Source: Johnson Library, National Security File, Name File, Bator Memos [2 of 2], Box 1. No classification marking. Drafted on September 24 by Edward K. Hamilton. An attached note from Francis Bator to the President’s Special Counsel, Harry C. McPherson, Jr., dated September 24, reads: “Harry: Attached is Ed Hamilton’s good summary of Tuesday’s wool meeting. Somebody will eventually have to get it across to the industry that the President’s commitment is conditional—that they cannot expect him to do all sorts of costly things trying to help them unless help is clearly needed. I suspect that the joint fact-finding operation will bog down, forcing another Cabinet Committee confrontation. If by then the Congress is out of town, the time will be ripe for bringing Connor into line and plotting an Administration strategy which will provide the President with room for maneuver.” Also attached is a note from Bator to McGeorge Bundy, dated September 27, transmitting the minutes of the meeting.
