Yes, he's on his way back.

So he's leaving earlier, he left at 9, instead of 930, he got out of the meeting earlier than he thought, and that meeting was longer.

It was to leave at 9, that's when he got out.

And last year, he said, .

Yes, no, I think it is.

Dave is working on a parking vehicle that would be a real mistake to bring to staff rather than bring up the law.

What I think I might do, because I think it would be desirable, is to call Henry on the plane and just say, I'm trying to get this in motion.

Would it be OK if we got Dave over on a practical basis to read the VR?

First of all, the reasons for that.

The reasons for that.

Well, see, Henry wants to read the stamp on the agreement.

No, I'm fine.

To read the PR point, so that you keep them from saying things they shouldn't say.

But I think it's not that difficult to do that.

The question that I raised, when I spoke about things like that, there are no circumstances that you can't handle matters.

You can't have Jim in front of Steve.

You've got to handle the racism.

You know about this.

I have a question.

I knew about it, but I promised Steve that he was not supposed to go racing with us when we were trying to work out the plane.

See, I don't know whether we can get it.

I didn't know he was checking it with you.

I knew we were working on trying to work out those needs.

I want to talk to you about how we put the rest of it together.

Let me ask one other thing.

Do we now know definitely that Johnson is going to win?

Yes.

And kind of the plan will be that he's going to rely on the state and the library from them today until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

He'll leave there and fly to Washington, arriving here at 1 o'clock tomorrow at Andrews.

brought in by motorcade, and then they go to the caisson at 16th and Constitution, go to the parade at Constitution, and they go at about 1.30, 1.00, which probably hasn't occurred to anybody.

That was 3.00, wasn't it?

That's 11.00.

There's no problem with that.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

That's 11.00.

Now, the cabinet, would you have it scheduled for the following morning?

The cabinet doesn't need it.

No, we haven't had a meeting on Thursday, but we can't have it on Thursday.

That we will have the leaders meeting tomorrow and the press briefing.

And we'll have the leaders meeting at what time?

8?

9?

Henry wanted two hours for the leaders meeting.

He wanted to be scheduled two hours before his press briefing so he could have an hour for the leaders and then an hour for him before he went to the other.

He'll never get out of the program.

Yes.

But now that's tomorrow.

But they don't have to.

They don't have to.

Then they go at 830.

And then they'll be out there and make the leaders leave at 830.

Right.

At the back of the rise at Andrews, at 1 o'clock, there's an arrival ceremony for some of the leaders that will be out there.

That's Barbara Michaels.

Well, that's partly your decision or recommendation if you want to go to church.

It will be an arrival ceremony at the Capitol at 2.30, after the parade at the Constitution.

It will be the arrival ceremony at the Capitol Way of State.

And I don't think you should go to that.

You don't have to speak.

You shouldn't speak.

You're not in the property.

You can just go.

There's a motorcade from the hill to the church at 9 o'clock and the funeral service is Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.

That's the day of mourning.

Yes, sir.

That's the day.

If you decided to defer a company, you definitely decided like eight minutes ago.

Am I going to do that for you?

You have something I do not know.

You are.

You've shown me that you should.

Or I don't know.

You've got an attitude.

If you read the thing, there's an attitude.

I have an attitude.

Well, he wants to do that.

He wants to do the bipartisan.

He wants to do the capital.

He wants to do the center.

He wants to do the other side.

Why do I have time for the benefit?

I figured it out.

I'm just trying to figure out how we can do it.

He wants me to brief the cabinet on the budget, the leaders on the budget, and the White House leaders on the budget this week.

I understand all that, and get this broadcast done.

Even if I don't go anywhere, I don't know quite how we can do all those things and have all that clergy gone.

Or if you have a plan.

Well, you have a... You can't do any of the...

Thursday is the only day that you can see me.

And I would assume that would be okay.

I don't have to see you.

We'll see about that.

That's what I mean.

I'll tell her I'm going to get it right across their butts.

I can work a little length of line.

Get it totally shaped up so that I won't have to dot an I across the T. I'm all ready to go.

Get it on the top rocker.

And I'll go to the person who's going to produce it.

That's all right.

That's fine.

It takes that growth.

They got it in the editing for others, but good, it's funny enough, setting it up.

But I'm putting one percentage of a life on a thing like the 90 will be for others.

Right, let's live through that.

Fair enough.

Okay, then change that when we're done.

What are you going to do about the leaders?

Friday is your only.

.

Well, Kevin here and I were going to provide a message to Jim and Sean, and that was really symbolic for them.

So I don't know that you need to be able to shoot the direction of the press conference.

I mean, if the cabinet has to be had their hand on something like this, John's got to find some procedures whereby Agnew, because I used to go to Verizon, I saw Agnew and others preside over the cabinet for stuff that I've already heard.

