“Appreciate very much your giving me explanation contained in your 788 of May 29. Actually the statement to which you refer was [Page 995] deleted by me from the script day before broadcast was given but too late to have NBC release altered. Incidentally, there were other substantial deletions and alterations in the script before the broadcast was given, which have been forwarded to you by Carter. Best regards, Vincent.”
