we'll tell a little story about it.

Q:

How long a period had they studied this situation?

Lasker:

Oh, I don't know. They'd been doing it before the election. Isn't that amazing?

Q:

You see, you dropped some sort of a seed even before that time.

Lasker:

Well, I don't know. I think it may have been Goodwin. I must ask Goodwin how did that develop, because I really thought it was my conversations with Mrs. Johnson, but he really had a real task force on it. The ideas ere very similar to mine. Isn't that extraordinary? And not from people that I knew.

Q:

Well, the time is ripe for this development.

Lasker:

Evidontly. Thank God.
