Ok, det har bytt av sted.

Det har bytt av sted.

Det ser ut som om det er kvar.

Er det stående?

Ja, det er stående.

Amen.

Be around this evening if you'd like to give me a comment.

I will.

You do intend to go and do it?

Well, they were never set.

I see.

Let's reflect, sir, on your comments, plus some more.

Thank you, sir.

Hello?

Ja.

Wonder if you have any report on the weather?

Easy.

Easy, easy, easy.

Easy.

Well, that'll be for when we've got some problems at all.

But, uh...

Otherwise, no further reports.

It's night out right now.

Oh yeah, today, of course, it's stormy.

I love the, uh, ground that we've got.

It's a lot of stormy.

No, no projections, I'm sure.

They don't think it's going to break any time now.

You never know.

It starts to clear.

But it does.

All hell breaks loose for it every time you do it once.

You can't blame your lover.

Unless you've done everything right.

The main thing is that I want you to go forward and go on that high path and recruit me every time.

I agree, I agree, but if we're going to be stuck in there too long, we can't be stuck in the mud all the time.

... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Well, we can expect them to fly.

They may hit some spaces, but it's the equipment, not for them.

These are brave men.

They're willing to do anything.

And on the other hand, well, how about concentrating on the meat trio?

That's over, isn't it?

Could we, could we just draw more of two of the factories close in to give a massive stride to the D3 area for the next 24 hours?

Can you do that?

Can you power that, please?

And stop this for a second, please.

Fifty trees should be in the center.

Now, what about the fifty trees above?

But, I know, the 52s.

Tell me about the 52s.

Yeah, I know them.

They use the 52s the other place, too.

You give them authority to use it above the DMC, don't you?

All right.

Right.

And, uh, but they haven't talked to them yet.

Oh, yeah, they haven't.

That's the question.

Well...

They've got all the authority they need.

And, uh, more, I don't know, depends on that story.

They are.

Okay.

Just pray for the, pray for the goddamn, the weatherman.

Okay.

Boa!

Teksting av Nicolai Winther

Who can take charge of that sort of thing?

I have an idea.

No, no.

I'll just eat some of that.

I'll just try to think of what to do with it.

What do you guys think about it?

There's a party going on.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

... ... ... ... ...

Ha ha ha!

... ... ... ... ...

Well, the naval shells, in a sense, but are they hitting it far enough north?

What areas were they hitting?

They were north of Don Hoi, sir.

The naval shells?

The naval shells, and they were bombing the area of Don Hoi.

What did they do?

Earlier we were thinking that the initial strikes were more of the same size.

One hit in other ways, but it was such many ways.

Right.

I want to be able to do strikes in that area.

Is that clear?

Yes.

They're stuck around starting to be 52.

Anywhere up in that belt, you just assume as you get the sands, the sands compress.

I thought maybe I was supposed to have done extra money, but even two have not yet been able to, because they haven't had a chance to go out to the sands.

We have got to get B-52s into that area, because that's the most significant thing that we can do in terms of dropping something like a high bomb and the rest of the B-52 over there.

That's what I meant.

One thing that John told me this morning, three things that...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

And you will go out for what purpose now?

Will you be in charge of the Air Force?

I'll take over the 7th Air Force, and I'll be General Andrews' air deputy.

All right.

Now, the thing that I want to tell you is this, is that, you know, I hope you clearly understand, the performance of the Air Force out there has not been enough in my view, actually.

The reason it's not been adequate is not because of the very, very different people.

And I know there's a great number of those guys in the U.S. because they're so damn brave.

But the reason it's not been adequate is it's been routine, it's been by the numbers, there's been no maintenance, and so forth.

Now, this is probably the last time that Air Force is going to have a top-end plane.

It will very well be.

The story is made right then.

If the Air Force, at this point, doesn't do an adequate job at this time, and screws it up as it screwed up in before, because of lack of imagination, lack of what it does to take risks, it is going to be a very nice case which invents the history of a very fine outfit, involving many, a lot of many fine men.

The thing I really want from you is to kick everybody in the ass out there, and to say, I don't care.

We're not looking for safe targets.

We're not looking for, you know, let's go out, you know, drop the load of the secondary target out in the blue docks, in the mountains, or something like that.

But we have got to go in here and win this operation.

It cannot be won without taking some risks.

It's got to be done.

Now, in that connection,

For example, the weather has been bad for the last week.

I could not understand why, as I see now with the step-up in the E3 area, we didn't have a massive strike.

I know you had to deal with a huge amount of meltdowns in the E3 area, but nothing that gave me the hell of a joke.

What I'm getting at is this, quickly.

that the whole operation out there, and there are a variety of reasons, but I understand why.

They realize it's going to be something that they're planning for, and so forth and so on.

But I try to back up the military in everything they've done, everything from Sanfei to...

Cambodia, to Laos, to the riots, and everything else.

And now, the main point is that people will be back totally if you do something now, but there is not going to be any, there are not going to be any, there will be plenty of medals, but there will be no day of glory for failing out there.

The meadows is the part people are in this for.

We have got to get the aircraft.

I want you to get the Navy commanders in.

I want you to get the Air Force in there, the Naval Air and all the rest.

And don't listen to those old bachelors out there, or the young bachelors.

