Jack:
Secretary Gates was out of town and the Director never did talk to
him on the attached matter. He handed it back to me and asked me to
see what General Cabell thought about it. I talked to the General and
his view was that we should just file and forget unless the question
is raised again. General Cabell said we were clearly on record with
General Erskine as not desiring to participate in this particular
briefing so, unless the Director does wish to go further and talk to
Secretary Gates as a matter of courtesy, no further action is required.