I've heard the question previously.

I don't need to hear it.

At least we've got John.

I don't have something there, but we've got a .

You've got to have the answers to put that on.

But Steve knows that that's .

What you do then is this.

.

And I'm going to do it for television on Sunday.

I will have to have it on my desk at 12 o'clock.

I'll have to sit through it.

But if you tell them to get the briefing down to an impellable reason, this will be their trial.

But I want that, I want that draft.

I want that shot to work.

Well, they won't do it.

And they'll have to modify it.

Let's go ahead and see if they can look at it.

Maybe do something.

Say you tell them, let's tell them I want them to look at it.

I think tomorrow night they've cleared out all that dust.

Oh, I think Thursday we will take this thing.

I'll take it if they have it.

As late as I can.

I've got to put it behind them and probably use some pedicure.

Maybe you could put Price to work on it.

I think he's the only one about it.

I think he has the capability to do it.

He won't, obviously, get any lines in front of him at all.

Now then, I can get the damn leaders out of the way.

Now the issue to do is the Republicans and then a bipartisan vote.

And then I think just to better do the Republicans, so we don't go wrong, do a vote.

The bipartisan first, and then the Republicans stay, and then the Republicans go right to what it is.

I've got some bugs entwining all the way around it.

Or should we make a checkbox or maybe kiss them for an hour and a half?

We'll smoke for an hour and then say we've got to clear out and stay right here.

to get to the meeting at 10 o'clock.

That would be a good time to get him out of bed soon.

So that I can survive.

I've got a break between two meetings.

I mean, I'm always at 15 minutes.

And I thank you to God.

And so when I say I have to pass it to Dean, then I'll clear out and give this to the lawyer.

Then get your others out of the way.

Wait until Friday.

I think the Dean goes Thursday night.

He's coming right up to you back from the Johnson Church.

He has to do that.

I told you that when Johnson died, I wanted to get his letter out.

I don't know who he is.

I don't know if he can.

It's a woman, I'm sure.

I don't know her style.

What does he want to do?

He was interested in coming in and he was a firm follower of him.

I think we all should have heard.

Sure.

Yeah.

That would be over.

And offer it to her.

But we've got to ask God what he thinks of it.

But I think it would be a nice gesture to sort of present one, get that letter right when we can, desperately to get somebody to write it with that style.

I know that style is right for me.

And then, you know, that is something that's what we've done.

And I actually put that over our whole bunch of letter writers, just doing my personal thing.

You know, the yellow.

And we'll do that, and I think that he might be good.

You see what I mean?

This is a real classy guy.

I just wouldn't...

Yeah, that keeps it a little bit open.

Well, we could, but it's kind of a .

All right.

Now, the question is that

And since Bob was not doing this for the benefit of the people, he hadn't done a lot there.

He was already curing Theron, the hero for some symbolism for the country.

I think he ought to help.

And I think by then, I'm going to have them here in the sawmills.

There's no reason to have them on the other way.

If the regulator is better, it's no problem.

If the regulator is looking at the situation, you're mastering it.

It's not going to be so easy.

It's not going to help at all.

I think they should be better than a million years first.

as well.

And I'm just wondering how .

See, I'm just .

No, no, you don't.

This is you.

I'm concerned about .

I think I'll just tell the leaders that I want to talk about my part.

We cannot issue it.

We cannot give you the text of the agreement by which you will read it tomorrow.

But we'd like to agree with all the leaders tomorrow.

About my idea of choosing the leadership thing, I want to know what your view is on that.

There are a lot.

I was wondering when you did this, you had some wild card you wanted in, Goldwater, Scott, or somebody.

Several names he had, so he was gonna make up a list.

They could put in a couple wild card, a couple of people that stood with him.

I wonder.

Don't worry.

Let's look at the list.

That's all.

What time is that?

We ended up with about 8.30.

That's correct.

I want to keep this handy.

I'll have to read tomorrow.

As a matter of fact, he can make it 11.30.

We'll call it for 11.

Yeah, we're going to have it on TV.

No, I think 11 is better.

Of course, I remember the terminal was sold here.

There's a strong faith still that you want to go up to Congress.

Or especially with Johnson.

Which I don't know what anyone even considered.

I like it.

The pictures are all very interesting about it.

.

I know that Strong Fitch is primarily a Buchanan, Moore, Sapphire, Craig, Wilson, Ziegler, Rowland, Timmons, or Timmons, of course, all the way down.

It's just a question of whether, first of all, we're talking about a country, and whether we win members of Congress who are not dependent on whether or not the country feels that way.

We have always done that.

When I returned from Russia, they didn't tell us one hell of a lot about the country.

But what really matters is what was said.

