THE
WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
LBJ RESPONSE IN BOLD
August
31, 1965
9:10
pm – Tuesday
MR.
PRESIDENT
Eunice
Shrive and Bill Manchester have both called me.
Subject:
The book on the four days of the assassination written by Manchester and
approved of by the Kennedy family.
The book
is almost complete.
What is
needed to finish it is:
a.
The
transcript of air radio traffic between Air Force One and Andrews during the
flight back. I have read it. Nothing of great political import. [Hand written notation by LBJ] Don’t have it
b.
Notes
transcribed by Homer Thornberry and Cliff Carter. Dorothy Territo has these
notes. I have not read them. [Handwritten notation by LBJ] above “b”] Don’t
have them.
Mrs.
Shriver is anxious that Manchester have this material made available to her.
[Handwritten notation by LBJ] I’m not under any obligation to Manchester
ACTION
RECOMMENDED:
1.
That
Abe Fortas read over the notes, and the Air Force One traffic. [Handwritten by
LBJ] No
2.
I
will call Manchester back and say we are now checking to see if this material
is releasable. [Handwritten note by LBJ] No
3.
After
Fortas has read the material, we will determine what final action will take.
[sic]
Is this
procedure okay with you: YES______ NO________ [Very large check next to NO]
