258. Memorandum from Kaysen to Gen. Taylor, January 23¹

January 23, 1962

SUBJECT

• Ltr to SecDef 1/22/62 (S)

The President sent your memorandum to the Secretary and also called him. Judging from my side of the conversation, the Secretary has shown no great increase in his receptivity to this idea. The President indicated he would like McNamara to talk to you and Bell. I am sending a copy of your memorandum to Bell.
