Mr. Magnusson's phone conversation with Mr. John Brown at approximately 17:00
on 26 Nay 1970:
M: Think we can go shead and do this. Have to be careful as to way this
. © is documented -- that's the only thing. Would like to suggest that IT
write memo for the record -- kind of co-sign it -- agreeing to amount
and so forth and the way we do this. Nemo would have in it what it's
for and then you would send us a 1080 for this, referencing this memo
and our conversation.
B: You're thinking in terms of reiwbursing us again? Wouldn't it be
better for us to have direct charge to you?
M: No, because of public record. In order ‘to have all the things in our
hands. It wouldn't look good for us to pay the bills direct for this
sort of thing. .
B: It would not? . ’
M: No, if you people pay the bills ..... |
B: (interrupting) Even to pay a large postage fee? Bulk of expense will
. be postage. co . .
M: But we have to document what it's for -- if you people can just pay it,
* then we'll give you meney for it. :
B:  VWhat would our memo say? :
Me Say attached is 1080 referencing memo dated such and such.
B: "What does the memo say -- that we're making reference to? -
M: I'11 write that up and bring over to you. . ’ )
. B: What, basically, are we going to say it's about? . -
M: Have $10,000 with limit of $15,000 and would be for printing of these - .
things and so on. .
: B: Just wondering if you have direct billing it seems to me that serves
purpose of memorandum. ~ :
M: The direct billing from, let's say, the printer, the addressograph
. company or something like that, to us might raise questions outside :
and I think powers that be don't want to have fact that we're paying
- for this sort of thing anyplace where it can be dug up. Easiest and
cleanest way to do this is you people go ahead and pay and we'll :
reimburse you immediately. .
B: Do we have to have this memo? oo
