The Presidency

The problems are more diff
ficult than had imagined them
to be. The responsibilities
placed on the United States
are greater than I imagined
tn m to be. and there are
greater limitations upon our
ability to bring about a favor
able result than I had mag
ined them to be.
And I think that is probably
true of anyone who becomes
President. because there is such
a difference between those who
advise or speak or legislate, and
between the man who must Sc
lect from the various alterna-
tives proposed and say that this
shall be the policy of the
United States.
1t is much easier to make
the speeches tina n 1t is to fl
nally make the judgments, be-
cause unfortunately your advi-
sers are frequently divided. If
you take the wrong course, and
on occasion l have, the Presi-
dent bears the burden of the
responsibility quite rightly. The
advisers may move on to new
advice.
Eisenhower Advice
President Eisenhower said to
me =, There are no easy
matters that will ever come to
you as President. If they are
easy. they will be settled at a
lower level" So that the mat
tiers that come to you as Presi-
dent are always the difficult
matters. and matters that carry
with them large implications.
So this contributes to some of
the burdens Of the office of
the presidency, which other
Presidents have commented on.
1t is a tremendous change
to go from being a Senator to
being President. In the first
months, it is very difficult. But
I have no reason to believe that
a President with the powers of
this office and the responsible
tiles placed on it, if he has a
judgment that some things need
to be done, I think he can do
IL just as well the second time
as the first, depending or
course on the makeup of the
Congress. /
Some SatisfactiOns
I think that there are a lot
Of satisfactions to the presi-
dency, particularly as I say, we
are all concerned as citizens
and as parents and all the rest,
with all the problems we have
been talking about tonight.
They are all the problems
which. if I were not the Presi-
dent. 1 would be concerned
about as a father or as a citi-
zen. So at least you have an
opportunity to do something
about them. y
And II what you do Is useful.
and successful, then of course
that is Q great satisfaction.
When as a result of a decision
Of yours. failure comes, or you
are unsuccessful. then of course
that is a great setback.
But I must say after being
here for two years. and hav-
ing the experience of the
presidency. and there is no
experience you can get that
can possible prepare you ade-
quately for the presidency. I
must say that / have a good /
deal Of hope for the United
States.

The Cubo Decision

POLICY on Cuba) was ham,
mered out really, on policy and
decision, over period of five
or six days. During that period,
the is people more or less who
were directly consulted fire.
quently changed their view, be-
cause whatever action we took
had so many disadvantages to
it. and each action we took
raised the prospect that it
might escalate with the Soviet
Union into a nuclear war.
Finally. however, I think a
general consensus developed,
and certainly seemed after all
alternatives were examined,
that the course of action that
we finally adopted was the right
one.
If we had had to act on
Wednesday in the first "a
hours. l don't think probably
we would have chosen as pru-
IDENTIFY as we finally did, a quar-
antine against the use Of Of
fensive weapons.
Unexpected Power
In addition. that had much
more power than we first
thought 1t did, because I think
the Soviet Union was very re-
luctant TO have us stop ships
which carried with them a good
deal Of their highly secret and
sensitive material One OF the
reasons ! think that the Soviet
Union withdrew the IL-28s
was because we were carrying
on very intensive low level pho
Biography.
Now, no one would have
guessed, probably, that that
would have been such a har-
rassment Mr. Castro could not
permit us TO indefinitely con-
tinue widespread flights over
his island at 200 feet every day,
and yet he knew If he shot
down one Of our planes, that
then II would bring back a
much more serious reprissl on
him.
SO II is very difficult TO al
ways make judgments here
about what the effect will be Of
our decisions on other coun-
tries In this case, II seems 10
me that We did pick the right
one: In Cuba Of 1861 we picked
the wrong one.

a target with nuclear weap-
ons?
One Of the problems that we
have now is the question of
whether we should begin to put
out the Nike-Zeus system,
which is an anti-missile missile
system around this country. We
hope sometime to develop a sys-
TEN which will permit us to fire
a missile at a missile coming
towards us and destroy it, and
thereby prevent an atomic at
tack on the United States. But
1t will cost billions.
There is no sense going
ahead until that system is per-
fected. Some think now is the
time, but we are going to wait
for a further period of investi-
cation. But there isn't any
doubt that if you don't build the
BIO or you don't build the
Skybolt, this involves thousands
Of jobs. and the welfare of COM
munities, and this is one of our
toughest problems.
False Alarm
One Of the arguments for
the continuation Of the airplane
is that if you picked up missiles
coming toward you, you could
have your planes take off and
be in the air. Then if it proved
to be a false alarm, then you
could call them back. For mis-
siles, you can't do that, and the
President might have to make
a judgment in a 15-minute pc
riod, and the information would
be incomplete.
The fact of the matter is that
the United States could wait
quite long because we have mis-
siles in hardened sites, and
those missiles, even if there
was a missile attack on the
United States, those missiles
could still be fired and destroy
the Soviet Union. and so could
the Polaris submarine missiles.
So that ! don't think there
is a danger that we would fire
based on incomplete and mac
curate information, because
we were only given five or six
minutes to make a judgment.
I think the Polaris alone per-
mits us to wait to make sure
that we are going to have suf-
ficient In hand that he knows
that we could destroy the So
Wet Union. Actually that is the
purpose of the deterrent.
Once he fires his missiles, 1t
is all over anyway. because we
are going to have sufficient re-
sources to fire back at him to
destroy the Soviet Union. When
that day comes. and there is a
massive exchange, then that is
the end, because you are talking
about Western Europe. the So
Wet Union. the United States,
OF $50 million fatalities in the
first 10 hours.
Now, you could go on. II ev-
erybody aimed at cities in order
to have as many killed as pos
sible in all these communities
with all the weapons you could
fire. you could kill. and you
might be having more fire. So
that the nuclear age Is a very
dangerous period. and that is
why / frequently read these
speeches about how we must do
this and that. But / think they
ought TO just look at what we
are talking about.
European Force
We don't want six or seven
nuclear powers In Europe d.
verting their funds to nuclear
power. when the United States
has got this tremendous arse
nal. But II these countries want
TO do II. we are not stopping
them from doing II.
The question is whether the
United States should join in
helping make France a nuclear
power, then Italy, then West
Germany, then Belgium. How

