H:
You know I'm all my wrestling days are all behind me. I want
very much to work with you. I've had the highest regard for you.
It's just a fact of life.
K:
And you know my feelings about you and we will - I will keep you
fully informed and the thought that you might be causing trouble
really wouldn't occur to me.
H:
I would hope that - might I just make this suggestion that if the
President's going to talk to the country as he is I know before the
campaign is over, that on this Vietnam thing that he just let the
people know that again we are working on a peaceful settlement;
that it is important that it be done right and actually, in a sense
if it's not before the election, it even has a political plus in the
sense that we're not trying to run it through for election votes,
we're trying to do it for the future and for a real lasting peace.
K:
Right.
H:
I think if he talks this way to the public it will be helpful in
reassuring.
K:
He is speaking tonight and let me see whether I can get some of
these thoughts. Well, I know I'll put them before him and I'm
sure - it happens to be his view so that I'm sure
H:
Yeh, I know that it is and in this area, you know, there is no one
else that can do it except the man that's there and it just seems
to
me that there were some people trying to pretend that he was doing
this before the election to get the votes and
K:
Hanoi trigered it, we didn't.
H:
Exactly. Now the thing that I think the President needs to say to
me as a citizen - not as Senator Humphrey - but to my wife and
my kids is that look, we're on the track, we've made progress,
everybody knows it including the North Vietnamese and I'm not
going to try to make a snap judgment that will come back to plague
us. We're doing this to get a peace, we're not doing this to win
an election. We're doing this for the future; we're not doing this
for November 7th.
