 Not getting to that one the key point. Is there anything I could do before that on this business of South Vietnam? If you want me to do something, you know, I'll do anything because We're not gonna let these people stop these things if you think I could do something They got told Erickson last night. I thought it'd be better Do it that way than to be calling on the trips. I think this these people are proceeding on the assumption That folks close to you tell them to do nothing till January the 20th. Oh, you got it Now, I think the wise thing to do from the standpoint of your country and from the standpoint of your presidency and I hope you believe me. I want to help you. I want to help you. I don't want to trick you to see this I want peace and I don't want to get some Democrat in a favorable position over you But I think they ought to go to that conference now Yeah, that's the thing we could do right now. Yes. I think you ought to have whoever you trust the most in Washington Whoever your Yes Therefore, Mr. Ambassador, I think you ought to tell the president that I support our president on going to the conference and I think you ought to go and If they try to sell you out, you don't have to agree But you ought to go because the Fulbright's and the Mansfield's and Even the Dirksons will not go along with anybody that won't go to a conference table now That's where they are tonight. Let me let me ask you that About the ambassador as I met him about five or six months ago. Do you have any influence with that government? Yes, he is he is giving them these signals and he is he is telling them that He has just talked to New Mexico and he has just talked to the makes and people and they say hold out Don't do anything. We're gonna win and we'll do better by now. That's the story big and it's a sordid story I told you that Sunday when I talked to you remember when I talked to Smilers and Dirkson Right now. I don't want to say that the country because that's not good Right, but they are playing that game. I don't think you're playing it and I'd get off that hook I just say to him you go to that conference and you protect your country and I'm going support our president As long as he doesn't agree to a coalition government as long as he doesn't agree to recognize the NLF As long as he he stands on the conditions he does and we're united and don't depend on me to give you a better deal
