 John, you know what I think of you, don't you? I certainly do, Mr. President, vice versa. I've got to ask you now to act like a good American, I believe you to be. I'm going to seriously consider appointing a small group of seven or nine tonight to look into the cause of these disorders. I want nothing but competence and I want nothing but compassion and I want nothing but patriotism. The commission will investigate the origins of the disorders in our cities. It will make recommendations to me, to the Congress, to the state governors, to the mayors for measures to prevent or contain such disasters in the future. In their work, the commission will have access to all the facts gathered by the federal government, including the FBI. They will continue to exercise full authority in the Justice Department to investigate riots, search for evidences of conspiracy, and to present them if available. To date, all reports indicate no such evidence has ever been uncovered. But even before the commission begins its work, even before all the evidence in, there's some things we can tell about the outbreaks this summer. First, make no mistake about it, diluting the arson to plunder the pillage which have occurred or not of civil rights protest. There is no right to loot stores and to burn buildings, fire rifles. But innocent people, Negro and white have been killed, damaged to property owned by Negroes and whites is disastrous. Worst of all is the fear and bitterness which have been loosed, which will take long months to arrange and so forth. It would compound the tragedy if we should settle for order imposed by the muzzle of a gun. In America, we seek more than the uneasy calm of the martial law. We seek peace based on one man's respect for another. Most Americans, Negro and white seek safety in their neighborhood and harmony with their neighbors. Nothing can straw a goodwill more quickly than a period of needless strife and suspicion between the races. Let us condemn the violent to you, but let us remember that it's law abiding Negro families who have suffered most of the hands of riders. It's responsible Negro citizen who will most permanently and need most urgently share in America's prosperity. This is no time to turn to that goal. To reach that goal require more than laws and more than dollars. It will take the dedication and heart of every citizen and so on and so forth, and I ask them to pray and ask them not to tear down a few things like that. And I don't want you to even consider thinking about it. I just want you to say yes, sir. Yes, sir. I will. I know it. Now, don't say a word about it until I make up my mind. I'm going to do it. I've got to talk to the attorney general, but what I want to come out of this, what's good for America, and I think you represent everything that is good, and I'm also grateful that you'll go as quick on this as you would with Vietnam if I had to have him. Well, Mr. President, this country is in trouble at the moment when you asked to help your title together. I've always heard it from you. Thank you. Bye, Mr. President.
