Rud [Rutherford Poats] has redrafted it, so that it applies only to the visit to the Pope. You may want to suggest to the President that he discuss the problem of world hunger, in general & starvation in Uganda, in particular, with the Pope—& then report on this discussion to the press & TV afterward. I think it’s a good idea. You have to judge whether it’s still ‘too late.’ This has been cleared by all the relevant agencies in Washington. I believe it would be helpful—but substantively & to the President. HO.” (Ibid.)
