 I don't know how to get this message over, but this boy, our friend Hubert, is just destroying himself with his big mouth. Yeah, all the time. He just can't stop it. He just got hydrophobia. Every responsible person gets frightened when they see him. He hasn't missed any program, or he's just like a wild man when he kind of sees this thing in the distance. And what he ought to do is be very retiring and very sober and very judicious. Now yesterday morning he went on the TV and it looks like he's got by with it, but he sent everybody and the John Chiefs of Staff and every person in town that's handling war plans, they just scared them to death because he just blabbed everything that he had heard in a briefing, just like it was his personal knowledge and almost wanted to claim credit for it. They said, for instance, how would you account for these pitiable attacks on our destroyers when we innocently out there in the Gulf, 60 miles from shore? And McNamara said that that's a very difficult thing to explain the reasoning of these people that may be that they wanted to try to scare us out of the area, but that he couldn't explain the communist thinking on a good many matters. Rusk said substantially the same thing. Humphrey said, well, we have been carrying on some operations in that area and we've been having some covert operations where we have been going in and knocking out roads and petroleum tanks and so forth, and that's exactly what we have been doing. But the damn fool got it up and now he's got Morris talking about it, who wasn't in on the briefing, and he just got to understand that you can't talk about war plans. You just can't talk about it. Now, this morning, that fellow called me very upset, one of the highest officials in the government, and said, have you talked to Humphrey about a communication from Khrushchev? I said, no. I haven't seen Humphrey. I haven't seen anybody around Humphrey. I haven't talked to my wife. I haven't talked to a human being. Well, Humphrey has discussed the details of communication with Khrushchev. I think somebody must have let him know that, and it was a correspondent in NBC. And it's the one thing that could make Khrushchev drop a bomb on him. And he just ought to keep his goddamn big mouth shut on foreign affairs, at least until the election's over. And just say that this has just got people running wild, and they're running in every moment to me. And for him not to be speculating on why the communists would be doing something.