They just want to do it for the numbers.

Let's get some imaginations, some drives, some risk-taking answers.

The day after you get there, the day after you get there,

Now, I'm going to watch it every morning and every night, and if we see that same routine stuff coming in here, I'll put you to bed and jump.

And we've really got to do this now.

This thing is, oh, I've heard all the arguments.

I've talked to more and more of them.

I've written things that we haven't done everything for.

Including the mess on the mobs.

And that's what the job of the top commander is.

But it's not your job.

If you're going out there in the rescue operation, that's what you're going for.

If you go out there, I want you to know that you'll be backed in the hilt.

You'll have to take some casualties, I know that.

Some guys are going to have to take some runs and things.

For me, they have already suppressed the sands.

But the main thing is to win it.

And this, we cannot afford to lose this.

Now, for example, we've got plans ready for operation around Hyde Park.

This is well worked out.

Now, for example, in this area now, now that the window opens, what are we suppressing sand?

So that going in today is 200...

187.

Actually, yesterday they made a massive strike.

They had to equip a few orders to the D3 area.

They had about 25 D52s and D23s.

That'll be 9 D52s we have out there.

We shorted out 51 soldiers, but the other 20 are in now.

And kept some away.

So what's today?

22 with the D3 area.

They're going to have 42 in this.

In this combat area today, something like this, that just passed us, and we came out with gold.

They were hit, yeah.

Yeah, they were hit by 20 yesterday.

Right, but the bombers had not beaten the Jews in a hurry, because they had never been made.

No, they had not.

They should have beaten the Jews now.

No, no, there were 20 people who struck south of the DNC in the combat zone.

They're bombing with a sky spy system.

It's a radar control system.

The man on the ground tells us the target he wants to hit.

This is from the ground radar station, which controls the bombers right from the base point.

That's what's going on.

I think the bombers are out there.

So all we have over supplies is weather.

The problem, sir, has been the SAMs.

I mean, we have to have these escort aeroplanes, either the SAMs pressing aeroplanes with their anti-air radiation missiles or something, or the F-105s, Iron Man and so on.

They have to have adequate sealers operating there to protect the bombers.

When the sand signal comes on, they fire these missiles at them.

That suppresses them.

Now, the problem has been the last few days, the weather has been so bad that we can't operate those bombs, those anti-radiation missiles in that area.

But it improved quite drastically yesterday.

It went to scattered conditions, and we doubled the surrogacy in the first six weeks.

It looks like it's considered an all-nighter.

It should be good from about 10 in the morning Saigon time right out to about 7.30 in the evening.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

They are moving in that position, that's what I read on this morning.

They are moving the big guns.

They are moving some 130mm guns south and west of the palm trees.

I think they are wanting to take that highway and perhaps bring it under fire.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Well, the main thing is this.

You know, I'm totally familiar with the rules.

Man is God and all that sort of thing.

I can't call it that.

We will be cautious.

We will be not amazed.

Now the thing about you is that you have guts throughout this time.

I know what you've done.

I know that you've been behind a lot of this.

It's not that tight.

But you did the right thing.

Now, you, I think, are the best officers we can send out there, who you feel like.

But believe me, I want you to go out there and tell all of us what you thought, and let me know where you can't leave out April.

He was a splendid man, a magnificent driver through the war.

He's got a body record in Vietnam.

He was loved by his soldiers.

He's been here too long.

He's tired.

He's unimaginable.

He's off from Taiwan, Armenia, Bangkok.

Things start happening.

So these things I understand.

Respect him.

Remember that he's the commander in the rest.

I want to hear from you.

You understand?

I want you to know that what is going to determine this is not what Abrams decides.

Because he's got to take the risk at this point.

That's what you decide.

And I want you to get the name and the Air Force, the young folks and the rest of them, and say, all right, fellas, let us read some of this, and maybe get some ideas out.

Let me tell you, I mean, in North Vietnam, I don't mean to just resume what they did in the Johnson administration.

We've got something new that has sparkle and interest, and we'll do it.

But we've got to have recommendations, we've got to have some ideas to sort things out from it.

What about him?

Yeah, not the usual thing.

Well, we'll have 400 sorties.

We've got that much of a sortie.

What the hell with that?

Put the 400 in one place so that at least you get something knocked out.

Could you try that a few times?

You remember, generally, you break military history far more than I have.

Yeah.

Well, it's true.

I suppose Napoleon was the best man to use artillery and modern warfare.

It's the only way that he was able to beat a high security forces.

He had not only had mobility, but the fracture artillery was damn good.

I mean, that amount of use of it.

You also know that World War II, World War I particularly, was an absolutely horrible ground war.

I know this is very different from any World War II, but the primary canon for it is to concentrate on the artillery bombardment, and try to bust through a certain area, and then go through, rather than just spreading it all out.

He who concentrates his forces wins the battle.

He who spreads his forces out gets the hell kicked out.

And here we've got two.

He's got more men than they've got.

He's got them spread all over the hell.

But he has an air force.

The only thing we've got going for us is the air force.

The air force has got to not play in the routine way of...

Scattering our coupons all over the place.

We've got to come up with some ideas.

We've joked these guys very, very hard.

And you may be satisfied with the way this is going.

I'm not.

As I see it, I don't see it.

