 Mr. President, he's in the Senate dining room and he's coming right up. He wanted to talk to you from another telephone. Alright. Well, it's your home free. I got your note here. Nobody's in the room when I talk to you, and I read that story, and I thought it was just a friend of my friend talking too much up there. I thought you just... That was your way of expressing it, because I didn't feel like I was giving you an uncertain tale. I was just trying to clear it out. I didn't either. You just talked when you ought to have been listening. That's the problem with all of us, Scott, with dogs and everything else. Well, yes. I read the story, and it looked like it came right from you, and you just said, oh, God Almighty, I just caught hell. No, I tell you, wasn't the only person... There's nobody here that... I've got a diary, and it shows that Senator Kennedy came in three minutes after I talked to you, but he wasn't in the room and no one was in the room with me. And I wasn't giving any uncertain tale anyway. I was just clarifying, and I wanted to be awfully careful that they liked the lady. I think you could get by with repealing the goddamn bill, but I think if I have changed one comma, Gloria Richardson's already gone out here at some of the Justice Department's indication and said she has no confidence in me. And that's what they're doing, and I don't want... I want to be awfully careful, and that's all I was saying. I understand that, but I'm not being critical of you without... I know it, but I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you. I'm trying to build you up. I think you're the greatest man in the world. And I'd be the last man in the world to say I ever correct you about anything. I might say you corrected me, but nobody in this office did, and you didn't come from here. And you better just check and see who was in your own office, or if you told somebody that you just caught the devil, or you were sweating because Johnson kept you late, or I saw a story, and one of them said that you held up your ears like a beagle had been a hold of you, and said that they had a debate in the press corps whether you were cupping your ears trying to hear them or holding them up like a beagle dog. Exactly, of course. And of course they got it wrong on the beagle dog. All I've done is holding the beagle up so he could get to front of his picture instead of his ass. They got his ass for ten days here, and I want to show him a good, well-formed head. And besides one of the hound dog barks, I don't want to get in the paper on this, but that's his pleasure. Well, let me just say the only person that I mentioned that you and I had talked to was Roy Wilkins. Well, that's Roy Wilkins. And I did this because I wanted him to know that anything that might have been in the paper in reference to you was the only client... Well, he's probably trying to correct it to help both of us, but it hurts you, and so I don't want to do it. I don't want to do anything I can't do. They want McCarthy coming in here to take a bunch of pictures and look, I told them to send him on in. Well, do that, and I'm not worried, but I don't want you to ever think that I'm not... I don't want to help you. Well, I know you wouldn't. I just thought that something... I was told by one of the... Senator Kennedy, I talked to you at 12-11, and he came in at 12-14. That's what our diary shows, and they have me tapped. They have everything I do. I can't even hold up a dog without getting in the paper. Go on, you're going to make any progress? Well, we're going to start meeting on Tuesday with Mr. Berkson and see what he has in mind. We had quite a little session around here today going through all the possibilities, the pitfalls of the arrangements between the House and the Senate, in case this bill is amended over here, but we'll do the best we can in these meetings. I've tried to make it crystal clear around here that we've got our job to do with what your position is. We know what it is. We'll just go ahead and do the best we can. God bless you, my friend.
