About wilbur mills. Mills told me that by the end of this week, he thought he would have something in shape to come down and discuss with you that he could present in the way of a packet that could be of interest. I told him i had read some articles lately that were a little bit disturbing that indicated something that was happening on the medicare and, indeed that, well, you know better than to the attention to those stories, and i said, i agree with you, wilbur. I just wanted to be reassured and he said, you know you cannot Read Everything you want, and this bill ultimately it has to have the mills stamp on it, and i said well, the president s view is that whenever you want to talk to him, that door is just wide open. He is happy to see you, and he said you just tell him again, as i told you lately last week that just as soon as i am ready to sit down and be able to present think to him that i could spell out that would make some sense and that would represent what would be of intere

Instructions well get licked on that too. The only judgment i can make at this point is that mills will certainly try every device he can to get an agreement on a conference that would include king, reluctant as they might be because hed hate like hell to be on the house side of a conference where he and two republicans vote against two democrats to come out with a conference report. And geez, he starts ill speak some business right now. You talk to ill talk to you as soon as i get out of these independent businessmen. My thought would be that if we could get mills to agree that we would take it in confidence that would be fine. If not i would try to instruct the conferees. No, at the moment i share that view. But i do think this, that with the stories around the country today, weve got something going on this damn thing. And god almighty, i hate to see that leadership join with mills as some kind of a wrapup that screws us quickly. Well, i dont think they will until we decide it. All

They finally got congressman curtis. And he was doing it sometime today. Doing the taping. Well, and that is very, very interesting. Im so grateful to you for doing it. And i want to thank you again for your wonderful help in the campaign. Thanks for calling. Ill try to be worthy of your confidence. Ive got great confidence. Thank you so much.

Wrote one of our newsletters and it suddenly occurred to me that for people ,ow who are our age then vietnam is to them, chronologically, what world war i was for us. But not know about you, world war i did not weigh heavily on my imagination at all. The question is, why is vietnam still weighing on our imaginations . It is not so hard to understand. Faults of the ken did touch on it the fact that it is an unresolved question in this society. Hopefully when we have that discussion later this afternoon ,e will talk about the ways intentionally or not, it has opened the door for far more discussion. First, the editor of the vietnam 1967 series. [applause] thank you so much and thanks to i believe there are a few people who contributed here in the audience to our project. In a truncated version in the paper tomorrow, and oral history of the march on the pentagon. Obviously i was not there. Maybe it is obvious.
