 And I thought it would be good for me. And I would ask the USI people to see if there's anybody who wants you to broadcast. I'd go on all the television that they wanted me on. I'd go to any of the young people even if they prayed and whatever not. You've got such a good sense of humor that you can laugh them out of it. And I'm not worried about what they do to you. Anywhere. I just try to get me a damn good staff and really, really have a good, personal, dignified trip but try to really get some good publicity out of it that will make you look very substantive. Working on these things and going at the president's request and I wouldn't apologize for one goddamn thing. I just take the offensive on everything. Yes, sir. That's what I want to do. I just say our position is that we don't want to change the name to it all. And we'd like to stay right where we are. That we think every nation ought to do what it's agreed to do and we're going to do it. But it's pretty hard when the rest of the men come up for us to keep rotating at least one division. And that our president doesn't believe we ought to change it at all. We don't think we ought to have an invitation these sons of bitches to march. He doesn't forget what Khrushchev told Kennedy at Vienna. No, sir. And we don't want to be encouraged. But they do encourage him when they jump on us out in Vietnam and all that kind of stuff. And the weaker we are, the weaker NATO is. And they don't have sense of knowing. And if they think that we're a bunch of country bumpkins, well, they're just a bunch of goddamn fools. And they better quit attacking us. And I'd get in. I'd tell Wilson to get every goddamn back venture he's got. He's got the wildest and radical. Yes, sir. I just talked to him about the goddamn bombing. They got in there last night and they bombed a bunch of our people and killed them. And nobody says a word about their bombing. That's right. They stopped their bombing for a while. Put bombing the airport in Saigon. Put bombing the embassy in Saigon. Put bombing our bases every day with these Russian rockets. Not damage a fake, quit bombing, we quit bombing. Well, I think I'll be able to do a bit of work on them. And I'll just take the back venture. Just say, you're not going to yield any liberalism, but goddamn one of them. That you had this same fight when you were killing fascists in Germany. Yes, sir. Europe. When you had to go over there in the Battle of Britain zone, that you had the shipsteads of your state in the United States City who were raising hell then. And you've got them now. But if the times come when you've got to stand up to people who are trying to provoke tyranny and enslave folks and do it by aggression. You did it in Greece and Turkey. You did it in Berlin. You did it wherever it's rare as it's ugly head. Just because it's not in their backyard is no reason to thank you, thank God they ought to be willing to let it go off in their brother-in-law's backyard. Yes, sir. Very good. Now, we'll try to get it cleared over the weekend. And you tentatively. And who should I work with there, Nick? I think so. I think so, or Lady. Yeah, Lady or Nick, yeah. And what we're hoping is, it will be March of 27th, April 8th. Yeah, that's fine. Yes, sir. Are you contemplating the Scandinavian or just the Germany-Idley? Well, you can go anywhere you want to. I think that these are bigger. And I think I'd go to the other summertime if you want to. Yeah. You can go if you want to. I would dilute them a little bit. I just thought this is the big four. Yeah, that's right. Kind of makes you look a little bigger. And it kind of follows Monty a little bit. Yeah, I got your point. Morning two, you could low countries. But I don't believe I would. I'd go back there some other time. I just go with this big thing wrapping up this McClaw idea. Yeah. I try to locate McClaw and talk to them all about it. I'll do that before. My general position is, I don't want to give an answer. I don't want to give a soldier. I don't want to give a damn thing. I want everyone of them to do what they're agreed to. Yes, sir. They haven't done it, since they want to. And since my own Congress wants to bring them all home, I'm going to just play around and rotate one division. But I'll have them. It won't mean a damn thing. I'll have them a 24-hour notice. And I'll have all the other divisions there. And I hope I keep the Congress from pulling them all out. And I can, as the Germans will stand up and do their part. Well, I'll be able to talk openly with Levy on this thing Monday or Tuesday, then, won't I? So that I can get as much solid information as possible. You can do it, and you can talk to anybody. If they're in trouble, your staff gets stuff out. I've been reading about this Democratic Party. What all ever columnists in the country may just cut to them this crazy stuff. Not just Allen, but you've got Mary Ann, me, and... Oh, I know. I read all about that. That Allen stuff, nobody in God's Green Earth has talked to him that. Oh, but they're talking... They're picking up from others. And they do talk, because I never didn't tell anybody about it, but you. And then, goddamn, I started reading about it for a month. When you tell one of your little boys, it's true. Everybody's president has the same problem. They feel that their man is being overlooked. And when they get a goddamn inch, they take a mile. And they've got enough sense, no? If they leave it up to you, you'll make the mile and do it in a hell of a way if they just don't bomb in torpedo here and round. Now, what I would do is, when we make the announcement, what I'd be quietly doing is stay away from the goddamn columnist in the papers and trying to blow yourself up to Evans and Novak or them, they'll gut you anyway. Then I'd get me a damn good outfit. I'd get me some damn good speeches. And I would make a hit with the television and radio and stuff over