you said--just beyond reach and Henry this has been haunting me
the whole weekend to relate this experience--evidently the communists
do business the same way--because the only way it was finally solved
at the end of those seven months is toward the end of the 7th, we
finally awoke to what was going on they they were just going to keep
on negotiatingand striking and stalling ad infinitum to the place where
we just finally said to hell with it--there is no further distance we
can go at all and they are either in or out of the motion picture
business and that's the way it's going to be and the way it round
wound up was they were out of the motion picture business and those
unions to this day are still out of the picture business and we WX just
closed it out and went to work and kept the studios going.
HK:
Yeh.
RR:
And tax I just couldn t help but tell you this because they like meetings
Maybe this is all useless in view of all the facts that you have but I
had to get it off my chest.
HK:
No I appreciate this--I want you to know incidentally, we have resumed
bombing North Vietnam today.
RR:
Ahhh
HK:
And after it hits the press-- won't for a couple of hours--anything
you could say supporting us would be appreciated.
RR:
Oh listen-
in
HK:
I am assuming you are/agreement with it.
RR:
Last night we had a party and couple of people got me in a corner and
said look just play if I were king, what would you do right now if you
were there--and I said I'll answer the question but on one condition
that you recognize we don't know the facts that the President and
Henry have--I said -granted that if things are as they appear in the
news--if there are no circumstances about which we don't know--if
they are just the way they look, I said I°d put the biggest fleet of
B-52's they'd ever seen and just blow the hell out of the section of
North Vietnam and just keep eyeballing them, making no more
concessions and let this happen day after day until finally they recognize
the only thing to do is put down the paper and sign this thing.
HK:
Well that's what we are doing.
RR:
Wonderful--it brightens my day.
HK:
I was afraid you'd oppose it.
RR.