I'm not imagining it.

We've got enough power.

We've got any more you need.

We've got any more.

If you do this out there, you don't have any airfields for it, man.

You do have a parking lot.

But what do you have?

What do you have?

Don't.

Not out there.

You've got four carriers, or will have.

Will that carrier get there in the next three months?

No, are they going to get there or not?

No, it will be on stage.

It will be on stage in the first six months.

That makes four.

Is that correct?

No.

Where is it?

Get it out there.

All right, let's get the fifth one over.

So you can just know that we've got everybody around here with a great deal of confidence in you.

But we really want you to run and argue with Abrams and

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I believe that, sir.

You get a settlement out of this at this point.

You saw your friend Kennedy was reaching out this morning.

Did you see what he said or did he say something?

Well, he puts the, says that the whole reason all this happened is because we broke off the negotiations in Paris, the place you settled this war in, and then we came back to Margaret and told her that we know we've eliminated the chances of retaliation, we've eliminated the chance of retaliation.

Yeah, yeah, but we have to do it, you know, the main thing is that...

You're the guy, right?

You're the guy we're counting on.

Not just, and let me say, not just for this, but for the whole thing out there.

Just, if you could take it straight from the horse's mouth, you could tell them how I feel about it.

I feel very strongly about this.

I get it.

Nice to talk to you.

Okay.

All right.

Al, we're in the process of coming up with a reorganization.

It would be very useful for me if we could expedite that.

They had planned in May to eliminate one of the Army four-starters and make the Air Force, 70th Air Force Commander Peter Chukudevich, instead of just as Air Dev.

Yeah.

This would be extremely helpful to do that.

Work it out.

Because right now is the moment.

The point is, the reason it should be worked out is not the personality, the reason it should be worked out is all the goddamn thing is about now is air.

Right, Henry?

This change being made now is the time to do it.

What is your, one thing before you leave, what is your analysis of all the stories that we heard this morning?

They're claiming that there's a move from the thousands.

Our judgment is that this is a diversionary move designed to tie down the reserves.

They have moved in some additional measurements, and it is somewhat worrisome.

But they don't have the artillery down there.

They don't have the tanks.

And they should not have the supplies for a better sustained operation.

So...

Isn't that true, Judge?

But it's about to scare Q off.

I think Q has behaved rather calmly.

The three divisions he's got there can't be moved anyway, because he moved up most of his strategic reserve into first and second floor.

He's got a small strategic reserve left in the Saigon area, and I think I should keep it there.

But what about the concern that a big battle is going to come?

I like what you're saying, that they're going to have a fight in three quarters.

A big battle is going to come in three quarters.

There may be a battle in three quarters.

But the logistic system is oriented towards first and second.

At this point.

Not free for, I meant to say, the B3 front.

The B3 front.

Well, at the B3 front, we have the situation, Professor, that it partly, as a result of those massive strikes, it is just possible that they will never get it all.

But you have one more person to get out there.

Just one more massive strike to the B3.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

It's back to operations that are getting shorter and getting shorter and shorter.

So it may be, maybe they'll get off and attack, but on the basis of...

Listen, my point is this.

If the normality of the means, and we're all counting the means that are given, are able to launch an attack on all these fronts, they've got a hell of a lot more to be able to realize than the rest of the world.

I don't believe they can.

I think we just got to assume that.

I think Kissel has got to recognize that he's got to take the risk.

This has to be his last guess.

I just don't see...

If you say 1,000, then we counted 330 this week.

If you take me from it, one sector alone, people actually counted, we picked up 180 weapons, which is a pretty good indication.

That's like 10,000 Americans actually.

I know.

And they've been taking that out year after year.

I know that.

If we had tried, though, another place to give them one big job, you see, the concentration department, you understand, got that concentrated someplace.

We find places to do it.

Our...

We may not be able to wait that long on that track.

I'm just feeling the psychological work, too.

And I'd like to make the point that we may not be able to wait.

The thing is that there's got to be some feeling.

There's got to be some feeling on the part of the...

... ... ... ... ... ...

That will be a signal.

That will be a hell of a shot across the bottom.

See my point?

I have just one point.

If I don't beat them, I'm going to knock the shit out of them.

You know that?

We'll buy some targets, too, sure.

Fine.

Okay.

Good luck.

You'll do it.

We'll back you up.

I got that.

You tell those guys you're going to lose.

About what he just said.

You should have seen the general, Mr. President, when he was assuming that out of the peace, because he's presented not very clear.

Look, there's so much writing on this, the whole future of American foreign policy, and I want that to...

I got the feeling today that, Henry, I just told Bob, I didn't know when we were talking to Bill, I said, but...

There's some ways some of our people are backing off this thing for fear it will affect our presence, you know, too much, too risky and so forth and so on.

Now that kind of a line is not to be put out, goddammit.

It should be put out just the other way.

Who's putting out that line?

Okay.

That's great.

Wow.

You guys got any balls at all on that again?

So, I kind of see it.

I kind of see the whole future of the...

They're trying to get more of what they've done.

The Air Force.

They said, what do you call us?

We went all these goddamn metals, but if you look at this floor, I'm sure you wouldn't do anything about it.

It was just, you know, we get a great link to it when that happens.

