And these guys have breathing books and things like that.

They always have breathing books.

Well, I'm a little worried about the Vice President sitting over there.

The President here, it just doesn't lend itself to his knowing.

Well, what, the men?

The individual books are the books of the President.

Yeah, you know, that kind of thing where they'll say, Mr. President here.

And I don't have to see these guys, it seems to me.

Well, using the book's not your concern.

That's right.

Do you want an easel?

You don't want an easel?

Well, I'd have an easel anyhow, just that we've got it right here.

Just in case, but I don't think they've got it.

Okay.

Just in the event that they still need it.

Right.

See, it would seem to me that it might be well that on this occasion they have the Vice President sitting with the President, don't you think?

so that he gets the same perspective as the president, and then they can all, they have to get up and come over and point something to him, they can both say it.

What do you think?

Does the president ever get upset about that kind of a change?

I don't think he does, not for the police.

Well, that seems to me the most convenient way to do it.

Mm-hmm.

But then have Laird, maybe Chiefs can be over there and they can talk.

Then they'll have to hand something over.

Or they can talk from there and they can point it.

Make a point from there.

And then the present price.

See, the briefings for the present and the vice-president, Henry, layers, knows what it is, so he could put you on this side.

And then put all the cheats over there.

Maybe if they wanted to.

Yeah, I think it would solve the problem so everyone could see.

If the books is big enough, they could pull it like that, and then everyone would be able to see it.

I don't know.

Well, Bruce Lee Brooks.

I better call each of you right now.

Why don't I do that before we make the scene, right?

No, why?

Isn't it a great opportunity to get through a lot of discussion?

Now, each one has a presentation.

And that one necessarily results in discussion.

Well, let me find out how each one .

There certainly would be no objection.

That might be .

Yeah, that's why .

How much time do you have?

So I think that goes to say, you know, the only other question I can think of is the books.

The books are big enough to go.

You know, I've seen the results of that.

But it's the answer to get up and get next to the president.

How about you, Jim?

I don't care what the start is at, you see.

A little more.

The way I view it, I don't know.

And then the Chiefs, when Warren finishes his presentation, he'll get up and sit over there and eat breakfast.

And then the Air Force, they're going to do the same thing Friday.

But I think that's the best way to do that.

I suppose so, the books are that small.

I just hope that they're not going to make big financial decisions, you know.

They're going to be, you know, there's just not going to be all of them.

I just hope not.

The chief's all on this side over here.

The chairman on the president's left.

Kennedy here.

And then there'll be the president, vice president, Blair, Packard.

Four services over there.

Now they are supposed to have folks that they can hand over to the president and even follow them.

And if they don't, then I'll tell the chairman to split back and go down here and bring the guy in.

I'm going to line up the chiefs when they come in.

You're going to have to, they'll be going through a court and a military person will be in line in the following hall.

He's one of our guys.

I just thought that you were going to bring me into this.

Why don't you come in here?

What's going on?

You know him?

Yes.

You're very human.

I know him.

That's what I'm worried about.

What would just happen?

You know him.

Maybe you haven't met him.