Before I ever left, it wasn't the fact that those assholes were sitting there in charity.

Another question I want to hear Johnson's pick.

It has to be a somewhat muted presentation.

My view is that we just have to be clear in the present time in God's terms

You see the problem is, Ron,

You understand there is something to be said for not fighting, trying to get the whole bail ahead.

And there's business of that.

How do you discuss it with the Congress?

I think it's a good question.

The guy sitting out in this country, watching the President of the United States peaking at an announcement such as this, in the context of that setting, they don't know.

Excuse me, that Al Jurek speech was picked for the Congress.

I don't really think the shortening makes that much of a difference.

I think the speech is .

That's the other problem.

There's going to be some shooting.

There's going to be some this and that.

And here we're nixing up with a moment of crime floating, floating, all over the place.

You want to remember what goes up and down.

And I'll just say, go out of your comfort with that.

Well, hold your briefing until 1130, which is, we're not quite ready, but I'll try to talk about it now.

What's your view?

The one that's pushing the congressional thing?

That's not far away from it.

Well, of course, frankly, it's a question I did raise.

And because I have a point of view about the setting itself, not the rest of the Congress.

I just think it's a very dramatic setting for the president of the United States.

I mean, this is not...

for the whole government and the Supreme Court to be happy.

And that is apparently the first sign.

Now, I don't know if this helps the joint chiefs or anybody else, but I don't know if it makes much sense.

And now you've got to say this, that you're better and worse respected than God damn it.

And if you start to get away with it, basically.

I was going to ask you about what I started with, and then I looked at the local office.

And we're not going to go over those kinds of things.

They don't worry about .

I think now that she was going to be very brief in her speech, she's going to be wanting to spend time in a place that is excellent to serve as gold, which is good.

So to take out of that paradigm a little bit of success.

I think it's a good thing.

None of our candidates together was able to do what I was telling you first.

I don't think the stage needs to be that long.

I don't need to be short.

I do have a brief paragraph on one.

Oh, there is?

Oh, you could add this, that I will read the agreement, put it in a paragraph, the agreement will be made by mutual agreement, it will not be made public tomorrow.

I have met with the, and I will read the bipartisan leadership meeting tomorrow on the contents of the agreement.

And of course, for other members of this body, we decided to read the agreement.

Do you think so, Alan?

Any other members of this body?

We can put that in.

Maybe there's something to be said.

Well, the point he raised, the point about it screwing up is that Al is going to screw up, I'm afraid.

But I must say, I think that Mike went all along and said, we're just not going to fix what we're doing.

This is Mike going out and saying that Nixon's voice needs to be heard.

You know what I mean?

It's true that they're cheering.

I'll talk to you tomorrow about it in the New York Times.

Washington Post and Chicago Tribune and The New York Times.

Banner has on Sunday the same piece.

Well, aren't I at the New York Times as well?

They say that the Congress wants peace.

I'm worried here.

This is not just about peace.

I'll be back if you'd like.

Sure.

Do you want these proclamations?

Yes, I heard you, ma'am.

The devil told me about the thing last night.

These statements, when people die, should be about 50 words.

Not 500 like that, but 300, whatever the hell it was.

I mean, I cut 50 out of it, but I don't want ever a statement from the company next week to come on and say, President, you've got to get rid of it.

Put it in the confirmation.

But they ought to get the gist of it down to 50 well-chosen words so that it's all appropriate, rather than the gas on and on and on and on.

And then prepare this.

And then prepare it, and then bring it to work.

I'm sorry.

You know what I mean?

That's the whole point of the reason it gets played.

But my point is, presidential statements are all too goddamn long to come out of that domestic crowd.

They really are.

We've just got to get them out of the infrastructure.

We've got to get them down something succinct, meaningful.

I believe it's a little bit in there, but we should edit it rather than there.

We should edit what we want.

All right.

Thank you.

Get me over here.

Fire schedule.

You'll get a fire schedule, so let me see if you...

.

I just wonder about also about the taste.

.

The way I've experienced the future for a certain time has helped me really.

You might say that this, on this day, when the National Bank allocated my money, when I went to pay attention, I had an announcement from the bank that said,

I'm sure it will be welcomed.

It will be welcomed.

I said, then I'd better come back to the last and do you as the Johnson at the end of the submission, but not now at the beginning, because that's the purpose of this.

And we've got that already, and we've got a lot of nice things to watch out for.

Do you know what I mean?

I've got to say at the beginning that I recognize the National Guard on this day and time again.

Not mentioning this name, I have an announcement.

Welcome.

You could go on and say

Thank you.

No, sir.

That's right.

But at least they've got to try to do something about the water, and they've got to screw it up.

.

Did Henry come back with any modifications?

Yes, he said very funny things.

He said a very good quote.