It's maybe the last battle the Air Force ever done.

That's right.

Probably will be.

Next one will be like that.

We need more battles like this.

I mean, if you have a war someplace, maybe, I doubt it, some little country, maybe they'll attack Cuba or maybe Argentina.

Jesus Christ.

I just don't think so.

I have a strong feeling about it.

It's all over now.

These guys don't realize it.

It's sad.

It's like the old admirals all cried when they lost their battleships.

They're gone now.

War has changed.

And maybe it's gone.

But Jesus Christ did it.

He's smart enough that he, I'm sure, registers all that.

He can go out and use what we've got this morning.

I was saying, that would be a hell of a thing for a three-star to go out and deal with that, with that kind of a charge from the commander-in-chief.

I've wanted to do this since then.

He's got a guy volunteering for the assignment because he knows it's fucked up out there.

He knows it's fucked up.

That's why he volunteered.

He volunteered?

Yes.

Then he came to Henry and said, I'll give up my fourth star.

He's supposed to move this new assignment.

He said, I'll give up my fourth star.

He'll let me go out to Vietnam.

He saw what they were doing wrong.

The guy, instead of worrying about his own badass and the bad guys, is interested in getting out and trying to win the goddamn war.

And then you get in the way you did.

He knows he's got backing.

He knows, he told it pretty clearly, that he's not to listen to his commander.

He doesn't know how to pull this off.

He doesn't know how to land it.

I don't give a shit if you're going to jump.

I'm not going to park around with all this.

Abrams is through.

I'm not going to put Abrams up in that.

That fucking layer isn't going to get his way at once.

He pulls this off.

He's got a movement.

He's turned to jump.

Jesus Christ.

Yes, sir.

That's what he's also got the brains to do.

I've also got to eat a little German cheese, because I'm not satisfied with the way the German cheese thing is done.

Well, compare him, for example, with much as I love with Cushman.

Cushman is a fine do-it-for-the-book officer, but he has as much imagination without that cup of coffee.

Are you a commander?

Unfair?

I don't know if I was a battle commander.

That's true.

Battle wars are on a personal basis a splendid battle command.

I would guess a fisherman would be a hell of a guy if they had a...

It's a splendid battle command.

Good God, he's made the cross, purple, whatever, he's a commander.

How many battle commanders do you know that were a great strategic commander?

About ten or two.

And I can't mention about that many.

No, you have to re-ask about many or so many things.

He's loyal, he'll do it, he's bold.

I like that.

This guy, he's not made it.

You're a preacher, and you should have one and only guy after him.

Why won't you?

Oh, I like his voice.

He was taking his neck out.

But he also ran out of a certain ring, that piece of pipe thing.

Well, that's a stupid thing to do, but that's too bad.

He was making a point, you know, that he was fighting.

Well, I appreciated his fight.

But all the other briefings, you know, he overlooked all the others.

He didn't just superimpose the briefings.

He only wanted to do it.

And Cambodia, all the ministers, the governors, and all that crap.

And all that stuff going on.

... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

If it's in answer to an aggression, an invasion from the north, don't you agree?

As you know, yeah.

They've got to continue to hit this, though.

The property tax manager raised this morning is relevant, mainly in terms of what we do.

We lay a nice thing out there and then drop it.

The only thing that we can get away with in that kind of tactic is the China crime.

The reasons that are so fundamental that all of us understand.

Because it hasn't been affecting the public consciousness.

And I always identify with that.

So we need to be hammering that too.

I know, but I'm not telling the doctors.

We need to hammer the visuals on that.

I told them, I told Rogers, that if we're able to get ABC in time, then we're going to have to do what we need to do.

I will do it, I know what to do.

Let me tell you, anything that will help that program, I will really know what I need.

Build it up, it's a very good thing to do.

Build it up, it's a good way, it's the visual chance for me, and that's what you need.

After that, for weeks, I said, God damn it, there's no tools out there.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I knew Ray was the wrong one for the editor, but he put him in.

You know, we wondered, you know, if he was going to be able to do it, if he was going to be able to do it, if he was going to be able to do it, if he was going to be able to do it, if he was going to be able to do it, if he was going to be able to do it,

... ... ... ... ... ...

Very nice.

And if you can get it to a way of worrying about moving the case, a president doesn't have to move the case.

All the institutions make the law.

That's what it's busting.

I know that I cut out a lot of stuff.

I know.

But I had to give it to us.

A few emotional points.

He got criticized by the press for it.

What the hell was he saying?

Like Tex McCreary came up with a thing to me that you guys fire people to properly do that.

He said, I will guarantee you that you people don't do this, because I can tell by looking at you.

And it's a simple, basic government that you should do everything you do, every public thing you do.

And it's a discipline that if you put yourself to it, you will solve about 80% of your problems.

Sit down and write in the headline that you want to come out of it.

of whatever it is you're doing.

And then, take a sketch and draw the picture that you want to go with that headline.

And forget about the rest of the story.

And force yourself.

Like right now, we're going over to Philadelphia.

What's the headline we want out of that?

And what's the picture we want out of it?

I don't know.

I do know.

Maybe not the general press headline, but the headline we want out of it is Nixon facts.

And the picture you want out of it is Nixon and Cardinal Crow shaking hands with Frank Rizzo standing in the background smiling.

or something like that, with the cars and the roads.

