Green Parlor where McIntyre was, saying to him, “For heaven's sake, McIntyre, what is this?”

He said, “I don't know, but I'll tell you something, if you want to know. He's also asked to have Donald Richberg here at ten o'clock and Hugh Johnson. They're all asked for ten o'clock. I don't know which of you he wants to see first, or what, or why,”

I said, “All right, but this is a pretty mess. What happened the day the President saw Johnson?”

He said, “All I know is what I read in the papers about it, but the President thinks he told him he wanted him to go. I don't know what they said to each other, but the President thinks that he told him that he wanted him to go - to Europe or to any other place. But you saw what Johnson told the press. That's, I guess, why the President has you all here.”

I said, “It's pretty presumptuous to put me in. Did anybody mention to the President that it was putting me in a bad spot?”

He said, “That's his look out, and yours - not mine.” I got no sympathy from McIntyre.

In a minute in came Richberg. Richberg saw me there to his surprise. He said to McIntyre, “What does the President want to see me about?”
