Nuclear Claims
you,
Following additional. discussions with several of
here
is one more try at a consensus paper on the
vexed question.
In particular, I have attempted to
respond to points raised last Friday by Ruth in ways
I hope adequately meet her concerns without proving
indigestible to others.
Even supposing that the main
memo flies
past us all,
the attachment,
on how we would
arrive at a figure to offer, will I think require
additional effort in which we would naturally look
to Bob to participate heavily.
I am off discussing Kwajalein land leases until
about December 18 and will be in telephone touch with
you all shortly thereafter to.see where we stand.
Meanwhile, however, if anybody wants to draw up written
comments,
those of course would be welcome. .
In particu-
lar, Ruth, if you decide that Interior still wishes
to dissent, it would be most helpful if you could
indicate the specific points on this draft at which you
would want options
to be presented,
language for the Interior options.
