 Senator Russell calling in in one hour. Mr. Moment, please, Mr. Senator. The press will be right with you. Senator? Yes. Thank you, sir. The business who whipped me down so much, I didn't bring a shirt. I got a few little things here. I didn't even have them up here. I've seen them. Why did you get in such a rush? Well, I just don't know. You'll take another hour and go and get your clothes. But it hit Kennedy first because he wanted to hit Connelly and went through him. Didn't couldn't yell evidence and cross-examine all of them. But I did read the record. And so I just, I don't know. I was the only fellow there that he put my own views down. He's got you pretty good report. Well, what difference did make Quicks-Bullet got Connelly? Well, it don't make much difference, but the commission believed that the same bullet that hit Kennedy hit Connelly went shot and knocked his head off. Next, when he leaned up against his wife's head, not even wound up. Well, he didn't miss completely with that third shot. According to that, he not only missed the whole automobile, but to put two bullets right into Kennedy, he didn't miss that whole automobile. What is it? What's the meaning of the whole thing? What does it say? George will get it to him. He meant history and all. I don't think you'll be displeased with it. What was surface craft? I had a warning shot. I imagine these guys are pretty nervous. And they don't want us to get a ship sunk. And they, some kind of surface craft, they don't. People talk so big and wind up with so little. This last attack, they pulled me positively. They'd had nine torpedoes launched. And then I got one point. Well, McNamara says today, they got the proof now. They got it from communications and intercepts and everything else. There's no question of what they fired from six to nine. But we had a big round about that today at lunch. And I said, I'm just tired of these damn fellows getting scared to death. And they just remind me of a woman that's having to change the line, thinks everybody walks in the room trying to rape her. And I want to get some better evidence. And now you're getting before I move. And do you think I'm going to start bombing the hell out of these migs on the airports? Why are you going to have to get me something to show that somebody shot at me? And they haven't been able to do it. So I've held it up all afternoon. And now they come in tonight and say, well, they agree that my hunches and instincts are probably better than their information. But they do have the poor destroyer commander. He says he's convinced in his own mind that this electronic thing is accurate. And there was some kind of ship he's shooting at. And he believes that he might have hit one of them. But he can't find any debris or anything to prove it. And the question of what he's shooting at is whether they've shot at us or not. Well, we have no information at all that they ever shot at us. And we are not so damn sure that these many ships, he might have been shooting at a whale for all I know. I've read all the reports. And I just finished it. And I started calling you when they were trying to shove me a little bit. And I held it up. And now they all agreed we ought to close up for the night. And it's weather's closed down. And they can't get any more stuff. And everybody, the admirals, and all the joint chiefs, and even LeMay, I don't think's ready to go bombing tonight. And they let Payping live another night. They saw these ships moving the radar, indicate surface crafts are moving toward them. They fired to warn them. And they just kept coming. So then they fired. And they thanked you. They sunk one of them. But they don't know. They just disappeared on the radar. They didn't fire or explode. No, no, no. You can't hit one. No little autopilot. That's right. It looks like it. I mean, yeah, but it's loaded up. Looks like it. Looks like it. Looks like it. That's what I pointed out to them. But they didn't see any of that. See any of it. So we're just going to close down now and let it go for a while. I just, I don't know about that. I just think those fellas got to understand, Mr. President and the fellas, 8,000 miles from home up in a strange bay, it don't take much to get him on. I know that. I know that. I just mean, I don't care how cool his nerves are. I'm not imputing any lack of stability to the people who are there. They have never been any brave man in out in the war. That shot a lot of times at a bush or something. He thought it was any of me about to attack him. Well, you've got to share it. They got up a list of counties that in your disaster area, I don't certify any of them. Your state does that. Well, for any of this disaster, things Sheriff gives out an interview said they didn't have anything but one bent to TV antenna. So that's a hell of a reflection on the honesty of the sovereign state of Georgia. And we even know who the Sheriff is. The paper companies, the paper companies have, and there's nobody left out, man. I guess we just ignored it. I thought I'd tell them a call to government, tell them back, I don't want to be