 We're writing one in a real colorful if we can keep that out of the papers It'll run us forgets in the paper. I agree. So I wouldn't tell even take good one about it I just I just you and Jack know it but tell it me take a jet-star Go up to sea style back Take the platform. I ask him if you just won't rewrite it made it to you and Then write me an exception speech from it I Dextra admin exception speech. Yes, sir, and I guess it'll be based on the platform That's what we're gonna carry out that's what we're gonna do. Well, but it Well, it will be we'll have some of the general principle. I sure think we ought to talk about to They talk about the backlash. We won't talk about for poking backlash. I'd really hit them Man's only got every post who had only got one out of every three Our people really all drill at home Everyone that makes speech Did you all have any good speakers on poverty? Yes, I guess Landrum was the best one with speakers and good speeches and good speakers Who wrote speech? Oh our wall how patience Adam Yomelinsky and how did you get by with your minds today with it did not come up on the floor Jimmy Roosevelt Inserted the record the letter that you're going to give out the defense to McNamara Two years ago clarifying his record is denying these charges. He put that there in the record Roosevelt and some of these liberal congressmen are very upset. They feel that you're gonna see he's got the shaft and It's just been it's been tough holding someone down today for saying anything on the floor But it would have been on wise for for your own whiskey boy and to say anything is unwise for Roosevelt, too He's a plain damn fool your lines. You better stay in the defense department. McNamara is the best defender He's got it and they say just when he's got and he ought to tell him That's where he won't stay until we get him confirmed his sister secretary defense. That's that's great. I'm glad to hear you say that I won't tell him about it I tell him and I thank you the old straight there and I can my story wants try to get him said secretary defense And I wouldn't mind that going bad if he's wrecked it's clean Has he belong to any liberal organization liberals? Yes Yes, but no comment on this and in those liberal organizations. He has opposed the Congress and has driven them out And I want liberal organizations as a question was he belongs to the American Veterans Committee you committed with that. No That's a small group of veterans who who organized to fight for liberal causes 20-25 years ago were to the members that are in the beginning There was a big fight over whether to come into the dominated or not. You know, unless he helped expose and drive them out That's a matter of record Worker is it been cited? No, sir. It's not been cited by the attorney general list There were there were his mother and father at one time joined to an organization that was cited But they got out of it before it was cited when they learned that it was Commutative We will just put up fight for him in this election They told me you want to make him sister secretary defense. I told him that's fine. He could do it and that is three months ago Four months That's good But now we've got to get and I don't want to commit. I see I'm gonna rewrite your poverty program Y'all you boys got together and wrote this stuff and I thought we just gonna have in why As I understood it, you know what I think about the poverty program what I thought we're gonna do I thought we're gonna have CCC cams. We've got there and I Thought we're gonna have a community action where city or county or school district or some governmental agency could sponsor projects State Highway Department sponsored and we'd pay the labor and Very limited amount of materials on it But to make them put up most of materials and good deal supernation so forth. There's a lot of guys there I thought if we'd say to a high school boy, that's about to drop out We'll let you work the library sweet floors or work Scrubs or pick the rocks and we'll pay enough so you can stay in school We got that thought you'd let a college boy do the same thing college girl Now I never heard of any Liberal outfits. It's where you could subsidize anybody. I think I'm against that I just to go on doing the Peace Corps. Then that's your private thing. That's Kennedy But my my Johnson program I'm against subsidizing any private organization Now if we had a hundred billion we might need to but with all the governmental agencies in this country I had a whole lot rather dick daily do it in the urban league And he's got heads of departments and he's got experienced people that are handling hundreds of millions of dollars And every one of these places I'd make them come in sponsor these projects And I just think it makes us wide open and I don't want anybody to get in the grants Now you got the grants out for farmers didn't you all together? And I got that thing I don't handicap that I met you to you last night Know everybody has to work Well, can anybody explain me why in hell it costs $4,600 a year for boy Driver can better than I can but it boils down to basic to the basic fact that travel For the number of it you've got to have more instructors for this because these boys are more undisciplined And so per capita per 10 boys you've got to have at least one there for you one instructor Until they tested and see whether or not it goes that adds up your cost The other things are food so forth and it's only 12 months basis rather than on a nine month basis with your college education Well, I know what anybody can board for a hundred dollars a month That's 1200 and I know you're gonna pay them 50 Isn't that right? That's right. That's 600. So that's 1,800 And they say exclusively you can't equipment. So you would have to According to this have about $2,800 for teachers. I don't make sense I don't know enough about but you find out enough about it cuz you're the unit that done and you have this program and you've been running it That's the big question. I've been asked about every time I talk somebody you tell them And I won't see why we can't cut that down. So that's gonna have to stand screw now I'm gonna put an auditor on that Now on these five people, let's just be awfully careful that we don't get committed to anybody and any of these are Messages what's a Negro woman that's coming down that you put them in charge Giving out interviews in New York Post. Let's be awful careful that I'm not committed to point a damn one out Exactly, and I want to get some real able tough people that are good administrators in these places And I'm willing for him to go to the best business man. He's got sir and robot Every place he can get a business man and draft him in Tom Watson We give him a man someone but bring them in but I sure do want people to stand up on this hill Cuz it's a Johnson program and it's gonna be disgraceful, but the election if we're not careful, that's right So you see the understand that I talked to him about that today and right after that He's just me over a memo to you about one possibility More than you're you're more than you look at it very able young business man who's the executive vice president of the talk to Peter Britannica which is a Going for great guns out there Send that down to you Well, what I want is I want somebody that I don't build ends up that don't appeal to me much But I want somebody that's really come up competitively and point on a farm and know somebody poverty himself And you know, it's got it's had a little hockey between his toes, right? Well, we'll find it with I agree with you 100% on that And I have a couple of guys in mind to suggest That's good That's good. Now What is done doing? Well, he's put together this a number of big research books for it. He's organized people to Answer charges make speeches get on the attack. He's doing that He's putting together a lot of pamphlets which I've been reading this weekend. Okay, and for the convention in the campaign He's brought us some advanced because advanced speech writers in He's trying to fire some people of the committee of the real hacks on that research committee That's best news I've heard He says they're all just tags You ever get any reaction to him on Bobby?

He was going to run for The Senate and that he had told you that I told I didn't know a thing about it But and goodwin told me that Bobby's gonna take a cruise next week and decide whether or not he runs for the Senate and his Feeling was that he would But it doesn't it doesn't it tell me came the next morning and said I guess you know that I was for Bobby If the present was well, we ought to brought him in if you was no we gotta watch that I can't we learn from that. Well, but he had told I'd ask him that before we ever brought him in And he said I'm for whoever the president wants Which is not inconsistent with what he said Until George he sent this to him by wire. They statement headed all men and graft up tonight on poverty Well, I'll just really now tell you that's what I'll do and then you get me the one the best the good runs on Race get him cleared up with Russell and you better get me Edited transcript to my meeting with the governor doesn't cost you anything put this on wire get it down here doesn't I'll get that thing so I'll have it here tomorrow the governor of Louisiana, Louisiana Or to have some real breakthrough on this employment.

When you get your bill, I don't know miss president on that I do know I talked to him say to work about what he's going to do to get a hundred fifty thousand kids under the work training program And he's moving ahead in that regard.