U. S. and Europe

We are doing our part. Our
troops in Western Europe are
the best equipped; we have six
divisions, which is about a
fourth Of all of the divisions
on the Western front. They are
the best equipped. They can
fight tomorrow, which is not
true Of most of the other units.
So we are doing our part there,
and we are also providing the
largest naval force in the
world.
We are also providing the
nuclear force in the world, and
we are also carrying out the
major space program for the
free world, as well as carrying
the whole burden in South Wet
Nam. So the United States is
more than doing its part. We
hope Western Europe will make
a greater effort on its own,
both in developing convention
al forces, and In assistance to
the under-developed world.
Now, we can't force them to
do it. We can't say, well, il
you won't do it, we are going
to withdraw our forces and
leave Europe naked" But ]
think the United States has
done pretty we'll in carrying its
burdens, and we hope that
Western Europe, now that it is
prosperous. will do its part. We
put $12 billion in Western Eu-
rope in four years, from '4s to
'52. The amount of assistance
we have given Latin American
for the Alliance for Progress
is a fraction of that.

and 5 Republicans. Mr.. Laird's
offer presumably would give
conservatives the upper hand.
Mr.. Laird coupled with his
compromise a demand that Re-
publicans be given proportion
ate representation on commit
tee staffs and equal time in de-
bate on conference reports. The
minority party now can be shut
off from debate on conference
legislation If the majority in
sists.
Mr.. Laird backed up his offer
with figures showing that Re-
publicans constitute 40 per cent
of the House membership and
should have more than 80 per-
cent of the Rules Committee
membership.
His proposal was fatty re-
jected by Democrats who noted
that the Rules Committee
makeup additionally has given
the majority party a two-to-
one edge.
Unless someone gives in, or
an acceptable compromise is
worked out. the House appar-
emily will start off its 1868 ses-
sion with a knockdown battle
over the size Of the Rules Com
mittee.
The committee controls the
flow of legislation to the House
floor and often has bottled up
legislation its members have
felt was too liberal. Much Of
the legislation expected to be
proposed by Mr.. Kennedy to
the new Congress is in the lib
eral category and may face
tough Shedding in the Rules
Committee.
DO-NOthing Plan Offered
A possible solution being dis
cussed' on both sides in the
rules controversy Is to do Moth
ing for awhile and allow the
committee to revert to IL men,
bers next month. Should the
committee start sidetracking
Kennedy bills later in the ses-
sion, its membership could be
increased by a majority vote of
the House at any time. Some
liberals believe their cause
would be strengthened II they
could pinpoint later just where
the Rules Committee has be-
come obstructionist.
During the first month or two
OF the new session. there prob
ably will be no controversial
legislation for the Rules Com
mittee to act on one way or
the other.

He indicated a readiness to

marking that the only time a

that what we ought to do is to

u. S. Has a Right

So we have a right, it seems
to me. as we have done and
proven that we are not sun
shine soldiers with respect to
Europe itself, there isn't a
country in Europe that is put
ting, Of the countries that we
are talking about, that is put
ting as many men and as large
a proportion of its population
and its gross national product
into defense as we are.
Look at the Skybolt. The
United States has developed the
Skybolt. We put in $3.50 mil
lion into Skybolt. No other
country has put anything into
the actual manufacture of Sky
bolt. If we. completed it, the
British would have bought q
100 missiles. we would have
bought 1000. 1t would have
cost us SIS billion.
We today pay 30 per cent OF
the infra-structure costs OF
NATO. the supply lines to the
depots in Europe. 1t costs us
about So billion in our balance
Of payments.
The aid we give around the
world is-you know, the Amer
lean people are very critical
and the American press prints
a lot of bad news, because bad
news is news and good news
Is not news. so they get an i'm
preston always that the United
