D: All Americans will remember the powerful presence of this man
K: No, no, go back to the beginning of the statement.
D: The passing of General deGaulle reminds us of qualities that make
men and nations great. His was the quality of character that enables
men to surmount the greatest obstacles, to refuse to recognize defeat
and call off reserves with courage that turn defeat into victory.
K: Leave out to refuse to recognize defeat.
D: HIs was the quality of vision that could see the grand sweep of
history at a time when most men focused only on the events of the day.
Because Charles deGaulle had his vision of history and because he
had the determination to turn his own vision into reality he could act
in a way that changed the course
K: That sentence goes, too.
Hyland: We can fix that up.
K: You can't fix it up, just take the goddamned thing out and put in what
I just gave you.
Hyland: Alright.
K: But then don't put anything out until you read it to me again.
Hyland: Yes.
K: I don't care what Ziegler says, Al.
H: Alright.
K: He is not my boss.
H: Oh, no, that's alright.
K: And if he has to wait a half an hour -- he's got to wait a half an hour.
We are not going to make laughing stocks of the world out of us, with a
pompous statement. All we need is five or six sentences.
H: That's what I thought in the first place.
Hyland: Okay, let us do another draft.
K: Do a quick draft, will you? Good. Thank you.
