Talking Points for Lunch
with Senator Fulbright

## Cambodia Ammunition

-- Explore with Fulbright the possibilities of finding a way out of our present problem on Cambodia ammunition without our having to authority to show down Defense stocks offer an up-down vote on the Senate Floor.

-- You should remind him that we have pledged to submit a supplementary to the Foreign Relations Committee to give them their opportunity to mold this policy, but we need some way to provide ammunition right away.

## MFN for the Soviet Union

-- You should ask Fulbright if he would talk with Albert to get Albert to help us on the show-down in the Rules Committee next week on Title IV.

## MASF for Vietnam

-- Without making any specific commitments for FY 75, you should indicate to Fulbright that we would very much appreciate having one more year to transition into MAP for Vietnam. In any case, we intend fully to consult with Fulbright on the implementation of our assistance whether it is in the Defense Budget or the AID Budget.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION WITH SENATOR FULBRIGHT

1. Frequent invitations to Senator Fulbright and to the members of the Committee to working luncheons with significant foreign visitors and policy discussions with his principal officers and assistant secretaries.

2. Intend to be in close touch with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff--particularly Carl Marcy.

3. In addition to normal contacts, I hope to be able to be in touch with you--and hope you will call me--when it appears that a difficult issue is arising between us.

4. We will want to keep the Committee informed of the progress of negotiations such as MBFR, SALT and the Year of Europe. How do you suggest we can best do this?

5. What are your suggestions on ways we can improve relationships?
