with him any of the deleted itcms and explain the nature of

the content and the reason for its deletion.

I told Mr.

Blakey

that since he was personally rovicwing the material, and the

same would hold true for Mr. Cornwell, I felt that I

could be

very candid in describing the deleted

portions.

deletions.

After he had finished his reivew I repeated my

offer to discuss any portion of the material. He again thanked

me and said
