| Wiley G. Slaughter: |
[I] have never been opposed to the belief that
the press has the right to print or broadcast everything it
knows, I simply maintain that they don't have to know everything! |
| ----- |
| Wiley G. Slaughter: |
The biggest threat exists from those among
us who spout the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as though
they owned them! |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
This panel, which intends to give every appearance
of being bipartisan, will be ever-mindful of the President's
instructions to dig down as far as we can, no matter how high
up that might take us. |
| ----- |
| Wiley G. Slaughter: |
[T]his country will be saved in spite of it's
principles. |

| Sen. Folsom Bouting: |
"[T]et: the Movie," dealing with the Viet Cong
offensive, in which our B-1 bombers proved helpless against
their godless 10-speed bikes, because Congress had not shown
enough gumption to allow surgically selective air strikes
against the enemy's most residential districts. |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
May I ask the Senator to kindly stop raking
over dead horses? |
| Lance Boyle: |
And, may I remind the Senator of the Major's
familiarity with the Tet offensive, having led his command
in several historic assaults on that occasion, including one
against his own men. |
| ----- |
| Rep. Sydley Sellers: |
Did the President know of the Masterplan plan? |
| Maj. Manley Battle: |
I was told he didn't know. |
| Rep. Sydley Sellers: |
By whom? |
| Maj. Manley Battle: |
The same people that told him he didn't know. |
| ----- |
| Rep. Oral Proctor: |
I don't intend to take up any more time than
I will. |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
[T]hose who forget the past are certain to
be subpoenaed. |
| ----- |
| Maj. Manley Battle: |
I'm history Mr. Chairman. I certainly can't
make any of it sitting around here. |
| ----- |
| Able Lamb: |
[I] was immediately informed that Mr. Slaughter
had passed away as a result of dying. |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
[W]hat did the President know? And, does he
have any idea that he knew it? |
| ----- |
| Able Lamb: |
[I] felt I had a higher obligation to do whatever
I was ordered to. I'm aware that that's not an alibi, but
I know you'll agree, it is an excuse. |
| ----- |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
[H]ow many people, who were present, were at
that meeting? |
| Able Lamb: |
If you include me, there were two. |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
There was one other person. |
| Able Lamb: |
Besides the one, me. Yes, sir. |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
You and someone else. |
| Able Lamb: |
I got the figure by crunching the two numbers,
sir. |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
And, in the person of whom would that other
person have been? |
| Able Lamb: |
We're speaking of names? |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
With any luck at all. |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
Even though a few of the Members of the Committee
have not been able to get away from a roll call vote on the
floor of the House, I am advised that since enough of us are
not all there, we can proceed with these proceedings here. |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
[B]revity is in the ear of the beholder. |
| ----- |
| Courtleigh Bishop: |
[M]y involvement was strictly limited to the
extent of my participation. |
| ----- |
| Sen. Archer Bowman: |
Thank you, Senator Bouting, for your most objective
presentation of your own point of view. |
| ----- |
| Rep. Sydley Sellers: |
[I] happen to think that Major Battle was the
President more often than we'll ever know. As well as, Secretary
of State, of Defense, of God knows, of Secretary of whatelse
and whatever! Many a world leader has played with toy solider;
what we have in Major Battle, I believe, is a solider who
plays with toy leaders! |
| ----- |
| Able Lamb: |
I'm not cleared to have that kind of curiosity,
sir. |
| ----- |
| Foster Child: |
My name is Foster Child, Mr. Chairman. I'm
with the law firm: Friar, Pastor, Priest, and Pope. |
| ----- |
| Marry Chase: |
There's a great deal of milling about in the
hearing room, Chip. |
| Chip Chatworth: |
Milling seems to be right on schedule, Mary. |
| ----- |
| Shepherd Hunter: |
Will you tell the committee how it happened
that not one of the inventory items belonging to M.P.I. was
ever, nor to the present day, in time--up to now--has still
not ever been, liquidated? |
| ----- |
| Courtleigh Bishop: |
No one else was in a position "not to know"
as much as the President did. |
| ----- |
| Steward Butler: |
There was mostly no one there who actually
was. |
