 Telephone conversation between President Johnson and Senator John Sherman Cooper on November 29, 1963, at approximately 6 o'clock p.m. Today establishing a presidential commission composed of seven distinguished Americans, headed by the Chief Justice Supreme Court of the United States. I've acted after full consultation with leaders of Congress and with members of my own cabinet. This commission will be established before the end of the day by executive order. Its functions will be to receive and to evaluate information obtained by all sources. The executive branch satisfies itself. The truth is known as far as we can know it. And the report is finding the conclusions to meet to the American people and to the world. I think that's fine. Now, I want you to go on that commission. What? Yes. You want me to go on it, I'll do it, of course. Thank you, my friend. Yes, sir. Bye. Don't say a word about it. It's not a bad thing. Bye.
