Quote
Walt Rostow:
Mr. President, the Stennis committee is up in arms over our holding back on these bombing targets! Bob's testimony is coming up, and it'll take some heat off him if some of these could be cleared up before his appearance.
Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense:
I think I can take the heat without padding my resume with more bombing missions.