His speech was superb.

It was a very good suggestion, which was the name of the Jew, the Bunkerman.

The Jew asked that you point out that this speech would go to him and the South Vietnamese people, too.

And I said to her something.

Well, listen, we had, Henry had been so obsessed with trying to win the election the whole last time.

We had this been settled about 150 years ago.

We tried to rush him before that election, and that broke the victor of Munster County.

We brought all the problems we had.

I was going to ask you this.

We have a very difficult problem in terms of getting our story across on this.

Very impressive.

And I quote, a disaster in terms of getting the most appointments on the way, but they don't come soon.

You've got to understand, where is my intent there?

I'm circling around for a few minutes.

I've got to look at the headlines as well.

The same is true of Boston.

The same is true of Zygmunt.

The same is true of even a sack of them.

The same is true of a Buchanan.

The same is true of a Price.

We've got people all around here who can say something, and say it very well, and we can talk.

Now, this, of course, is consummated with a little punter.

We have a little Roger here.

Well, you'll do it.

But on the other hand, Rogers will try to get over it.

all true, but because of his enormous ego, it comes out in terms of what his view is and not the president's.

Except when it's bad, then it comes out what the president did and what his view is.

He doesn't intend it at all.

He doesn't believe that at all.

But his problem is enormous.

It's enormous because of the people he writes for.

The real problem is this.

How we handle the public relations on this is enormously important.

And my view is we cannot agree or not.

No, I agree.

But how are we going to do it?

And who's going to do it?

Did you say, when Bob said that he felt that you couldn't bring the leaders, you just had to get Bob to go check it?

If somebody doesn't agree with the PR people, there ain't going to be our side of the story.

When we had the agreement of an argument in the 31st, Henry Lewis told it.

He had a very long story.

He said he didn't understand.

We got a couple of good stories only because we got the White House on our side.

But it wasn't good what Henry did.

In fact, it was really, in spite of it, I don't say this with any petty concern to the rest.

Without Henry Kissinger, we wouldn't have had this man.

So Henry Kissinger was indispensable.

He was good.

See what Kevin Phillips wrote?

What if I called in and said, we need to get this to .

Well, we just wanted, we just wanted Al to think it was all right to tell our people what not to say.

Very mischievous.

And he said, he said, but don't let anybody stay here or stay at home.

I said, sure.

Well, I thought it was, what I'm going to do is, I said, very good.

Well, I'm going to tell somebody to come and discuss it again.

They said there won't be time to do that.

Maybe we're not going to have them.

Maybe we should have Henry do the staff when he gets back tonight.

I agree.

Henry should do the staff tonight, by all means.

But Henry, he's got to be full of means and all that.

That'll get our hands to work it over.

And then, but believe me, we've got to work it over.

And before that staff meeting, somebody has got to be here.

The three or four points, now that's why I'm rather surprised to look at them.

I would get them closer and closer, at least another three or four points, if we were going to get across.

Who the hell else you got in there that's talking about those three or four points?

Who else is reading all they're talking about?

You can't.

It's a housework of work.

What I'm talking about is

What I am talking about is something totally different.

I am talking about the key point, which Colson was raised, everybody should be aware of, which is that the Doves will say they forced the president to do this, rather than that he did it ourselves.

Now, that point has got to be different.

And they'll say, well, we've got to wait until we write the history books.

Tell me you're going to wait.

It's too late.

I think we ought to get Colson in.

He's got the .

There hasn't been any discussion of this up to this point.

But you can't .

So I suggest, I agree, Henry should read tonight, read the staff.

I agree with that.

Correct.

That's an excellent idea.

Then we get the staff on the right.

He will have had his crowd on.

He will have had a chance to, you know, be thrilled and all that, which he needs.

And God damn it, he deserves it.

He's got to tell somebody.

If he agrees with the staff, he'll be talking to Joe Kraft.

He'll be talking to Joe Kraft and Scotty Russell.

But you know, I want that same lid kept on me.

I mean, it's not like all that lid, which I don't know whether Hickory followed through on this.

Did he talk about Shatner this morning?

No.

They called us all yesterday.

They are not going to get anything.

Not at this moment.

I mean, after they retracted the mental closest one.

That's Ron Pervertich yesterday.

Criminal libel.

They are not going to get away with it.

And so we're going to play it.

OK, but what now is to do if you do this?

Every problem has to get past here.

Because basically, we face a situation where

Now, of course, he's going to go to Taiwan.

He's going to go to China.

He's going to go to all of them.

But they'll want him later.

But we, as a man, will have to go there.

The point, though, is this.

Let's take a problem like the Middle East.

Now, you know very well that on the Middle East, John Henry talks about it in terms of the Soviet thing that goes up the wall around Cisco.

