Well, we\ndid the same thing for Foust. We sent him Bill\nMoeller. From there we gave him Tim Austin, we gave\nhim Ed Caneer [sp?], we gave probably a half a dozen\nother guys, maybe even a dozen. Then he went about\ntaking some of the names that we had discarded, not\nbecause they weren't good, but because we'd found\nbetter. We gave him that whole package, and from that\nhe built his own advance men over there, of around\nfifty-some-odd guys. Those guys were help, were much\nmore busy than we were, but yet I was not about to\nrelease any of those guys. If there were occasions\nthat, like that kick-off weekend, that they went out\nand canvassed all around the country and stuff, where\nall the Cabinet officers and the girls went out and\neverything. He used every one of our men for that\nweekend. So he had something like a hundred and some-\nodd guys out in the various states.\nSY:\nHm hmm.\nRW: But for the most part, those were my men. And I\nguarded them and held them very close, because I never\nknew when something was going to happen.\nSY: Hm hmm.\n51"
