MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. George Caper, SAVA
SUBJECT: The Dan Rather Broadcast
� 1. .Attached is a transcript of the Den Rather broadcast that.
Mr. Young from. the White House was so excited about on Saturday- (Note
that contrary to What he said, it happened on Friday, not Saturday.)
Note also that Rather did not say--as Young told us--that Kissinger's -
trip to Moscow was m9de because of the lack of success of the bombing
effort. What he said was that the prospect of a new offensive is what
caused Henry's junket.
2. It is interesting also that Rather takes off from Szulc s story,
which Young also did not mention. .
3. I -think I vill have to tell the Director about this little
passage at arms as soon as convenient for:him on Monday morning.
4. I believe Ed Proctor should also be at the meeting with the
Attachment.