But, I mean, it's that.

Okay.

His point is, before you even decide to do an event, before anybody sits down to write the speech, or decide whether you enter from the back of the hall or the front, or whether the van plays head of the chief, or anything else, or whether you drive or helicopter, sit down and write the headline and draw a picture, and then plan everything.

You list that headline and that picture, and don't worry about anything else.

Now that's the same discipline that Scali's talking about, which is a little old-fashioned looking at it, but he's right.

And that translates to theory, when McCurry's taking almost exclusively the TV and the print.

Scali must always say, can you take the 30 seconds?

Scali's point is, write the 30-second story and show the 30 seconds of film.

In the term of war, there is a second film that we want.

Who the hell does that?

Christ never thinks that.

Never.

But we are getting our revenge.

God is doing that.

Shaper, partner.

The cigarette?

That is doing very good.

That's right.

Now we've got to move that thinking over here.

And I'm going to start doing it by refusing now to accept anything until the headline in the picture shows it.

Or the 30-second script and the 30-second, you know, storyboard.

Right.

We'll stage the event around that.

If we start doing that, I think we can make that hell of a lot more effective.

You know something?

Just looking at Kennedy's stuff, I think he does it every time.

There's no question.

Kennedy's stuff always gets the mark.

Now he's vicious, but he hits the mark.

And it's really, to me, an equal presumption to say that one of the reasons is...

It was done better when I was doing my stuff alone.

You do it automatically.

One of the reasons it was done better was that I always thought in those terms, like, look, in 66 I traveled this goddamn country alone.

I'm sure you can write something, this and that.

But I, when I would determine what the hell I was going to do, then I'd admit something.

I would thank them and thank them in my heart.

You know, the TV.

Now that's first politician.

I'm too busy now.

I should be thinking like I am here with a vote.

I really have to do that.

And these guys ought to come in to me and say, here's an idea.

But we've got a cast of 100 people around here trying to be looking at us only that way.

That's what the Justice Council should do.

100% help to making that work.

You don't need any more thinking.

You push Erlich and his crowd over that.

Watch Erlich.

You walk into Erlich and talk to Christ's crowd.

And just get the people and say, you know, we've got to do it.

And they rumble around about presidential arrests for a while.

That's right.

It's presidential.

Look, we're going to be accused of demagoguery, or dullness, or something, one way or the other.

In other words, if something goes over, they say it's demagoguery.

And emotion.

If it doesn't go over, they say it's dull.

So what the hell, we're going to catch you either way.

The other argument is, somebody is going to write a headline, and somebody is going to select a picture.

Why the hell should we do it, instead of some pinko, anti-nexon guy in the bowels of his paper city, or in the television network cutting the truck?

Why don't we decide what content is going to put on there?

And that's this argument.

They say, give a 10-minute speech on everything you do, and I keep saying, give us a 60-second speech.

Correct.

And I'm going to keep talking about it.

We're going to revolutionize that thing.

I'm not going to quit.

I'm not.

I want to.

And also, what you know about the best thing that you've done is to, in this respect,

This little signal that our car calls, it says to provide income, that you do very well.

But you've got to be nice to them.

We come back to them and say, I don't want two and a half minutes for them.

Even if they were wrong on that, you'll say, oh, they'll go three or four minutes on this.

Every time they matter, it's got us to a minute, or a minute and a quarter.

Give them a minute or a minute and a quarter, and do it well, so that it doesn't appear you're being cut off.

That's right.

I give them the choice of what to run.

Decide it ourselves.

You should go out and do 30 seconds to a minute.

Anything you do, you should do it.

We can translate this down to even the very smallest of things.

Any picture opportunity in the office.

Right.

Decide what's the picture and what's the caption.

Let's do it every day.

And I shouldn't get anything but that.

Now that's what you do, subconsciously.

I have very, every time.

I have manual success in it, though, because I have people in on who stands by the flags, or who sits in the chair, and all that.

There should be a damn thing.

We have a hell of a lot of light, as I said, even in the Easter picture.

We had nobody up there, as I told you.

We worked our ass off.

There was fat, and the heroes had their dresses, and the Christians had a hat.

And we were worried if we'd go thirty-five, forty minutes down, we'd go to the church.

We sat in the waiting room.

Who the hell was up there?

A nice little Commander Campbell.

I didn't even know it was actually first base, so nobody knew what we should do about the picture afterwards.

And nobody had the television up there, so that was a mistake.

Easter's a hell of a good shot.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And then somebody had to set that picture up.

We got the next thing on that end that we were trying to keep it.

I don't know.

But we decided, if you remember, it was the 94th, right?

And certainly somebody had started to go out and say, look, we've got to get this team anything, and we'll probably go nuclear.

And I realized, I know what happened.

Lots of things are going to be done now.

I was going to make decisions, but then the last...

That's it.

We've got to get the country before it can move.

We think only this way.

Move in as I told you.

Any time I told you, any time I told you, any time that I told you, you can't tell somebody else to do the same.

Don't do all the same.

It doesn't matter.

I end up doing it.

That's not good.

I mean it literally.

When I say this, a plan on any of these events should have a square with a picture drawn on it.

