 I was in a meeting in the president's office, and I just came out and got your call, but I hope this is a Josh, huh? No, I'm not late here, but see where they have a clause in there with a secretary of Congress. I'll be there. I'm on the call with the chairman now. Go ahead, go ahead, sir. Clause in there, which I'm going to offer amendment to tomorrow. My committee's back in 100 percent. My amendment doesn't go through, then we're going to vote against the bill. There's a clause in the Appalachian Bill with a secretary of Congress has the right to arbitrarily, the formula. Oh, I'm not aware of that. You didn't get anywhere with it? Yes, sir. The defect of segregation is all right. Oh, what was this? What decision? This means that in the North, where we do not have de jure segregation in the school system, we have de facto, and we're trying to correct this in the North school districts, because as long as you have a getter, which no one's by... Excuse me, who is this beloved friend of ours? That's, uh... And there he is. Oh, Mrs. Green. Yes, your de facto segregation has been a good decision. Let me, uh... Let me, Mr. Good, I think this is very... Can you hold on just a second? Sure. Because I think this is important. Hold on just a minute. What the hell has been happening in your committee? I thought you told me two months ago that you were going to pass a bill for me. That's right. On a $400,000 appropriation for you, we couldn't pass a billion, two hundred million for school kids. Now, you know I'm for you, and you know that I'm going to help you anywhere I can. I've got nothing to do with what you're doing in the House investigation, but you've been here, defeated the best education bill I've got. And I hope you're going to be proud of it. I hope. Now, uh, you know when you appellate your bill that there is... Well, I appellate you ain't got a damn thing to do with you. If you have you, come in here and let us handle the other one. Yeah, but there's a clause in there, Mr. President. There's a clause, but in there all the time, and if you're going to let, if you're going to let heirs and heirs of green lead you off the reservation. Well, and I ran for nothing last year. It was 15 million votes. Uh, if you're going to, if you're going to pass this Congress and screw it up, what you've done for three weeks by running off until you've got 400,000 appropriations, well, we never can get anywhere. And you defeat this, and you hold it up, and you delay it, and you get us in this kind of shape. Well, we can't pass anything, and that's all right. But I think it, I think you'll be the hell of a bunch of your liberal Democrats. And I'm going to be here. It's not going to bother me. But I just sure thought I had better leadership on that committee than what I've got without even talking. Right. And I'm awfully despondent. Just very despondent. I'm with the President. Don't you think I was entitled to the matter? No, I don't think you entitled a damn thing that you're dead. I think you told me and looked me straight in the eye and said, I'll report this bill and I'll get it on the floor. And you didn't do it. That's right. And you did not do it. That's right. That's right. No, you didn't say, oh, hell no. You didn't say to March 1st, you told me you're going to do it. And then you ran off for three weeks and I couldn't even locate you. I asked the speaker to call you and tell you that this was serious. And this is bad. This is the thing we ran on all over the country. And your people are being damn well taken care of in it. I know. What about the cause of the Appalachia? I don't know. I never heard of it, but I'm not going to be in armed services or Appalachia or investigations of the labor committee or anything else. We'll try each one of them on their own. There's not anything Appalachia bill is Kennedy's bill that they prepared. They presented for 11 states down here. And we're trying to do the best we can with it. But for Christ's sake, don't let somebody put a pistol at your head at him. Don't do me that way. You will fall me in 60. You will fall me in 60. You call it 59. 59. Well, it's 60 when I didn't have the mouse in 59. But I can tell you the day in 60 when you were. But now, if I'm going to be for you, don't you go to do it this way. You let these goddamn animals that start these billiards is laughing. He had people in here this afternoon. He said he's stirring up all this trouble. And he's got Ms. Green and she has always been stirring up trouble. I know. On anything. Well, that's my problem, John. Well, I know it. But for Christ's sake, you got 21 men to 10. You can't get our people to go together against that crowd. They're unanimous. The Secretary of Commerce cannot arbitrarily change these formula for education bills. Well, you do came in. Hey, listen, you do came trust me on Appalachia. The U Dan Show came trust an amendment or the Secretary of Commerce or anybody else. Is anything going to happen to Appalachia that's made in Negro? I won't let it happen. Period. I'm going to talk about Negro and talking about the formulas for the education bill. Well, then I'm going to do a thing with education. Listen, Adam, don't try to cover everything. They're trying to beat Appalachia. They're trying to beat education. They're trying to do everything they can. And for God's sakes, don't get sucked into it. They used you for three weeks and murdered me. They got 32 amendments written while you're gone. They got the hell raised in the Senate. You got the NAL. You got the Chamber of Commerce. You got every fascist organization in the country working while you were trying to get $400,000 and I damn you're barring and giving to you. Good hell. I didn't know it. I know that. I'd have barred it. Well, all right. You got it. Nobody's bothering you. You got friends down here. But don't let them use you. Don't let them get you worked up. Don't let them threaten you. They're just going around laughing. He and this fellow that's headed the publicity committee on your committee. What's the Republican's name? No, it's not easy. You headed the Republican publicity outfit research. Good hell. And they're just joking about it. I got him divided. I got him 15 to six. Well, he's 15 to 16. Oh, he said 15 to six on our group. Yeah, well, he got six out of 15 and got all of his. You know, he got, he got, you know, high. He got sickles with Maryland. He got a North Carolina. I know whatever one he got and I ain't going to forget who he got. I just think it was awful. And then he just playing into their hand. I hope you won't forget then. I won't forget. Don't you think I'm going to forget? That was the biggest shock I got when I was six months against me. All right. I'm not forgetting about either. And I'm not forgetting about Gibbon and I'm not forgetting about it. But I want that bill reported out tomorrow morning like the administration wanted and what you want me to do. I'll try to do. Okay. And you're worried. I'll have it. You just need 11 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you. All right.