there. And I would take a good group with me, or if you want to. In your own plane, you're going one of the big planes. And I would treat pretty reserved and dignified. Now, the best presence you have is when you're not too friendly and not too forthcoming and a little bit reserved and a little bit judicious. I never saw you better than I did today. And it's just because you were last and because you didn't want to keep them and because you didn't get your hockey hot. Didn't get all worked up. You just were very judicious. Now, that's the way I treat this goddamn press. And I'd make them look like either you are a big man and a judicious man and a statesman. And you're not going to be worried about these little nitpickers that go around with peacekeepers. And I would never refer to them. And when they refer to me, I just smile and go on otherwise. But I would be the man that's very interested in keeping this alliance together and preserving what could have been a hell of a bad situation. And our own Congress and Man Steel and the whole committee and Russell and all of them were unanimous to bring the boys home. Now, we have a burden, Dad. We have a burden. We got to let you know that the British, you ought to tell the British that they just can't completely abandon their responsibilities in the world and run out. We know they got problems. But all they've done to me since then President St. Douglas Hume over here, and he talked about what he had to do for Cuba. And they sent Wilson over here. And he had to tell me he won the Nobel Prize. They called up the middle of the night. Then by God, he says he can't do anything unless we give him the money to do it. The next day, he lands $40 million to Cuba. And we back him on all of his international monetary matters. Then he lectures us about not keeping him fully informed on everything. And he gives out a damn fool statement that he's just an inch away from peace, just the slightest little turn he'd had peace. And that's a lot of bullshit. Anybody read the Pope's letter knows it. Yeah. He's beating people. Now, we like him. We're foreign. Yeah. But he ought to be lectured us. And I wrote him a wire. I told him if I got it, I couldn't give him a power of return. He didn't show his ass. Yeah, I know, I know. That's the picture. We like him. We're foreign. We're always going to be with the Britain. But he's got to understand I've got a hell of a lot worse problems than he has. That's right. And he's gotten dead now. That's for sure. How many mothers he got calling on him? Well, if he can't hold it by God over there, then he's not very strong. Now, if I got Churchill and took to the Battle of Britain and he took it, waiting on us, by God, if this guy can't take it, when he can't hear a sound, he can't get a seismograph and find one goddamn earthquake rumble in London. He hadn't got a man there. We're paying all the bills. We're losing all the lives. And by God, he's got the shemmish. So he just got to quit gold squat like Adelaide Stevenson and went somewhere and then put on his blumbers and come on back and tie himself if he's going to blow. Well, I'll do some work on him. I think I can be helpful there, Mr. President. Well, if Brad can tell Keesinger, too, that we love him, that Germany, we put them number one. It's the most pro-German president any president ever had. But by God, that man can't be president very long if the chastler says that he's in complicity. They guilty of complicity with the Russians. Yeah. They're not conferring. I've given the goddamn Germans more time. Well, if Brad hadn't even gotten out of my door when this damn fellow was saying that. Yeah, I know that. Oh, George McGee's camped over here on behalf of the Germans. The way their heart came before my damned ink was dry on my own. And I took him home when the Christmas and I just had him constant. And then for him to say we haven't conferred, I had this damn disarmament man, Bill, whatever his name is. Bill Foster. Bill Foster, he was over there then. Yeah. To see him. He stuck their nose up our ass for every day, for months. By God, he's out talking about me being in complexity with this. Well, the Russians, I have made a damned agreement with the Russians. I'm going to check everything with him. But he better learn to quit trying coldness names through the newspapers. Because I know how to call him a goddamn square-headed son of a bitch in more languages than he can. I just got more matters. Yeah. And I mean, that's what you've got to tell. Just say, if you want to cuss each other out through the newspapers. I got this guy, he's a mountaineer. He knows how to do it. He can call you a shit-ass seven different ways without ever using the word complicity. He doesn't want to do it, because he likes you. But this is no way to try our case in the newspapers. Well, I hope that I can do some good. OK, well, I'll see you tonight. I'll see you tonight, Mr. President. Do you think we had a good meeting today? I thought it was tremendous, and they thought so too. And the little talk you gave just before we went to lunch just nailed it down, because they were working on us. There's no doubt about that. And that just finished it off right good. Well, Paul said I misunderstood him, so he didn't mean to get argumentative at all. He said he was just trying to be helpful. Well, he's a pretty decent fellow. He isn't really a mean, nasty guy, but he was a part of the Romney and Rick Reagan had already gotten together before they got in there what they were going to do. Our friend Nelson Rock thought it behaved very well. But I told the whole Romney how foolish it was. I got to be jumping on our own people and trying to win here what they couldn't win out there. I think I sobered him up a little. Yes, sir, that was a good meeting. And Ferris Bryant deserves a great deal of credit for not getting in. Thank you, partner. You bet, thank you. Bye.
