00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
What did you say?

2
00:01:01.220 --> 00:01:09.780
The word wasn't vetoed. It was put up to me through the Secretary of State that such flights would be a good thing to be made.

3
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:12.400
And the Secretary of State and I turned it down.

4
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:15.000
Why was that, sir?

5
00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:17.020
Because we didn't think it was right.

6
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:18.480
When was that?

7
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:23.540
Oh, it was in the 1949 or 50s. It's been a long time ago. About the time you were born, I guess.

8
00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:28.120
Why did you turn it down, sir?

9
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.580
Because we didn't think it was right. That's all. That's all there was to it.

10
00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:35.340
What specifically was it? Was it over Russian territory?

11
00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:44.520
Over Russian territory, you know. Over Chinese territory. And anywhere else we thought we ought to find things out. And we just decided that wasn't the way to do it. So we did.

12
00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:45.640
Why did it want to do it?

13
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.840
Oh, I don't know. Some fell back there in the State Department and thought he was smart. There are a lot of them like that.

14
00:01:52.840 --> 00:02:00.120
Sir, are we being naive then, thinking that espionage is not a part of the legitimate government's activities?

15
00:02:01.220 --> 00:02:09.520
Espionage is a dirty deal and has to be done by somebody. But I wasn't going to be a party to it. Put it down that way. That takes care of it.

16
00:02:10.040 --> 00:02:13.640
Well, then, Mr. Truman, do you feel that President Eisenhower was wrong in assuming responsibility for what he did?

17
00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:22.540
I don't know anything about why President Eisenhower did what he did. And I'm not quoting him or saying anything about what he did. That's his business, not mine.

18
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.860
I took care of it myself under the same circumstances, and that's all I can talk to you about.

19
00:02:28.380 --> 00:02:35.660
Mr. President, may I ask this then? If you didn't want to be a party to it, did you still feel that it was necessary that it was done by a robot?

20
00:02:35.660 --> 00:02:39.920
I did not. I did not. I thought it was necessary. And I still think so.

21
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.080
I still think so. I still think so.

22
00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:44.220
Do you think you're playing the likes of a star?

23
00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:45.520
I say I still think so.

24
00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:51.120
Mr. Truman, it might be some confusion here. Are you talking about...

25
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.260
Well, you're usually confused. Now, let's not confuse you. What is you want to know?

26
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.120
All right, well, I know you and your man can do it.

27
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:56.980
Oh, do and no.

28
00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:03.200
Are you talking about all kinds of espionage or just about the flights?

29
00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.200
Over this territory under the circumstances which they were made. That's all.

30
00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:11.600
You didn't mean to say that...

31
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:17.100
It's all sorts of espionage. And I never want to know anything about it because that wasn't my business.

32
00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:19.160
But it went on during your administration.

33
00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:22.160
I suppose so. I say I suppose so.

34
00:03:23.700 --> 00:03:25.540
Be sure to get that suppose in there.

35
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.020
Do you have any reports coming to your desk about...

36
00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:33.880
I had all sorts of reports about what was going on in the various cultures, but where they got them I didn't question.

37
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:35.960
I guess you didn't want to know about it at all.

38
00:03:36.440 --> 00:03:42.100
I didn't have anything to do with the dirtiness of spying on other people. I don't like it.

39
00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:45.180
And I don't like it personally or individually or any other way.

40
00:03:45.420 --> 00:03:45.820
Well, how did you...

41
00:03:45.820 --> 00:03:49.640
I think these things behind the wall here, if you got any here, well, I hope they're working.

42
00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:52.660
You did like yours.

43
00:03:52.660 --> 00:03:58.560
If you'd shut off the airplanes when the rights got through inventing one, where would we have been?

44
00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:01.000
That's the answer to your question.

45
00:04:01.340 --> 00:04:07.000
Mr. President, President Eisenhower got a note today and the other day that the time in competition

46
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:19.780
re-evaluated the whole conflict of interest problem because he said there's a lot of good men and good women too that have been kept out of the government because of strict application of the conflict of interest.

47
00:04:19.780 --> 00:04:26.120
There can be no too strict application of the conflict of interest. You can right-actually correct today as to what's there.

48
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:31.340
Mr. Truman, on the subject of domestic politics, how's your candidate doing? Your presidential candidate?

49
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.580
Oh, he's doing all right.

50
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:36.640
Would you care to assess the relative strength of the Democratic candidates?

51
00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:39.460
I can't give you an assessment because I don't know.

52
00:04:40.140 --> 00:04:45.360
I'll tell you more about it on the 11th day of July when the Democratic convention meets.

53
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:53.600
You know, I don't like prophecies on what's going to happen at various times politically.

