{\an8}Saturday, May 13th. {\an8}Many, many months ago, {\an8}I set March of '68 in my own mind as the time when
Lyndon can make a statement that he would not be
a candidate for reelection. For the first time in my life, I have felt that Lyndon
would be a happy man retired. I find myself enjoying more and more
every return to the ranch, and I do not know whether we can endure another four-year term in the presidency. If life can be said to have a pattern, as we go into summer,
the crescendo of work mounts. In a Rose Garden ceremony, a 58-year-old great grandson of a slave is nominated by President Johnson to be a Supreme Court Justice. He is Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall. This morning I have welcomed the members of the Commission
on Civil Disorders, chaired by Governor Kerner of Illinois

{\an8}Saturday, May 13th.
00:00:03.628 --> 00:00:05.213
{\an8}Many, many months ago,
00:00:05.213 --> 00:00:08.216
{\an8}I set March of '68 in my own mind
00:00:08.216 --> 00:00:10.468
as the time when
Lyndon can make a statement
00:00:10.468 --> 00:00:13.471
that he would not be
a candidate for reelection.
00:00:13.471 --> 00:00:15.223
For the first time in my life,
00:00:15.223 --> 00:00:19.435
I have felt that Lyndon
would be a happy man retired.
00:00:19.435 --> 00:00:24.001
I find myself enjoying more and more
every return to the ranch,
00:00:24.001 --> 00:00:26.734
and I do not know whether we can endure
00:00:26.734 --> 00:00:29.007
another four-year term in the presidency.
00:00:31.698 --> 00:00:33.783
If life can be said to have a pattern,
00:00:33.783 --> 00:00:38.999
as we go into summer,
the crescendo of work mounts.
00:00:39.581 --> 00:00:40.957
In a Rose Garden ceremony,
00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:44.024
a 58-year-old great grandson of a slave
00:00:44.024 --> 00:00:45.837
is nominated by President Johnson
00:00:45.837 --> 00:00:47.505
to be a Supreme Court Justice.
00:00:47.505 --> 00:00:50.884
He is Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall.
00:00:50.884 --> 00:00:53.344
This morning I have welcomed
00:00:53.344 --> 00:00:57.039
the members of the Commission
on Civil Disorders,
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.997
chaired by Governor Kerner of Illinois.
