 Hello, you are pretty good. I'm not getting my strength back very well. Oh, I'm sorry I met with every direction a while ago, and he told me he said next to you this morning He just enjoyed it and told me we had a nice little meeting. Well, as long as I'm sitting down, you know and working my desk, I have no trouble, but it's any unusual or quick action So you're on color television, don't you just look wonderful just like you coming back from the war Yeah My name is Brad and I didn't want to bother too much, but I just want to make sure there was no misunderstanding I noticed that a senator the other day questioned why I didn't give you any tail and plan I had for Lickwil and the war in Vietnam and I Did I have no plan that that is responsibility of the President of the United States in the mind That's whenever my council has been asked I have always had to keep getting enough to win because our purpose was noble and proper and so on and I have said that If I were in is it back in the position where I was a few years back I would just play it on the basis of Winning and winning as quick as I could now The only thing I've ever said that has any that they can make anything other than this has to do only with I said I think the winning the war should be the number one priority public and I agree with it And I understand it you ought to waste one minute if you're a valuable time What you've got ahead of you to ever call me because there's been nobody And this government that's been more valuable to me and been more comforting to me than you have and I'm trying to win it Just as fast as I can In every way that I know how and I know that you won't help me And if I if I figured there's one little thing you do I'd have good pastor over there in five minutes I wouldn't pay any more attention to Mansfield's speech and if it hadn't been made called Mansfield flow bright and good many of them Frequently Say these things and it's all right to throw them to tell us how to run a war and then when you say well I'm not I don't have the information I don't want to take a president's duty and I don't I'm not an armchair general of sideline And I think that's a very proper position. I have told them In the meetings that at times I've asked your judgment talk to you about various things and every time I found it to be wise and good when we could give you the facts and Give them situation ask you if you had any Recommendations that you'd give them through channels and general good pastor brings them back So don't you pay one better attention to anything it about says that there was a patriot you are yet and I'm awfully thankful to good Lord has spared you so you can help me and I'm gonna need all of it I can get and what they talk about they got mad at Nixon Nixon got out and said well Increase ground forces 25% and then he said we're getting in the land wall out to get in more with bombers and He changes each day to it and man still got a irritate with him, and I don't get irritated in him Oh, I just kind of like you do You see in the in the clear war these people are trying to say now you said so and so in the Korean war I said my friends no two military situations are the same and no two political situations Here is a war. That is the most nasty and Unpredictable thing we've ever been in and it's just as much political as military Therefore when I said in Korea, I didn't say I'd use a coming bombs I said that I would no more be inhibited or limited by the gentleman's agreements had been prevailing up to time I got there that if we had to bomb the yellow bridges or going over to the bases in China where this stuff was coming from I'd do it and I'd use whatever weapons were necessary to win Now as I said that through three different the avenues and we got done I said unless this is gonna be done unless the arms is fine Well now the conditions with that time we had a practical monopoly of all bombs And there was no the conditions are not the same that the war is different And now they're trying to say that they want me to say wouldn't I raise atomic bombs? Nobody can make such a decision Attempted that's right. I just want to point out that I never vary from my stand that this is your responsibility If I have any Ideas that what we should do or could do I communicate them to you And whenever I have to say about that may sound critical That's merely that I want to win the damn war before I could go to the moon You never you you just you said what I think it You told me this you may have forgotten it But the first visit you made to my office when I talked to you didn't I'm over in the old executive office building You told me it's you sent word through a dull us to a mayor who that you were not going to be a bound to buy any sanctuaries Or any weapons that you're gonna do what is best for your country and you want to bring it to an end And you didn't get specific or anything you just said let that work get around and Bob Anderson told me that he heard The same thing and I think it was a proper thing and they're trying to get you to say that you won't drop an atomic bomb on somebody And we know that you you don't do anything there It's not well thought out Well, I Meet all the help I can get so you Know that I know that you that you've always shown that and I told her ever ducks in this morning He said he made a little statements morning said we got one blood out that one flag and one uniform and I said well I've been paid a thousand percent. I said ever do you remember when I used to have stand up and build no one going to back Row and attack president. I'd stand up and do it. He said yes, you're dead I said well, I've been paid a hundred percent dividends for three years now Well, don't let it please don't let it do it because I I know how you feel and what you think and if I ever get By anything you'll be the first to not talk to and I never have been but you've never done anything but help me sir
