Part:         Session:         Page of 191

Interviewer:

You must have been pleased by the whole thing.

Perkins:

Well, I was pleased, of course, by it.

Interviewer:

What happened to the manuscript that got cut?

Perkins:

Cut by the publisher or by Taubman? Oh, I think the part cut by Taubman was literally cut--I mean, he tore out a few pages here and put them with a few pages there, out of the manuscript. I never kept it. I don't think I have any copy that could be read, but I have an awful lot of material that I have labelled “extra Roosevelt material” in which all the stuff that was cut out goes. Some of it's very repetitive though.

Interviewer:

That's all right --is it in your papers?

Perkins:

Yes.

Interviewer:

And will go up to Columbia?

Perkins:

Well, I suppose so. I haven't put it there yet. I've got a lot of extra Roosevelt stuff. It was stuff taken out of this book, Taubman literally cut it, you see. I mean, he took a few pages here and then put them with a few others, and wangled it around, and then he wrote all over other pages--you know.