It shows what it stands for, whether there's an airplane in the back road, a cross, or the front stoop of the church, or the Lincoln Q, or whatever it is we're going to do.

Then we should get it.

We still know what we're after.

Start on that, yeah.

That's about it.

Try to follow up and see if that family picture could get approved by the kids.

Yeah.

That will be back.

If they approve, they'll sell it to me.

The other one, this is better.

I think it's a very good picture.

I think it's great.

The expressions are good, and the flowers on either side.

It's a good, warm picture.

Good family.

You're right, you're right.

That's what we have to do.

And it's that way.

You can't do it in terms of...

I'm not saying that you... You can't do it in terms of saying, well, it's me, Mark Goodgusson.

Now, Mark is fine at drawing me a little diagram, saying you walk in here, you walk in here, and you walk around.

I need to know that.

That's all.

But then I have to determine that he's no judge.

That's right.

Maybe we need somebody.

You need a creative person.

It determines what it is we want on TV.

And Mark is superb at getting it on.

But he's got to be given the script that shows this is what we want to have happen.

We've got to get the cameras and the lights and the sound equipment in certain places so this will come out.

Thank you.

This is your reading copy, here sir.

I've got it, yeah.

I'll just put it once again, here.

Excuse me.

There's not much in there.

Or at least I don't know.

I don't understand.

Hold on a second.

Hold it right.

I'm calling you.

Thank you for watching!

Undertekster av Ai-Media

Ehm...

Fusil.

... ... ... ... ...

Gaze.

I don't think I marked Rogers there.

I would prefer, frankly, even not to have Mel.

You see what I mean?

If you have him, you have to have Rogers.

I think Henry should do it.

Let Henry do the reading.

That's the purpose of the pep talk.

Let Henry do the reading.

Fine.

No, I think the China thing has to be

It's sort of separated from congressional relations.

Henry will be there, and that means that you'll agree with him on the damn thing.

I wouldn't mind normally, but I think since it's gone to China, that they can feel that it's not very good.

You can tell that Henry will deal with it on the meeting, but we want them to feel it's not a little separate from politics.

There will be pictures, of course, of the camera, the camera will be loud, and so forth.

Okay?

... ... ... ... ... ...

I ask you to...

We've got broadcasts in there already.

As much as you possibly can.

I don't know.

I'm sure it's there.

I wish we could make it also.

We're making changes going on.

We're going to hold it there.

I'm talking to Alex.

He told me that they were planning tomorrow to have the event.

I don't know if this is the time.

... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Then he, or maybe he or she, will feel sensitive about it.

He may have to ask Schultz or Steinberg, or somebody should go on about the food crisis, or he should point out that we should be talking about food crisis coming down on the economy.

He will be at that level.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

You see, it could be as a better salesman on all of those flights that, say, Richardson would be on busses, or Shelton's or Stein, Shelton's or Stein, if you want to name it.

So I just try that, and that would be very nice.

Now, that'll expand to an hour and a half, but that's okay.

But I'm going to go on first, and I'm going to get that time cut off.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Hei!

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

And you can see the central module here, the air gun.

And you can see it across the board.

And you can see the navigation.

And you can see where it was going.

I was at the first start of the engine.

And I was at the second start of the engine.

And I was at the third engine.

And it was helpful to indicate the problems of the great American airmen, Navy men, and so on, helping the South Vietnamese prevent their country from invading from North Vietnam.

We're in this kind of aggression situation, and we'll serve to cause our peace, ending growing and finished discussions.

Our party speakers should make the point that this is a war, and the Senate needs to get us out.

We need to reduce the number of calls that have been made.

We will reduce our casualties by over 90%, and we are involved in an honorable way.

... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ...

Flying for some of the matters you will want to consider.

You know, on Earth, not at all.

You need several months to find the following considerations for you.

You have one.

Players.

I would like for three or four of you to sit down and make up a list of the 10 best players we have at home.

Obviously, the best players are some members of the camp, a few members of Congress, some governors, some members of the White House staff, some people like Joel, and a bunch of other people, including the White House, and the Reds.

You have, of course, the members in the background for the so-called self-managers.

Of course, at the secondary level, you have the sub-captain.

There are veterans and other organizations which are on file with the Coast Guard.

It's a property that will serve two purposes.

One...

When a story has to be told, you will be able to look at the list and put it in ideal land.

Number two, a small creek.

You've always had a creek.

And a story is important enough to require that kind of creek.

Next subject, this is number two, is tactics.

This could be one major story a day.

This is on a major subject matter.

The fact that there are plans to go around the assumption that I will have one hard news story each week.

The television will be involved.

It's important about the tax order, not the number of stories.

Repetition and follow-up underline the words repetition and follow-up.

How they start on the line, for example, when we use our language for our speech, follow-up day after day, until we find an average playing goal.

They don't be concerned about the fact that the user is not carrying the important things, follow-up, and not to scatter our shots, until we get some sustained evidence through one way or another.

In this discussion of tactics, I am referring to our positive stories.

Obviously, the counterattack or an answer desk operation could be supplemental to these positive stories.

And on some occasions, they will provide positive stories.

Here, I'm getting across the basics about the man

Courageous, intelligent, big one.

Controvers, positive, second.

Particularly the view of the recent Vietnam War.