Henry is full of us for almost four years, too.

Because he is totally a captain for the Jewish community.

He really is.

What I'm trying to say is this, that we can't let a state handle it.

They'll screw it up.

But we have got to handle it here.

But I just can't see Henry doing it.

No, I told him, and frankly, he choked right after the election.

I said, Henry, the time has now come, and we've got to squeeze the old woman.

He got 38% of the vote.

I said, screw the vote.

I said, we're doing this for the United States.

Do you agree or not?

I agree.

Screw them.

Do it.

Just wait a day.

It doesn't matter.

We need to get a taxi.

Well, we're in a situation where we're in a situation where we're in a situation where we're in a situation where we're in a situation where we're in a situation

They want to survive.

The state had carried out two times in the last four years when they were starting to do it again.

Well, I know that.

I know how it's been stated.

I'm just saying, too, though, Henry has a somewhat of a blind spot here because he doesn't want to do anything.

He's really just set to reassure them and get them more arms going up.

The Israelis need a little restraint here, too, haven't they?

Father, I think we've got a problem with the Soviet side.

This issue will be raised.

I think they'll have contact with the Soviet side.

Now, we've got to get to the fundamental point of the relationship of men and creatures.

The relationship of men and creatures.

Henry doesn't know.

He doesn't know.

That's not totally true.

I assured Henry that it was a matter of a few months.

I purposely did not believe him.

He's never believed me because he's just got to believe me.

He has been told that it's a matter of a few months.

And I said it's the early part of the year.

That's what Henry wanted.

Many Henry knew that it was going to be them who wanted to do this.

It was going to be all over town now.

On the other hand, then we got Ryan over there.

Or Conley.

Conley, the friend who resigned was Conley.

That's all right, too.

Henry is more concerned about the text online to a document.

Because I feel in front of him, which is absolutely true, honestly, he did not want the job.

He did not take it.

He did not ask for it.

He said it was not wise for him to take it and so on.

And Henry thinks that all this is is a floating building for him, which it's not.

And that's not how it came about.

It just didn't happen.

You'll get some employee to let Rodgers, but you don't trust him.

That's right.

But now we cannot continue to have him stomp on the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Director of the CIA, and this old man's government.

We cannot let him do it.

where he, where some, and it means that we're probably going to have more meetings of the security in that city, which will help sign the agreement.

But the point is that with the Richardson, you can trust Richardson.

You can trust, like I said, if Rush is there, you can trust the record with Rush.

Rush, he's told, would not tell anybody, but with Rogers there,

We trust him on a matter of a very great personal level.

I think you told him that the difficulty of Rogers, you know, too much what the assholes below him.

And it wasn't with Rogers, but, you know what I mean, he did the, we know the Rogers problem.

I don't need to go into that.

And also, there was an impossible personality problem with Rush and with, with Richardson.

We'll have some discussions for that.

which is healthy, but at least they are not going to be the acrimonious kind of thing, you know what I'm saying?

The very intense ones that Henry and Rogers, you know, acting like both of them, like goddamn fools every time they ever sat down.

They're sitting there, like, better and looser than the snap that they're going to get.

Sure.

Oh, it was shocking.

Pretty shocking.

Well, I agree.

So you see, you see that the problem here is one that you've got to help on because

very close to the line, those mental problems we know.

And God knows the reasons for it, because memory not only reads the critics, but particularly

at that rest of the building.

But Henry knows that he doesn't.

He's totally obsessed with himself.

Am I right?

I don't mean not what he's trying to do.

We've got to deal with this problem now.

We've got to deal with the problem.

You've got to talk.

You've got to help us on it.

You're the only man that knows.

It's no problem.

It'll take him a year, two years to learn what you've done.

You understand?

And we cannot get this in some sort of position.

And it costs a lot of money.

But if it is a good thing, we have to do something about it.

So that, I think, can

.

Tell me this, what are we going to do then?

How would you use Rogers?

Rogers?

I'm going to have to talk anyway.

I didn't follow the thing you used to let Rogers be used and let him say the State Department did a goddamn thing.

Let me get a little credit for the praise.

Maybe you've got anything to talk about.

That's where the focus is going to be.

I mean, that's where the base is going to be.

Very important there.

And Rodgers must not go in there and try to set a little, reassure a little bull ride and hand it to us and say, go look, Senator, we're doing everything we want.

But don't worry about us getting involved in that.

We'll come to the Congress again.

I want to reassure you, we don't intend to do anything.

No, no, we're not.

You see, that's the problem with Rodgers is we're trying to butter up the goddamn Congress.

He's got the lead in hanging over there and a little bit of a threat.

A little bit of a threat.

I can see him now wanting to reassure everybody that we'll be weak like he was in MC-121.

That was a great victory, but it wasn't.

