RW: If I had an advance man that did it, I'd fire him
faster than greased lightening. I'd say, "Sir, you'11
never do another advance for me, period." But he
called me up, Dwight and Bob and I went into his
office, in this little office on Air Force One, and he
started talking about Greensboro and what great people
they were. Then he started saying what a fine job that
I had done [unintelligible]. Good, bright young men,
what a great job had been done and how much he had
appreciated it. And he made one comment, he said,
"It's too bad that we really didn't have a tough
campaign so that your guys could have, that they could
have really done their thing. " And then Bob said,
"Sir, 11 he said, "you're absolutely correct. Ron has
put together a hell of a team. I think you'd have been
very proud had they had the opportunity to do it for
you. 11 He said, "Well, we didn't need it. 11 And I said,
"Sir, that's just as important to me as if we had
needed it."
SY: Hm hmm.
RW: Well, you know, it's probably one of the greatest
thrills of my life. But then we landed in Ontario that
night, and I probably had fifteen advance men assigned
to that one stop. That's a lot of advance men. What
we did, we broke it down into sectors. We assigned,
maybe, a five mile radius to one advance man, and he
had his own phone bank and his own handbill operation.
