Now, Wheeler, the other Chiefs,
Westmoreland are fit to be tied,
as you know, and now this
from Ambassador Taylor.
You might send Mac Bundy to Saigon
to have a talk with him,
I'd make another trip myself,
but I'm in the middle of the defense
budget right now.
I don't want to see the word
Vietnam in that damn budget.
You know I'd do that if I could.
In fact,
it's becoming increasingly difficult
to conceal--
Bob, all I want to know is this:
What's it gonna take to get
Ho Chi Minh to quit?
That's all I wanna know.
Mr. President, it's clear to me now
that the answer
in the air
and if that doesn't work
on the ground.
This is the decision you
are going to have to face,
Mr. President and as I said,
very soon I'm afraid.
Keep me up to date, Bob.
Turn that thing off.
Yes, sir.
Cut out the gobbledygook
and sex it up.
Maybe Goodwin aughta
take a crack at it.
Goodwin's got three months
of assignments.
Oh, I just put the last of those
on your desk, Mr. President.
I'd be glad to look it over
if you'd like me to.
All right.
Put the music to it, Dick.
Jack, I want you to tell him
to stop taking credit
Absolutely, Mr. President.
All right.
Come on, out you go.
Schedule me a hair cut.
Surely.
And see if you can get
Clark Clifford here for dinner.
Converting from Protestant
to Catholic is a big step.
Actually Lyndon took it
better than I did.
I was quite surprised.
Well, both you and Daddy
changed your religions.
From one Protestant denomination
to another.
It was a matter of convenience,
and schoolin and
I don't think religion should be
a matter of convenience.
And this is a private matter, Luci.
You're finishing up at Texas,
aren't you, Lynda?
Next year, Ma am.
you know.
The actor?
Yes.
With the tan?
And your sister may consider
that a private matter, too.
Oh, mother, you must be joking.
Come on now, damn it,
what's the reason this time?
I don't have the qualifications
to be CIA director.
I decide the qualifications.
You had all the qualifications to be
Attorney General, didn't ya,
Yeah.
Yeah, and here I am stuck
with a friend of his, Katzenbach.
He's excellent.
Ah, well all right you told me
your interest is foreign affairs.
Well, that's where I need your help,
foreign affairs.
What is CIA but foreign affairs?
I think my skills would better serve
you in foreign policy,
Mr. President, not foreign intrigue.
I hear you billed a million dollars
last year,
First lawyer in the country
to do that. True?
Well,
that's what five percent came to.