It was a hell of a defeat.

And Rogers went over and over again.

On the other hand, he's a doctor, by the way.

He can't back off the bombing he wants there.

Right.

Well, as he's saying, Bob, maybe reading something from I'm not sure is what's going through your mind most of the time.

And one of them, Stry, one of the only people I see, I don't even know where he's from, where he's from, where he's from, where he's from, where he's from.

now and in general with some of the stuff, we get to return some.

And the folks on the college chairs, they're very practical people.

And this line has started to come through that all of us and everybody panicking about the bombing devastate the panel and everything.

It's a little hard to swallow when you see the TV pictures, not the panel.

It's like any ordinary city.

It hasn't been devastated.

These people are a little bit, you know, what they just did today.

Yeah, I think somebody could start a party.

Yeah.

You know, we're acting like we're going to do whatever it's worth.

You're acting like we're going to rip behind the scenes.

That's right.

Why?

Because of the question posted, of course.

Okay, well, the question posted, rip me, not rip him.

They're ripping him.

You gave the speech the other day.

You're not going to let them.

Right.

Well, they're going to have to report it.

They're going to report it.

And they just got to get out of it.

But the post said it.

They get in there and tell us that it was an ill-becoming speech, and the concessionary came in there and said, well, brah, brah, he showed up.

Come back and said it crashed it.

Crashed it, you heard that.

You know, I became paid.

It was only short term.

He attacked the press.

He said the press never laid a hand on you, but they tore you apart.

Bullshit.

The press said you don't bullshit all the press.

It wasn't him laying the press.

The people saw the record for what he was and believed against him.

See, there's a reason.

I'm sure all of them are saying it all.

I'm sure you didn't win the election.

Oh, I'm sure there were a lot of people on the cover other than there are you.

There's no question about that.

There's no question.

I have a question about that.

I want certainly, certainly, I want to talk to Bob that's gone over this before.

They've got to get their telephone call apparatus ready.

They've got to get their letter writer apparatus ready and all that.

I'm going to write a letter.

and those of the Democrats and Republicans.

Mr. Willis, I'd like to send a letter indicating that there is a technical problem.

There is a problem.

With regard to new members of the House,

Here's what I mean.

The reason I'm doing this in this very special way is that Percy and those other assholes who supported us on that jackass thing at the Senate will not get elected because he didn't support us over the past four years.

and the new members who voted with us on the resolution.

The new members.

Any old members, in other words, who tested, if it's a member of the Congress over the past four years or the Senate, he gets a letter that he voted for us on the resolution.

Only if he supported us, see?

If he did not support us, in other words,

Now, you didn't get any letter.

Do you see my point?

That's got to be studied out in very, very carefully.

The letter has to be very brief, and that's what you're supposed to do.

Okay?

I think that'll help us a little bit.

You've got to be sure.

Now, for example, that's a letter.

People like that.

They'll deal with it.

They'll get the money.

They personally will not get money.

So on down the line.

Now that is a way to suck it, to get across the line.

Now, how do you get across the line?

First you've got to go down the line.

You've got to go down the line.

various

I don't want to hear any more about this except to see the left.

Now let's come back to this.

Congress, yes, Congress.

Christ.

He's against it.

Well, I don't know.

Well, Christ is such an honest guy that he, and also he's a, he's a, in this case, a Democrat.

Showmanship.

He was a Democrat.

Well, then how does .

I know.

I can see that.

On the other hand, it gets into the same area as well.

But now we said, Henry's saying, don't get all of them .

We have to do it in the four years.

I had problems with this, not because of one or the other.

The arsenic, I think it broke.

Anything humidity is going to happen.

That was the plan.

But the fact of the matter is, what error are you considering?

One error.

If you have an unneeded situation starting early this summer, this is my answer to you right now.

You have brought these people right into the ego sense with your speech.

And I think there's a good chance I wouldn't be alive if I didn't do that.

I think you bring them in more in a sense of participation.

That's a bad thing.

You think there's more likely that they'll come?

I think unrambling will be more difficult for you to manage in that situation, because he's got some of her notions of it.

Oh, God damn it.

They're going to say, well, if we have this big show over the house, and where the hell is this piece that we're talking about?

That's bottom one.

Bottom two is, I think, benign.

You don't see this kind.

In fact, it's more manageable.

But the dangers are there.

We go, I don't look at this as a first step.

I look at it as a ceasefire.

It has to be managed with vigorous leadership.

It's a hard one.

It may become a first step.

And the more euphoria that we get, and the result of this, you know,

The more I find the noise going to be, the more worried I am.

And I'll never come back.

And we're not just a taste issue.

We're a family issue.

Taste issue.

I want to get around that.

The substantive points are very, very cogent.

