And none between him
and the crowds on the sidewalk.
When a Soviet motorcade
passes a 10-story building...
...there's a separate agent
to watch each floor.
Now, in Jack's motorcades...
inside of closed cars.
- They can't see a damn thing.
- And they're paid less than the FBl.
They only have target practice
twice a year.
And they're often used
And most of their intelligence
comes from other agencies.
Which means they get very little.
The FBl doesn't give much to anybody.
And Hoover, he doesn't like Kennedys
any more than we do.
The CIA?
After the Bay of Pigs, its director
and his deputy were forced to resign.
The mood of the agency
may best be described as bitter.
Are you trying to tell me
people in the CIA and FBl...
...are going to help with this project?
No. James, how many
government intelligence agencies...
...do you have personal knowledge of?
Fifteen. Maybe 17.
And how many private companies
act as fronts for American intelligence?
- Private? Maybe three or 400.
- Including six or seven of your own?
What one agency
finds inconvenient to do...
...may be very simple for another one
in the same area.
So you see, there aren't nearly as many
secrets as an outsider might imagine.
I can see how that could happen.
Even after a man leaves
the government service...
...he still has ongoing relationships...
...with the various intelligence outfits
he's left behind.
Yes, I can see that too.
It's that ongoing relationship
that gives him access to information.
He receives it because he's trusted.
And that's the way we receive ours.
Yes? Oh, Charlie.
Is that so?
I see.
Yes, of course
- Yeah.
- Thanks very much, Charlie.
- Quite all right.
- Bye.
Bye.
A conspiracy will make us
look like a banana republic.
We don't have them.
That's what we pay
our intelligence agencies to prevent.
They'll deny a conspiracy
down to the last man...
...on some crazy damn fool
who did it all on his own.
- Who is the crazy damn fool?
- He'll be provided.
Charlie McCadden
just called from El Paso.
Governor Connally
just left the president.
And they made a private agreement...
...that he will make a political pilgrimage
to Texas to woo votes.
Probably in the fall.
There ought to be a better way
Have you researched the man's
private history?
- Thoroughly.
- Letters from the State Department?
Harold, if you'll forgive me...
...we're way ahead of you.
If we could find some way
to discredit him...
...believe me,
we would have done it by now.
Gentlemen, the hour is getting late.
