQ explain background. As a result of the Cambodia speech, we're getting relatively inundated with correspondence and normally all of - this is sent to the Department of State for answering. What we're doing -- we're continuing to send all cons correspondence to State. _ _ _ _ However, the President made determination he'd like to answer support over his signature here and we asked the Department of State to support us on this effort. They're in a position where they can provide only limited support at this time. They're committed for $10,000 which area would probably handle in the ea of maybe 6o,000 responses. M: How many responses altogether counting pros and cons? B: The cons are quite a large group that they're handling themselves also. M: Are they going to be handling pros too? B: S1O,000 is for pros. They're doing cons. On pros they can pick up only b, 000 6Ft1YW�mate it will be around 0,2po Der 50,000 _and it looks like at present time we've got over 100,000 responses in and it could go upwards of 150,000 or greater. Looks like we'll need a minimum of another $1:0,0007-TaVET66I7�iararea of $15,0002 additional. This covers cost of pririETWET�Postage and addressing. M: Just printing, postage and addressing? Not any overtime for any salaries or anything like that? B: No, the posting of the things we'll do ourselves -- by hand. No problem. We're talking about physical costs of job -- cost of stamps, cost of envelopes and cards, and cost of having them addressed by outside firm. We'll handle putting stamp on, inserting, and sealing and mailing. Only talking about cost associated with three aspects of the operation. M: Postage, addressing and printing. B: Yes, reason I asked NS # to see if they could arrange -- depending on how volume goes -- probably another $10,000 to $15,000. M: These are just pros? State is handling all cons themselves?

Magnusson and Brown (continued -- Page 2) B: Yes, this is just portion of pros we're talking about. My understanding get in touch with you to work out mechanics of how we would handle the billing to make sure it's straight and we do it properly so it fits in with your accounting system. M: This is only portion of pros. State doing some too? B: Thsy're clantributing_$10,000 to the pros as well as doing all_thons. They're picking up quite a loarl as a result of this. One hell of a lot of response coming in on this. M: Bound to be. Tell you, John, let me give you a call back later today if I may. Have to take a look about where I would fit this stuff in. Are you going to be in this afternoon? B: I'll be around. If I'm not in my office I'll get back to you as soon as I come back. M: I'll give you a call then. B: Can't be real definite -- not sure how we're going to peak out. Not sure what backlog is. I'll check into that so when we talk this afternoon I can be little more definite. Probably run into that area, I think. M: Okay, I'll get back in touch with you. B: Okay, thank you, Warren.

White at 15:40 on 26 May 1970: M: I talked with John Brown today and it seems like -- as you mentioned -- as a result of Caithodia, inquiries going into White House. The State Department is doing all the work on the cons -- there are pros and cons. The State Department is going to answer all the cons and the President has determined that he wants to answer personally all the pros. However, the State has agreed to pick up some of those too in the amount of $10,000. That will cover maybe 60,000 of the answers. They estimate there's going to be from 100,000 to 150,000 answers that will have to be put out by the White House. Estimate it's going to cost about Mow per 50,000. Think it might go to 150,000. $10,000 to $15,000 additional which the White House will have to pay for. The charges are only going to be for printing, postage and addressing by an outside firm. No salaries for overtime or anything like that. They're going to lick the stamps in the White House, paste the stamps on and insert the message into the envelopes. John Brown said he had requested NSC to see if they could arrange, presumably with us, I guess, for another $10,000 to $15,000 depending on volume. He was talking as more or less foregone conclusion we would do it. I made no commitment. Told him I'd look into it. W: How would we do this? M: We would do it by asking them to pay amount and then send over 1080 to us with bill for the postage, bill for the addressing of the envelopes and bill for the printing accompanying this and we would just send check back. They would send short memorandum with it certifying these are the charges. W: I think we want to know what we spend our money for but I don't think we want the public records to show that we paid for it. M: What we can do, Sir -- I can ask them to send over a 1080 with certifica- tion that these are the charges for classified services per our conversation, and if you're willing to take that we can certainly do it that way. W: Will this be an outside firm? Couldn't we just pay the firm? What would be better? I'm not sure. M: I think a short memo just saying attached 1080 is for charges previously agreed to between this Agency and themselves and that's all and then we send them check for that. Otherwise, there's always chance that an outside firm might realize it was us paying for it. W: I guess it's the best way to do it. I'd like to have in our records -- nobody else has access to -- exactly what it was for -- all about it; their records, which are audited by the General Accounting Office, as little as possible.