54
00:04:54.200 --> 00:05:00.160
And neither do I care what the posters do. They never come out correctly. West Virginia is a shining example, if I'm not mistaken.

55
00:05:00.440 --> 00:05:02.360
What do you plan on doing for November 11th?

56
00:05:03.300 --> 00:05:04.360
That's my business.

57
00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:08.740
Do you think that Senator Kennedy has 600 votes, as he says?

58
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:12.360
I don't know. How do I know? I haven't counted.

59
00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:21.800
I'm going to try to get him nominated, and that's all I can do.

60
00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.700
What have you done so far outside of the door?

61
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:27.980
Well, I've endorsed him. I say I've endorsed him.

62
00:05:28.200 --> 00:05:32.120
Are you making any other campaign speeches for him before the 11th of July?

63
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:36.260
I'm not making campaign speeches at the press time.

64
00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:38.940
Any chance that you're going to be there?

65
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:42.340
No. No chance in the world. I'm too old to be there.

66
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.180
There's an old lady chasing me. Her name's Annie Dominar, and I don't like her.

67
00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:50.580
If she'd just turn the clock back instead of go forward, I'd be all right.

68
00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:53.440
Do you accept these four and a half votes?

69
00:05:53.700 --> 00:05:54.140
All right.

70
00:05:54.140 --> 00:05:56.420
Have you been healthy for the country or the party?

71
00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:59.420
I have no comment to make on anything Mr. Stevenson had to say.

72
00:06:00.200 --> 00:06:05.020
He's responsible for his own remarks, and you'll have to interpret them yourself. I'm not going to need to interpret them for you.

73
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.140
I see you're running for your concerning the article from local agitation.

74
00:06:08.700 --> 00:06:11.100
I haven't heard from him at all.

75
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:19.540
I've heard some remarks that you fellas quoted, but whether he said them or not, I don't know, because I don't approve of everything you say.

76
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.940
One last thing.

77
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.520
Hold it up. Hold it up.

78
00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:27.760
Thank you for your patience.

79
00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:29.820
Now hold it up. Go.

80
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:31.200
Well, here.

81
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:32.780
Just a cover.

82
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:34.060
There it is.

83
00:06:34.900 --> 00:06:36.120
Why were you...

84
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:37.660
All right. Fire away.

85
00:06:38.380 --> 00:06:39.420
Give you both sides.

86
00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:41.100
Now, shoot.

87
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.820
Get your cover, and then I'll give you the inside where it tells what it is.

88
00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:47.300
It's not your first picture on the cover.

89
00:06:48.140 --> 00:06:48.900
Just look at the cover.

90
00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:50.100
Shoot.

91
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:51.980
Look at the recording.

92
00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:55.780
What am I going to tell them about it?

93
00:06:56.280 --> 00:06:57.060
Go on and buy it.

94
00:06:57.820 --> 00:06:59.860
Hey, don't make such a quick one.

95
00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:00.660
Oh, is that right?

96
00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:01.400
That's right.

97
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:03.920
Oh, yeah.

98
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.040
I'm sorry.

99
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:08.040


100
00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:12.120
I'm sorry.

101
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.380
I'm sorry.

102
00:07:16.640 --> 00:07:18.040
I'm sorry.

103
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.180
I'm sorry.

104
00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:20.240
I'm sorry.

105
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.080
I'm sorry.

106
00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:21.700
I'm sorry.

107
00:07:21.700 --> 00:07:22.760
I'm sorry.

108
00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:23.120
I'm sorry.

109
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:23.280
I'm sorry.

110
00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:23.280


111
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.000
I'm sorry.

112
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.640
I'm sorry.

113
00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:26.640


114
00:07:30.900 --> 00:07:31.000
I'm sorry.

115
00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:33.000
I'm sorry.

116
00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:35.540
I'm sorry.

117
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:35.540


118
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:36.480
I'm sorry.

119
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:36.600
I'm sorry.

120
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:37.020
I'm sorry.

121
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:37.420
I'm sorry.

122
00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:37.480
I'm sorry.

123
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.400
I'm sorry.

124
00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:38.400


125
00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:41.940
I'm sorry.

126
00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:41.940


127
00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:41.940


128
00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:41.940


129
00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:42.040
I'm sorry.

130
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:42.080
I'm sorry.

131
00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:42.600
I'm sorry.

132
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:42.680
I'm sorry.

133
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:42.680


134
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:42.680


135
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:42.680


136
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:42.680


137
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:42.700
I'm sorry.

138
00:07:42.700 --> 00:07:42.800
I'm sorry.

139
00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:42.960
I'm sorry.

140
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


141
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


142
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


143
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


144
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


145
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


146
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


147
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


148
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


149
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


150
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


151
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


152
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940


153
00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:42.940