The issues of justice throughout this matter on several occasions.

None of those issues had a priority, as I see them at this time.

Peace.

And foreign policy canals generally still have to be on the list.

Temporarily, the emphasis will not be on the generation of tapes that will come back into the Moscow.

Temporarily, the issue must not be to be a strong foreign policy leader who is negative to the crisis.

Cost of living is a particular emphasis on the cost of food.

And in particular, this is on drugs, or jobs.

Five questions.

One major effort should be to put our democratic plans strongly on record, favorably on record against them, and getting this across to the areas where it is.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

We have an excellent program when we go on.

We're all there ready to share with our organization and help.

And so, the question is whether it is wise to stir up the orders around the change in excitement, or to

use that thing as a subsidiary issue of our audiences for special pictures and episodes for stability and return to some kind of after so many years of crisis and upheaval.

It can't be played at the same time, but at least this should be a matter for discussion within the board to see which way we should go.

It's probably called out on the reform issue.

This will be called out on the fact on Congress.

The latter is probably a good idea and should occur immediately after the Democratic Convention.

This role will tend to flex under the fire which is directed against the administration through the conference debate very often.

The recommendations from the administration was made in the direction of this and the list right after they revealed the message and all the numbers have changed after this insertion.

At the same time, corruption should be properly addressed.

And then after that,

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Thank you.

When you list, when you put number 4 on your table, and the question was there, and the question was there, it was clear.

It's hard, actually, for non-political schools.

Last question, if I am not suggesting that this list of issues is exclusive, or that we're not shaming this time as time goes on, for example, you may want to take the environment, because they appear to like it.

Commonly for us to respond to the issue of competition, and we need to be...

... ... ... ... ...

I'll meet you there.

Is your meeting all right at the Wessie today?

Good.

Is there anything new today?

Well, of course, it might carry.

It's going to carry out.

Yeah.

Is it fear of the loss of flights, planes, and that's it?

Maybe it can, but we're going to buy a little insurance.

I know.

Good.

What do you mean?

This flight isn't going to go off?

It's not going to go off what do you mean?

What distance?

Exactly what do you mean?

You're referring immediately above the DMC or way upwards?

So we've given them the authority at least?

Well, who are you looking at?

You want a cable?

Why not Friday?

I'm kicking the hell out there.

I couldn't agree more.

I'm going to do it because I need to for other reasons.

Larry can go to hell.

I've tried to tell people a lot.

What?

With a little public opinion, we can work the north over again.

Does Hague agree with you that this ought to be done?

Well, well, anyway, I suggest that, I think Hague ought to go.

And that's that.

Just say I want to go out there so I can have a first-hand report as to what the hell is going on out there.

Okay.

I'm giving him a hard time.

You tell him that I'm giving you a hard time.

Because I have anyway.

Who the hell taught you all, you know, pretty true?

I've been calling night after night after night.

Nobody's doing anything.

It hurts me.

How about having the Navy move further up that road?

They aren't afraid of you, are they?

Well, how about having the cruisers particularly go up the road 75 miles, shovel stuff up the road further?

All right.

Can that order be given or hasn't it been given?

Give it immediately.

I want that to move up, and we're going to do that very dramatically and soon.

Let's get that right up there, back and further.

Sorry, I've got lunch today, isn't it?

Go ahead.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

No, we can't, yeah, we can just say that this is just what we discussed.

We tell them we think they want one, and then it will only embarrass them.

Yeah.

That's right.

Yeah.

So we talk about, what about the attitudes or directions within the world of that man's field, third round, or left, we don't know.

Or we run it the other way.

But I won't say a word.

Sorry, fine, fine, I wouldn't say word about that.

Oh, I would say if the Russian summit comes up again, we'll go on.

Yeah.

Get that fleet up there, I just thought of that.

Get that, uh...

And on the, there, now, if the arguments are afraid to lose pilots, that makes some arguments to me, but if, on the other hand, the question is how we understand war, this is the kind of, is that your point?

You ought to come on over.

Basically, the fleet now is not going to be cautious.

The B-52 is not going to be cautious, correct?

That's true, but you want tackheads, all right.

Yeah, yeah, but get the fleet up there.

They can hammer it.

Fine.

And also, on the other thing, get Hague out there.

He'll know how I feel.

I told both, both, probably both, Jared Hague.

Christ sakes, now's the time that we've got to look forward to the year.

Good, good, good.

You're going to talk to Gruber and work it out.

Yeah, I think it's a good thing.

And incidentally, I wouldn't mind going to Vienna.

I suppose it's better.

With Salford, you may have a lot of creeps around.

You know, all the tourists and so forth.

It's probably fine.

I like Salford better, but...

I love Salford because it's well in the sun.

Fine, well then soldiers is fine.

But anyway, let them pick the place, I don't care to you.

Word.

Right.

But we don't, no, we've got to avoid what we possibly can at dinner.

Right, right, good.

All right, I'll see you at five o'clock.

I'm not going to imply that this is a presidential mission.

Get your impressions.

I don't think there's any problem.

I don't think we want to say Chris is actually a mission, but we can say that they are.

It's a bipartisan mission, and obviously we're both having the right to, but it has the approval of the president.

President, as does the meeting, as does the trip to the House, because we consider that our China policy is one that has brought a bipartisan approval.