White (continued - Page 2) M: Think I can talk to them and arrange that so he just sends unclassified 1080. W:- Go ahead and do it. I'll have to sign off on it, I suppose. You go ahead and arrange it in way that will give us full record. As far as any records of their's are concerned, I would prefer to have minimum. M: I can write memo and John Brown can refer to this and our phone conversa- tion in ameMo accompanying the 1080. W: Okay, go ahead and do it. Put limit on it. When they talked to me they said $10,000. M: He said $10,000 to $ 5,000 because they're just pouring in. Might run above $10,000. W: Approximately $10,000 but in no case will it exceed $15,000 -- something like that. Okay. M: All right, Sir. W: Thank you, Warren.

Have to be Careful as to way this is documented -- that's the only thing. Would like to suggest that I write memo for the record -- kind of co-sign it -- agreeing to amount and so forth and the way we do this. Memo would have in it what it for and then you would send us a 1080 for this, referencing this memo and our conversation. B: You're thinking in terms of reimbursing us Again? Wouldn't it be better for us to have direct charge to you? M: No, because of public record. In Order to have all the things in our hands. It wouldn't look good for us to pay the bills direct for this sort of thing. B: It would not? M: No, if you people pay the bills B: (interrupting) Even to pay a large postage fee? Bulk of expense will be postage. M: But we have to document what it's for - if you people can just pay it, ' then we'll give you money for it. B: What would our memo say? M: Say attached is 1080 referencing memo dated such and such. B: What does the memo say -- that we're making reference to? M: I'll write that up and bring over to you. B: What, basically, are we going to say it's about? M: Have $10,000 with limit of $15,000 and would be for printing of these things and so on. B: Just wondering if you have direct billing it seems to me that serves purpose of memorandum. M: The direct billing from, let's say, the printer, the addressograph company or something like that, to us might raise questions outside and I think powers that be don't want to have fact that we're paying for this sort of thing anyplace where it can be dug up. Easiest and cleanest way to do this is you people go ahead and pay and we'll reimburse you immediately. B: Do we have to have this memo?

B: Wouldn't it be adequate to send 1080? M: Don't forget, you people keep copies of 1080's -- you have to by law. 1080 would have to cite what billing is for because of that, then that would open up to GAO Or somebody else as to who's paying for this sort of thing. B: We have to cite what it's for? M: Let's say it's "XYZ Printing Company" and you pay bill. This looks like you're paying it. You send us 1080 which says nothing and we give you money for this. We ourselves have to have on our records what we're paying for for our own auditors which doesn't get outside of our Agency. B: It's for your internal auditors? it would not get outside? Okay, that sounds all right. M: I'll draw the memo up and bring it over there and you can see it. B: That sounds good, Warren. M: Would next Monday be all right with that memo? B: Yes, we'll go ahead and order. M: You can get going and so on. B: Don't know what final cost is going to be. Hate to restrict ourselves. We figure total cost is going to be around $25,000. Got over 100,000 already that are just pro. 200,000 that haven't been analyzed yet. Of 200,000 they estimate possibly upwards of 50,000 or 60,1000 could pertain to Cambodia. Of the backlog of 200,000, 60,000 could be of type that will be answered in this mailing. Our best estimate would be it may run over. M: I've got instructions, John, to indicate in memo that it's for approximately $10,000 but not to exceed $15,000. If and when it exceeds $15,000, we'll start over again and I'll inquire further as to whether we can cover the other -- okay? B: Okay. M: Open to negotiation if it runs higher.

If 60,000 letters come out being pro, win take . us to $26,000 or somewhere in that vicinity. M: Then I'd have to go back and inquire to see if powers that be will cover the other part. I think it's best to wait 'til that happens. B: Okay, good enough. M: What time Monday? B: Why don't you give us call here Monday? My secretary will line it up. M: Okay. B: Thank you, Warren.

The memorandum will also transmit a Standard Form 1081 and copies of the vendors' invoices where applicable. 3.

On 18 August 1970, the undersigned received a telephone call from Mr. John Brown (1)-i5-2167) advising that the mailing had been heavier than anticipated (increased to 250,000 pieces) and that the dollar requirement for subject purpose had increased from $15,000 to $25,000. 2. I apologetically advised Mr. Brown that since our records showed that prior approval was limited to $15,000 I would have to acivise and confirm with my superiors that the increase to $25,000 was acceptable, as I was sure it was. 3. In the absence of Col. White (on leave), Mr. Bush immediately contacted Mr. Clarke, , who was not in his office.
