About wilbur mills. Mills told me that by the end of this week, he thought he would have something in shape to come down and discuss with you that he could present in the way of a packet that could be of interest. I told him i had read some articles lately that were a little bit disturbing that indicated something that was happening on the medicare and, indeed that, well, you know better than to the attention to those stories, and i said, i agree with you, wilbur. I just wanted to be reassured and he said, you know you cannot Read Everything you want, and this bill ultimately it has to have the mills stamp on it, and i said well, the president s view is that whenever you want to talk to him, that door is just wide open. He is happy to see you, and he said you just tell him again, as i told you lately last week that just as soon as i am ready to sit down and be able to present think to him that i could spell out that would make some sense and that would represent what would be of intere

Instructions well get licked on that too. The only judgment i can make at this point is that mills will certainly try every device he can to get an agreement on a conference that would include king, reluctant as they might be because hed hate like hell to be on the house side of a conference where he and two republicans vote against two democrats to come out with a conference report. And geez, he starts ill speak some business right now. You talk to ill talk to you as soon as i get out of these independent businessmen. My thought would be that if we could get mills to agree that we would take it in confidence that would be fine. If not i would try to instruct the conferees. No, at the moment i share that view.