And they are going, for example, in the government plan, and we just discussed the meeting.

We will expect to get a report from the one that returned.

There's no special message or anything.

They will take it.

I think the issue is, I think, yes, we're going to send, I'll send it.

I'll send it.

... ... ... ... ... ...

Ok, Mrs. Mixer called me yesterday and I'm going to call her back and say that I don't know about economy.

But economy, I've thought about this and I don't know where I would think about it.

I think two things that there's really no need for, but there sure are.

What am I here for?

I have no objection to it.

She can come back and maybe come back and make some speeches.

She'd like to talk.

She'd like to come back and she'd make some speeches around about what a great job this is.

But you control it.

You have to control it.

How does she not know what they stand for?

How does she know what she stands for?

That's what she's supposed to do.

Just say she can use our staff

That's what Mrs. Nixon raised with me at the time.

She said there's no need for any staff.

We have to say that we're going with a very short staff, and that we pool all the secretaries.

And that you'll have somebody there to let you work it out.

Because we can't just have it go on and on and on and on and on.

But I think it's a good thing to have her go on.

I agree with you.

We're having several more.

We have three here going to the first day, and we're talking about it right back.

Thank you.

... ... ... ...

We'll meet with these people, this, uh, any of this, uh, press.

Yes, sir.

The, uh, the, uh, press.

Yes, sir.

You can't do that with an Ali-A.

I don't want to.

... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Firmable.

I'm sorry if I shocked you.

I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry.

et ainsi que votre marbre, votre marbre à l'invitation, vous appréciez, vous cherchez vraiment votre marbre à l'invitation, votre marbre à l'invitation, ainsi que votre carrière, votre chaleureux, chaleureux,

Samankalp, Kanaryang.

Amin.

Je vous remercie pour votre invitation et pour votre carrière.

Je vous remercie.

Henry, are you free to come over now?

What is your situation?

Well, I'll tell you, I'll have Paula come over now, then, if you could give about a half hour.

Anytime.

That's all right.

I've got to get you to help Paula, but now I've got to finish up some things before Canada.

Yeah, okay.

I'm going to be over in 15 minutes.

Can you come over here?

I'm going to hook you up.

Okay.

Hei!

... ... ... ... ...

have that run off as a statement on the occasion of the OAS dinner, and have them also type it off as a speech copy for me, in case I decide I want to read it.

What I'm more likely to do is, you know, you'll probably get a few of the thoughts in my head and deliver a toast.

But on the other hand, that could be issued as a statement for the OAS dinner.

Second point, with regard to the speech to the parliament, I do not want that attributed to the press until about two hours, you know what I mean?

Let me explain, there's one thing that I want, I've got to keep holding, and I wouldn't give a damn about what the press had to do anyway, so they tell us they're going to keep it going about two hours before, see?

Yeah, well...

Put it out tonight, that's what I'm saying.

I don't think he would anyway, but let's be sure that it's covered in that way.

You know, one trouble with an agent visit is that every time I turn around and make a speech, you have to make an arrival statement.

Arrival statement, toast, and I understand how to make a statement.

Thank God, Dr. Martin, for the speech to the parliament, and then the speech from that damn ceremony.

I know, I know, I know.

But the British usually stop there, apparently.

This goes in general.

Gives a little speech after.

Has become the custom in a lot of the British countries.

But, boy, the beauty of going to British countries in 1953 is that they never did that.

They never had to make a post.

Unless it was an informal dinner given by the Prime Minister.

Well, no, I'm not even that.

Which I think is better.

I mean, well, I agree, it's better for the end of the stage, that's the only one that matters.

The audience wants to hear the four bachelors get out on stage.

Yeah, but the audience, why worry about that?

The audience is there, they're there, they get the thrill of being in there, and all that.

I do think what I will do, though, is to get a very nice touch with Dick Wilson.

This is a nice little blooper.

We have to come in, and I will present the other service left.

I don't tell us if you don't have it, or if you don't have it, or if you don't have it, or if you don't have it, or if you don't have it,

...to get out.

I mean, what you personally, we have one hell of a time doing without, you know, a good period of work pumping, trying to sell something.

How the idea was conceived, you know what I mean?

You know, who are you going to have to, don't give it to Sapphire, because it's not his thing.

Well, that's Sigler Tom, president of Montaigne.

How do you want to do it?

I'm trying to sue you.

And he just came in one morning and said, had written out this, and it occurred to me one night, and then could I respectfully suggest that Sigler go back and do a cheap check with Rose and see what other organizations were selling?

Well, I'll mention it now.

I can think of it now.

They ordered the hounds to, but they only wanted the word mentioned.

The 58th thing was rock and roll, I think, or something like that.

We won't mention the ones that we had underneath.

The 60th thing was the kitchen cabinet.

Now this, we didn't have any other, the other cabinets, we won't mention anything we didn't have.

And now we have this, and we went off the intensity.

But that, you see, is the kind of background that's good for people to cover, in a good kind of way.

If you like this.

She doesn't have to go to heaven.

She just has to find out what the 58th name was.

That I don't remember.

And that gives them a little peace that they can write.

I'll tell you what you can do.

You can have Colin Thomas come in too, because she'll then write for the goddamn wires.
