 Hope I'm doing all right. I'm trying it. Well, I think I think we're getting on fine. Do you like it? Yes, sir I like anything that I do it. I can do well We got a little problem the biggest problem we have In the Alabama situation They was communicating with George Wallace He apparently has his own very Strongly held positive views on just how this thing ought to be handled and The sheriff is pretty Rough in his operations and And They're going to have another march tomorrow And as we see it, it's going to go from bad to worse. We don't know what program he has to eliminate it We don't know really don't have the answers here. We have some ideas and we It would improve the situation a good deal if if we could speak freely with him and With a confidence in each other But we have nobody could do that. Do you think that you have that much standing with him? Mr. President, I talked with the George. I guess ten minutes Friday about that legend bill I called him about that legend bill and we got off into various conversations told He was most friendly and wanted me to tell you other than for a free textbook bill And he had coming up in the Senate tomorrow. He would definitely be here for the signing of the bill My relationship with George has been very good But you can't trust him you talk to him. You don't know what he's gonna say that you said and all of these things But I can talk to him anytime But it is an element of danger there in talking with Joey. You think he believes you You trust me yeah, I think what I do then is to call the attorney general and go over and sit down with him I want his convenience to him today and His feeling is that Well, he can go over it all with you better than I can but I would explore it cautiously and carefully and not get in not dash into anything just Without thinking it through pretty pretty well, but it seems to me that That you this might be a possible approach that you could say governor We are very concerned with what happens as you know, and they want us and troops in They say if we can send them into Vietnam we can send them in to protect Americans have been a hundred of them being beat up here and of course we You know how our feeling about sending troops as we've shown that we're not very anxious to get in that business but The three judges down there that might give an injunction today to stop the sheriff from fearing with a The registration he won't let him get up to register and then he Is pretty brutal with them. I know the whole background and I know the whole situation As I say George and I have been in contact along and I can talk to him on a friendly basis But he's a kind of president A gentleman was present that I'd like to have somebody sitting with me because Well, you can do it with a turn general. I just I turn I take my conversation with him so they'll Turn general the reins that but then you might I think if he let him march a little bit I don't think it had to mark the 50 miles down the highway but if they had any parallel roads that they could march on or Or Some things that way are by planning or arranging or agreeing some way where it didn't affect Trafficking and didn't in danger lives John Dower is down there. He's pretty level-headed fellow. We had 20 30 full of FBI man there yesterday One of them got beat up pretty bad and I believe by one of the state troopers and one of the private citizens and Things of that kind but I rather think I don't know but my guess is it might be three or four things that could explore with With the attorney general one of them would be prevent them to March a part of the way or two would be Seeing if they couldn't get some local citizens to sit down and talk to them where they could Where they could exchange views a Short of clubs where they could maybe try to Talk and see if they couldn't get some kind of agreement that they'd carry out the court order and local citizens would Would Talk to them about it as they did in Florida and as they have in other places Part part partial March may be an exchange views Other things whatever other alternatives it might be maybe a couple more attorney general gold room and if any of them appeal to you as offering in the practical hope You might call always just say now. I'm gonna talk to you about this thing. I'm here because I I come from Tennessee and I know the situation Some of them talked to me about it and they've asked my advice. I won't give them advice I don't want to be giving you advice but before I do before I talk to General and others I'd like to explore some things I thought of and see George what you think about it and See if there is any way that we might find a solution it would be acceptable to the local and state authorities and that might stop some of this stuff or that we might be able to work with and It's hopefully important to not get out till we talk the other side too And we don't have any control over either side, but we sure don't want to get a position where we have to send in troops make it worse. I just thought I'd exchange views with you something like cat without getting Them thinking we're trying to run his business at all, but we're trying to help him because that's what we're trying to do So I will if you don't mind you call the attorney general secretary and tell her that Where you are and that the attorney general is present talk to you and his turn general He's afraid to see you anytime today that you'll be you'll come see Okay, thank you
