 Telephone conversation between President Johnson and Senator James Eastsland on November 28, 1963, at 321 p.m. Eastsland 2-1. I'm going to ask the rest of you about the situation. What's your committee plan to do on it? I didn't ask you that, and I intended to, and that is my mind, and I got to talking to it. Well, we plan to bring them, just make a... I had this feeling, I don't know, that's very confidential. I haven't proposed it to anybody, and I don't know that I would. But we've got pretty strong states' rights question here, and I have had some hesitancy to just start having a bunch of congressional inquiries into the violation of a state statute. And it might... Why do you think it's the kind of deal we have to make it up? Yeah, I know it, but you haven't gotten it low, and it might set a precedent that you wouldn't want to have. I talked to some of the fellows about it the day before yesterday. Russell was down here for lunch, and we... One minute, all right. Now, my thought would be this, if we could do it. We might get two members from each body. See, we're going to have three inquires running as it is. Well, I wouldn't want that. That wouldn't do. And if we could have two congressmen and two senators and maybe a Justice Supreme Court take the FBI report and review it and write a report and do anything they felt like needed to be done, I think it would... This is a very explosive thing, and it could be a very dangerous thing to the country. And a little publicity to just fan the flames. What would you think about if we could work it out of getting somebody in the court, somebody in the house, somebody in the Senate and have a real high-level judicial study of all the facts? Well, it would suit me all right. Now, you'd have... There's going to be some opposition on the committee from PD, and I think Derson would be all right. I don't know. He's very strong, boy. Oh, well, he... If it's all right with you, I'm not worried about your committee. I know what you can handle. You can handle your committee. Okay. Much better. Bye.
