IiORa1'J`! FOR: Director of Cerr`ral Intelligence
1. I l ached today with Pentagon reporters Orr Kelly,
EVEi17f G STAR, and Charles W. Corddry, Jr., BALTIMORE SUN
(recently of UPI). Both are friendly toward us and potentially
useful.
2. Orr, who invited me, said his "ulterior motive" was
two-fold:
(a) To ask if he, Charles, and possibly one or two
of their associates might meet you for an off-the-record,
get-acquainted gab session, maybe an informal lunch.
3. 'Their plea: Since nnour_ce_^zen' of McNamara?s
resignation, their usual Pentagon sources are so skittish that
newm en feel useless and unwanted. CouLdntt we at least help
them get in focus?
4. I said I would relay their irritation to you; you
were busy as hell, but did like newsmen and enjoyed visiting
them and, I felt, if you could find a -time you would do so.,
As to background briefings in my office, I said as soon as they
let me know who all might attend., I would see if I could arrange
the 1 r ef.-n they wanted?
I would like to favor these two, if you agree.
Joseph C. Goodwin
Assistant to the Director
