 and I want to tell you about it. At Great Iron, we're going to have you pardon the expression, Kennedy and Reagan. And against that background, it seems to me that there's an opportunity last year. But I'm not a regular lieutenant, I got about seven of them. I know you have, but this is hear me out, please. It's an opportunity to set the great dignity of the presidency against these two young upstarts. And there is one precedent for the president of the United States making his speech at Great Iron public. This happened when Mr. Parker and Mr. Teddy Roosevelt had an argument at Great Iron. And I thought that I see any reason why if you wanted to follow that precedent that you had a story or you had a big announcement or you had a speech that would fit this occasion more serious than humorous, that this might be a dramatic and I think an important thing to do. I thought it was so good an idea that I wanted to tell you about it. Well, I respect your judgment and I like it, but I just don't think I ought to get into that. I went last year because of your judgment and I've got about seven or eight of them and when I sign on one I just murder myself and I just don't believe that I ought to do it. I think if I had run for office I had to be re-elected. I had to do these things and I might just come kiss her ass, but I just don't believe I don't believe in doing it when you don't have to. And if it didn't involve all the repercussions it does kick off because of the photographers and everybody else comes in right after you can't do anything about it and I turn them all down and I went to all of them and I said I'm going to go to everyone and I'm going to give you my my lung and my respect and my admiration stay and spend the whole evening and just endure it all and watch you with your jokes and your fun and try to make out like it I think you're a good comedian even though I'd rather just be reading the Bible and I've gone through that about a couple of occasions but I just really honestly I know how you feel about it but it seems to me at this juncture with the things that you've been up against that this might be a time just to turn on the full glare of the great beauty of your office in front of that crowd and make your speech in public tell the press the reporters are never pressed but copy of your speech is available for them if they want it I think it might be a dramatic thing so what did you do you make speeches every day but why why would this in that context the more these immature young politicians from California and New York and that audience and then to put it out to the public it seems to me like a hell of a good idea in fact that's the right I don't like to bother the press but I thought it was so good I appreciate it I'm grateful for your friendship as you know I'd have granded out as best that nobody finds a moment of somebody a cynic spirit I think you owe it the democratic idea requires you to do it on occasions and requires you to do it enough where I made up my mind I'm going to have at least two press conferences among them I'm going to have one television for Cerebral Planet and the exhibition and I'm going to have at least one for in order to people to get information and see his eyes and his health and ask what they want to and maybe another one I've had two already in the last ten days and then I had one television so I had three this month but I'm going to do that but I think he's damn night dinner late in the squad and you've got you've got a hundred you've got a hundred associations you've got a hundred patriotic societies you've got a hundred educated stars and you've got a hundred newspaper people and I don't think it does you damn good I never have found it does I just think that you go out and all you do is just sit there while they show their naked legs and act like they're funny and good dances and poor singing and a lot of crap and then they spend all their time trying to be funny and to me I don't think once or twice it's just kind of like having a cup of coffee you don't do any good they just take a peculiar delight and I'd rather just be signing proclamations or doing something else or taking their jobs because they're going to give them to you anyway well it struck me that this context was so good so fitting a place to show I just love you for thinking and I appreciate it and I told them I just knew that when that dear old gridiron comes up you always think about it about a week ahead of time and I'm grateful but you don't know how much I appreciate you but I just I just think it might be misunderstood and I think I might get involved with a whole series of kickoffs and I invest for you all to just embrace Bobby and have a good time and then take Reagan too all of them have no meals there and they know what I'm like but good or bad mostly so bad how's the state of your health I think pretty good I haven't seen you in a long time I think I can do for you not a thing in the world couldn't be better I love it I love you
