What’s the origin of this paper? Who wrote it, Alex?
Larry Lynn (NSC staff) to Kissinger, 1 May 1969, giving some talking points to K for talking with news media (Joseph Alsop in particular). Sen. Fulbright and Gore had both recently spoken favorably about LOW and against ABM and talking points were meant to counter both positions.