I must say that I go back to what

Bob said about having such new points on China issues.

If we'd have followed Hagel's advice on China, we would have been a better man than Sexton.

When you have a similar thing on the question of going to Congress coming back from Russia, that was in a much worse sense if you don't look at it that way.

There was no reason on earth to go to Congress there except to get the glory.

.

There will be the problems of violations and so forth over a period of time.

But we've got to be there for any restraint in order to let go of that kind of a sanction.

And also, we are terribly concerned about our relations with the Congress.

And the rest of the thing is .

And I can't blame them.

Why should we be aware of that?

Why should we?

And why should they be concerned about our relations with Congress?

But I guess that's where we differ.

That's pretty much it.

It's much and utterly different.

It's a question, basically, of people not knowing all the facts.

as well as could be avoided given the facts.

Yeah.

Their answer to all this is that when I go out, when I go out and I go to the law office, when I greet the leaders at that point, it's going to be .

He greets the leaders, he warns, blah, blah, blah.

In other words, we've got a real office.

We're doing the local office.

That's right.

That's where I would argue that the difference is not that game.

And whatever he says,

.

Yeah.

That's my problem.

I don't mean it that way.

What it raised me this morning, I'll show you there.

I didn't talk very much.

It was important last night, early in the morning.

Then when we met, when we heard about Johnson, we said something.

We said, what was all this going to turn about then?

And I mentioned this morning, and I looked at it, and I said,

Black people didn't do it.

.

We're able to express appreciation for our efforts in the end on a positive level.

And here's our best part of the rest of the night.

It's only kind of us.

Incidentally, I expected a suggestion from the secretary of defense.

I thought it was a little bit of a blossom.

It's a price to come out there and get off that goddamn plane.

And for no reason.

That's the...

Why doesn't this come off and walk down the back end in the way the normal person does?

That's really the way it came about.

Well, it is imperative that he comes up the next session.

It's imperative that he not smile and not wait.

Because if it's being a day and morning for Johnson, he should walk directly to the helicopter.

There you go.

Get that closet out of the way.

Hold back the press.

All that sort of thing.

Walk right over that helicopter.

No.

I don't think the point in that message is also because it doesn't have some of the plans, but it's not quite qualified for that, but the leadership, the meetings tomorrow and earlier in that program, therefore, if the leaders make clear instead of 10 and press it a lot, yeah, therefore, we also, the White House tonight is so clear, it should be prepared for that.

The White House, again, I said all the most impacted businesses.

Yeah, right.

They didn't get the feeling at all, but on the basis of what Johnson said,

Did you get any reaction from Henry with regard to the impression that the ER was ever cemented?

No, I told him that there was some thought of that.

And then it was dropped because of .

So he's .

Well, this building would not be.

It's never worth anything on the ERs.

No, but with the ERs, the ERs are the substance.

I think they could have been better.

Yeah.

But he probably doesn't lean too hard on you.

No, they don't hear all your PR times.

So I would expect everyone to just tell them who they are, say no, right?

Same thing.

Basically, go to the early plus early, say, like, you can't do anything else.

Or, actually, so, or whatever it is.

No, they don't have any attendance, of course.

Yeah, exactly.

In other words, are you not very strong in that it's still .

In a sense, this is a memorial thing.

And then, of course, leave in the stuff about Johnson.

Yeah.

in the argument of the office.

The argument of the court, the argument of the Senate, that it's a question more aggressive than the scene of the entire government there.

It's a very different case.

Do we teach the court, the Congress, the diplomatic court, the diplomatic court, the whole job?

That it's a question.

It's the occasion better than the president sitting in his office.

that ties everybody into it, puts it all there where it belongs.

And then I think the relations, not the public relations, but the congressional relations are the most progressive, sharing this with all the Congress.

With all the Congress, rather than just five leaders.

Right.

And I think we would add, just for your information, in terms of the people that are in Kansas City, it still should be great.

I'm just trying to lay out what you would add in two respects.

You would add, in that sense, the effect that this kind of thing is always fragile, that it's going to require a strength, something that I sort of mentioned earlier.

to the members of the Congress, express appreciation for the bipartisan majority, which over the years of this difficult Congress has, by enormous pressures, stood steadfast or behind policies which has their goal of peaceful

So you'd add that to it.

And there's a section on the Constitution that's open.

And then you would add also that the agreement, the agreement, financial agreement of the two sides will be publicly made public tomorrow.

I have agreed with the bipartisan people

tomorrow at 930.

And any members of this body who would like to be briefed in the context of the arrangements will be made in the office.

Now we've got the reply.

We're going to say, half hour, most of the time, we're going to say, half hour, most of the time, we're going to say, half hour, most of the time, we're going to say, half hour, most of the time,

Andrew, pick all your teeth out.