in the middle of it. I just stress, I just declare that it's a loss. That's all I did. Now, this male's fellow, this banker that you know, I asked you about the other day. Males Lane. Males Lane. I found out today they had a, on the list yesterday for me to name the communication satellite board, which is the most important thing that I've got to name and it got to be shrewd and smart and able and tough and honest. And they just like you are on the Warren Commission. And so they had this fellow's name on there. So I started seeing where it came from. I asked if you had called up, urged anything, said no, but said Talmadge had. The Talmadge had called Walter Jenkins a couple of times, but Walter hadn't put it on the list. But Ralph Duncan, Kennedy's man, came in and said that this is a top fellow and he ought to really be on it. And you know how Morrison, all of them are going to raise hell and I don't know a thing about it. He was up one of my meetings and as I remembered it, you told me that he was a great friend of Talmadge's and the governor's now. Now we haven't heard from the governor. I've got to talk to the governor, I guess. But I didn't want to do it. The governor will be for him. There's no question about that. Well, is he a Russell man? No, so he never has been. I don't want to be important to anybody that's not going to be for you or that's caused you any problem. Well, he's more of a Talmadge man. Oh, he's red hot for Talmadge. They say Talmadge has never shown any interest in anybody around here, except this one he's called on through. He puts up a whole lot of what he wants him to do. And you know how that, unless you make some commitment to him, he don't come in. And I just never have to say, you know, telling him how much money he put up in hermentale and his campaign or in, uh, Sanders' keep earning Sanders' campaign. As a matter of fact, he's got a note now. Pretty good authority for $190,000 worth of leftover in the last campaign. But Mills Lane is a capable man. And, uh, he's not quite as stable as I'd like to have him. He's a little flighty. Because he inherited all his wealth from his father, who was one of the truly the state. But he's a man that demands a lot of adulation. And I just never have been much of the Salem kind. But he's a good man. And I certainly have many objections to your point on that commission, if Herman and Carl want him on that. I haven't talked to Carl. I don't know what he wants for Herman. And the Herman had talked to me. Herman has called. He's called. Come on, he does that. Well, you told me the other day when you said something about him coming up for one of my meetings that, uh, I believe he's on a small business list or the bankers list or something. And, uh, uh, you told me that he was, you told me that he was friendly. But, uh, Herman hadn't called me. He's talked to Walter and he didn't want to bother me, I guess, to talk to Ralph Dunn, you know, the staff. Now, the next fellow's on it's named Rubel, who's Assistant Secretary of Defense, uh, under McNamara. And I never heard of him. Walter Jenkins, Rubel. Are you BLE? Yeah. Uh, you know, he must be one of those deputy secretaries of defense. They said he was very able from California. And, uh, I thought maybe he ordered. I don't know if I'm confirming that. He ordered him on him, man. Well, I can't keep up with all those deputies. McNamara got a small army of them over there. And I can't keep up with them. I think I know that most of those have been confined, but there's only 23 of those. And there must be, uh, uh, all 35 or 40 of these assistant, uh... Well, he's going back to California now. I mean, or point him. Well, he's, I don't know, thinking about him. Mills Lane is an honorable man, a highly honorable man. He likes to be recognized. He demands he be, uh, petted and shown some attention. But he is, uh, almost fantastically loyal to people that he thinks, uh, show him the, uh, the attention he deserves. The only time I went to Vanderbilt, I asked my political advisor and he's a candidate for governor. Lane got him up there and said, now I'll, uh, put up any money as necessary that you do run and, uh, go. But, uh, you've got, uh, you do that so and everything. You know, and he came to me and said, I never asked you any advice, but would you promise to do this? I said, no, I would not. But I'm not telling you not to, because that fella can hurt you. I said, but he can't support your opposition. So you and the more, uh, in that position, I'd be, and I'd just tell him that you and your friend do what you could for him. He couldn't make any definite promise. And he did, but he came on to do it and supported on him. Instead of the last man that ever offered to give me any money, and had any money, died the other day and he was your friend too. Though he didn't believe in a damn thing you believe in. Who was that? Charlie Daniels. Yes, bless his heart, and he did give me money. Did he? Yeah, 1960, he gave it. I'm rather surprised to hear it, but, but he's, he died the other day. I saw it. I wrote his wife a letter and he gave me $10,000 in New York.
