 Okay. Hold on, please. Yes, Dr. King. Yes, I suppose that. How are you today? Well, I'm doing pretty good. I've been... I thought you made a mighty good statement yesterday that I saw last night. Yes, well, we had been in a difficult situation, you know. Well, it was difficult all over the country. I met with about six or seven hundred up today and here on equal employment. And it's a... We just got so much... We've got just so much to do as I told you the other day that I don't know how we'll ever do it, but we got to get ahead with it. I had all day long yesterday and all day the day before, I was having 44 to 44 votes. 43 to 42. And finally, I won last night by three extra. And now my bills got to go back to the house, go through Judge Smith again, go to conference, my poverty. They determined to destroy it, to scandalize it. I thought Thriver was about as popular and about as fair a young man who could go and had a pretty good image and he was Kennedy's brother-in-law. But they're just raising the dickens in all these states, and particularly all the governors are upset. The mayors can't get along. I got to let it from Kika last night. He's a pretty decent fella. I told him I'd get busy in every one of these programs. I told Lee to tell you I'm here with a bunch of Latin American ambassadors. And they upset because they want more of the sugar. And there are people all starving. But I told him to tell you what, did he go over the Kiko thing with you? Yeah, he went over it with me. And I would get in Thriver if you think that's what we ought to do and do anything that we ought to. I've got each one of these agencies now that have a responsibility in this field. I've sent them Kiko's letter to me and my letter to him and asked them to prepare for crash action. And I guess I got a mean letter from Yordie. He says that our people up here said that he wouldn't cooperate. I don't know who said it, if anybody, but he's upset with the man that I investigate that. How do you see it? Well, I tell you, Mr. President, I have met with all levels of... Now, this is really what concerns us about the possible outcome. The girls been talking, the girls in the brown... By the way, I made... You might misunderstand it, but I took your statement you made the other day and one or two others made about... We passed laws to help people and we got all obeyed the law and we came to violate it either as a clansman or either with a Molotov cocktail that we ought to obey the law. I made that to the equal employment people today and made it pretty strong. But I wound up, I said, what we've got to do is take the... Find a cure and go and correct these conditions where the housing and the ghettos and the rats eating the children in the schools and the hunger and the unemployment and so forth. And they're all God's children and we better get at it. But I want you to know I said that. Pardon me for interrupting. Go ahead. That's all right. Well, in my meeting with... I just felt that they are absolutely into a very rude man. I just don't feel willing to deal with the hardest men and people I've been to watch them. What's your recommendation? I'll get them over here in the morning. We'll get at it. Where are you going to be? I'll be in Atlanta in the morning. All right, we'll call you back. Lee will call you or I'll call you if I have time and we'll explore it. Is that the net of what you recommended? That's right. I thought this would be great. This will help greatness. All right, now you better get your thinking cap on on this conference because we're going to have to have to rush it. We don't want to rush it too much. We want to have plenty of preliminary work on the panels and things. But you better, you can see here that that my Howard University speech wasn't any too early. That's right. That's right. You said it right there. Well, you referred to that sum. In your statements, you just point out that we've seen this national thing. That you've been in here. We were talking about it last week. Wasn't it last week you were here? That's right. And we were talking about Howard University last month and say that. And just say that the clock is ticking. That the hands are moving. And we just, the good Lord is going to allow some time and he's trying to give us some warnings. But the country's got to stand up and support what I'm doing. And I can't have these poverty things hitting me 43 to 43. Yeah, that's right. 44 to 42. That's just too close for the United States Senate. That's right. And I've been seeing you on television every night. You make a reasonable, fair, just thing. But I think you ought to say that the President recognized this thing months ago and talked to you about it and all the leaders. He had all the leaders in here. And he talked to them at Howard University. And the speech is available. And they ought to read it. And that we're going to have a meeting, nationwide meeting, and try to form it. But we can't wait. And we've got to have some of these housing programs. And we've got to get rid of these ghettos. And we've got to get these children out from where the rats eat on them at night. And we've got to get them some jobs. I had a youth job. We got 2 million unemployed. 500,000 of them as a goal. And I set up the Vice President Conner and we got all the businessmen to give them jobs. And we reached our goal to 500. So we increased it to 750. And we reached that yesterday. And now we reached 800 yesterday. So today I increased it to a million. So that'll be a million of 2 million. But I told the crowd today we're just 50 percent. Well, when you bat 50 percent, that's not very good. That's right. So there's a million still that have no place to go and get up these youngsters. But you put a little of that stuff in your thing. Refer that Howard University speech. Nobody ever publicized that. Almost every speech I've made because I think it's the best statement and analysis of the problem I've seen anywhere. And suddenly no president doesn't say it's like that before. Well, we were ahead of it. And we've got to keep ahead of it. And we're not now unless we do. But they never publicized it in the end. You own television and you ought to make them. Tell them to read it. Write and get it. Let's get busy. And let's get into this housing. Let's get into this unemployment. Let's get into this health. Let's get into this social security situation. Let's get into this education. Let's get into, I said this morning I spent the biggest part of my life for the last four years on several rights bills. But it doesn't, all of it comes to naught if you have a situation in the world or situation in Los Angeles. And I said a man's got no more right to destroy property with a Molotov cocktail in Los Angeles than a Ku Klux Klan has to go out and destroy life. And what we've got to do is all obey the law. But no use giving lectures on the law as long as you've got rats eating on people's children and unemployed and no roof over the head. No job to go to. And maybe with a dope needle in one side or the other. Because they don't have very good judgment. People don't that got that kind of condition. And we're not doing enough to relieve it and we're not doing it quick enough. And yet I'm having hell up here with this Congress. I'm supposed to... Oh, I had a tie vote. 43 to 43. And the amendment was to cut me 900 million and no, 791 million, out of a billion six. Just cut me in half. And if the amendment had been adopted, they'd have cut it. But an amendment fails when it's a tie. It's not adopted, so it was a tie. That's how close it was. They're doing the same thing with my other things. They think that I'm getting far away from election and that I haven't got the crowd supporting me anymore. I carried all but five states. But they say, well, go water. It wasn't any good. Johnson's not either. And he's got Vietnam on his side. They all got the impression, too, that you're against me in Vietnam. You don't leave that impression. I want peace as much as you do and more so because I'm a fellow that had to wake up this morning with 50 Marines killed. But these folks will not come to the conference table. I am concerned about cheese. I have made it very clear. That at the present time, two things that exist unreasonable to talk about in the United States having a unilateral withdrawal. On the other hand, you have called 14 or 15 times on conditional hope and it's a no. That's right. That's just the perfect position. That's just exactly the position. And we got to get to you with Goldberg when you get up here and let him tell you what he's trying to do behind the scenes to shove them some more. And if we got enough strength out there to hold on and they get discouraged, we ever get them to the table and we just got to get them to the table because there's no use of shooting when you can talk. Well, that's good. I told him last week to go talk to you and to talk to I's now and talk to everybody. Let's don't let this country get divided. That's good. Thank you and I'll have Lee White call you in the latter some time tomorrow. All right. Thank you so much. Now, is there any other suggestions you got? Well, that's really the main one. Well, I appreciate you doing this. It's a way to function. You did a good service going out there and trying to give some leadership and then call in to us and report. If you got any suggestions or recommendations why I'm just as close as a telephone if you got enough money to pay it if you haven't why I call a collector. But I want you to get your people busy on this conference, though. We're working on it. Bye.