No, no.

Get back your teeth.

No, they're fine.

Thank you.

Anyway, let's do something about it.

I'm going to read the first part of the interim case.

That would be the wrong service.

Thank you.

This is my job.

You know, are you letting on the EOP?

It's the announcement that's about to start.

And it's going to be a little bit later than that.

What's about .

.

Fire.

And I don't want to speculate.

I didn't vote.

I didn't say it.

I didn't vote.

And I'm back on your agreement.

We have a resolution on that.

All right, so you're buying up.

All right.

Well, no.

Well, I'm sure not.

But here's the question.

If, uh, the idea of being a police, we care enough to be a police, because we have agreement with the other side that the officials are not being a police.

That's what I'm talking about.

Right.

Well, what was I going to say?

What was I going to say?

We should.

Thank you.

I can't do it.

Yeah.

Thank you.

.

We're going to have to ask for time.

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

All right.

.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

.

Thank you.

.

They say, ah, now they're going to piss you off.

They're going to eat you alive.

But George and the others will be destroyed, not by the right, but by the left.

The left will destroy it.

Because George and the others, the left-wing ideas, the right-wing ideas, the leftists therefore cannot be the right-wing ideas.

And they destroy the left.

.

to do what they just can't need to do, to blame somebody else for the failure of the movement.

That's why we say, deep down, deep down, here, you will never find a better place for this kind of movement.

It's more frustrating, and you'll never find more people here than I do now.

And we, deep down, are like those people who fell on the road that day.

They've got to keep, deep down, beneath themselves, beneath the country,

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Because, first, we're not going to put it back there.

We're not going to put it back there.

Thank you.

All right.

Well, I'll say this.

I don't think it's important.

The question is, how do you find it?

And there's a good way to find it.

How do you find it?

Thank you.

All right, Robin, I tend to make that call and make the same call for absolutely confidential cases.

I cannot say anything about it at this point because of an agreement with the .

Why don't you just have charity ..

I think you can do the community ..

I have no information at this time.

The matter is under Dr. ..

He's about the only person we really know that was a politician.

I would like for you to get the secretary on the phone.

That needs to be taken out.

It's an open line.

Thank you.

Well, I guess so.

I guess I'll do it.

... ... ...

Thank you.

So there is something in the nature of where we stand today.

We can't reach out to the leaders of our democracy.

The other hand, now, is going to be very damn sensitive to that.

I'm sure that all of you, I want to say, in the past, have received very, very good investment for reasons that are not in our industry.

Thank you.

positive, and then January, and then report back to those people who already called.

I guess that's the way it is.

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

But don't worry about the new word.

I will wait.

If you've got the copy of the speech, you want to leave it with me.

And now, after you've got the message off, you would wait and come back.

And we'll sit and talk.

And we'll talk.

Yeah, I need that.

I think you should

Thank you.

I don't believe, I think it's very important for people to know that they should not raise those points with me.

And frankly, that doesn't be great.

I'll hold the board on that.

I'm just as sure as I am.

I'll put myself up to it.

Thank you.

.

Okay.

Why don't I try to get through things all the way?

All right.

Or the next person.

I believe that.

And I'll try to work on the speech.

I don't have all the information.

Okay.

Yeah.

.

The tape here has all rolled over to this roll.

There's no more tape left over here.

What does this thing in here look like?

what do you mean because it's all rolled up to this reel

Because that's all the tape there is.

There isn't enough tape to fill the whole space up.

All the tape goes.

But it should still reverse.

There's still nothing wrong.

Well, it's probably out of gas.

I see.

What do you have to do is turn it over to the side, too, and start running.

Ready to start recording.

I see.

Ready?

Now we have to start.

Is that it?

That is it.

Okay.

Thank you.

Then I'll just carry the smaller one around.

I'll use the smaller one.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right.

But that size, it takes all over here, which is where it starts from.

When that size is done, it will all be gone.

You should mark, write something on side one.

Have you dictated stuff on there?

Put a check on it or something so that you know side one is done.

You don't go back and re-record over it.

I really think it's .

I know I understand .

I think it's actually .

I mean, you're going to find out .

Yes, that's to me what it's going to be about.

Because I don't think we want to give the Democrats the chance to purple around about the president forcing us to be the backdrop for their victory.

On the other hand, if they strongly say, absolutely, we must come to the deal, and we want to call a session and invite him or something like that, then everything will go right.

It isn't going to

I'm under an overriding, you know, difference.

I don't know where to write it.

It's going to be good either way.

It's a very good point.

They've been running all this TV, you know, recapping Johnson, you know, all that kind of stuff.

And he said there is a hell of a difference when you look at the scene of the things that happened at that podium versus sitting at the desk in the office when you go back in history.

.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
