>> bill moyers has refused to talk to me. >> rose: why? >> you would have to ask him that. i've been trying to talk to him for, like, 30 years. at first he said he was writing his own book on lyndon johnson. but i think that's over. and recently he's just been saying that he doesn't have his thoughts in order and he wants to get-- you would have to ask him why he doesn't talk to me. >> rose: has anybody else close to him refused? >> off the top of my head, i think the answer is no. >> rose: valenti talked. >> valenti finally-- who really attacked the first two books more harshly than anyone else, finally said basically, i see what you're doing and i want to talk to you. george christian, lyndon johnson's last press secretary, basically called-- high had lung cancer and he was dying, and he basically said to me in effect, "i want to talk to you. i've been attacking you for however many years." so i went down there and to austin, and we had three interviews. he had lung cancer. and he had an oxygen tank in his office, and the first interview he only had to use the mask occasi

bill moyers comes in, jenkins, george reed. >> rose: all those people who had served him. some had gone on, like moyers, but others had been working for him as vice president. >> but a small staff. the reality and what he says in his memoirs is, "i knew i had to keep them with me." and, you know, they laughed among themselves. they said he says to everybody, "i need you more than he needed you." but what they didn't realize was that this was a genius. he tailored that to arthur schlesinger the greatest historian. he said, "john kennedy knew history like you do. i don't know history. i need you for history." for someone else he said something tailored and they all stayed. >> rose: when did he begin to reach out to mrs. kennedy to comfort her? >> well, constantly. from the very-- you know, from the very beginning. >> rose: a telephone call here "what can i do?" they had to plan the funeral. >> he does even more than that. that very night-- you know, i said that night is remarkable. he gets back to washington, and there's so much on his plate. there's a memo there from budget

i think it's "moyers and company." he helped to organize peace corps. he was press secretary and a close confidante of lbj, publisher of "newsday." when bill called me, i was working in the pentagon. when bill called me and said, you've got to come over here and work at the white house. i said well -- he said no, it will be fun. bill, i never knew what fun was until i started working for lyndon johnson. and last our moderator, bob schieffer. he is the cbs news chief washington correspondent. moderator of "face the nation." all of you who rue the fact that "face the nation" is only half an hour. it is going to an hour beginning in april and we look forward to that, bob. he's covered all four major washington beats. the white house, the state department, the pentagon and capitol hill. i think he's proudest of all, he said once, of the fact that his university, texas christian university, has named their school of journalism, the schieffer school of journalism. bob? [ applause ] >> we have i'll turn it over to bob. but first -- this is linden johnson talki

. >> i called up the white house and bill moyers took my call. and i said, do you think you could arrange for me to see the president. and without thinking about it, too long, he said, yes, you can. you want to come tonight about 7:00. the very same night i thought he would say it would be a week or so before we could get to you. but that was the way the johnson white house functioned. it's the way the president functioned. so i walk in there that night, it was the first time i had been in the oval office, and i have to confess, i was kind of overwhelmed. with the atmosphere. and johnson is a big man. he got up and he took hold of both of my lapels here. and he, he stood up, he was two or three inches taller than i was. he got his head way back like this. and i was looking right up his nostrils. and i learned later this was called the nostril treatment. and he said, now, george, i know why you're here to talk to me. i had joe rau in here the other day. and he wants me to just pull out of there today. get our troops out of there. you know i can't

bill moyers. [ applause ] one of our -- one of our country's most prolific and respected journalists. a 40-year run on public broadcasting with a new series this year, i think it's "moyers & a company." he helped organize the peace corps. he was press secretary and a close confidante of lbj, publisher of newsday. when bill called me, i was working in the pentagon. when bill called me and said you got to come over here and work in the white house. and i said well -- he said, no it will be fun. bill, i never knew what fun was until i started working for lyndon johnson. and last, our moderator bob schieffer. he is the cbs news chief washington correspondent. [ applause ] moderator of "face the nation." all of you who rue the fact that "face the nation" is only a half an hour, it is going to an hour beginning in april. and we look forward to that, bob. he has covered all major washington beats -- the white house, the state department, the pentagon, and capitol hill. i think he is proudest of all he said once in the fact that his university, texas christian university has named their schoo

i might have carried two states instead of one. [ laughter ] >> bill moyers, what was it like to just work for lyndon johnson? >> you had to run just to stay up when he was walking. he never stopped. he was consuming in his passions and his objectives and demanding, but he never asked more of us than he gave himself. it took 12 of us, 10 of us i think there were in the white house to just keep up with him. he was 13, as i've said before of the most interesting complicated men i have ever met. and playing his moods and reading them and trying to integrate them and advance an agenda that all of us had a part of was really a demanding task. it was exhilarating. i was exhausting. it was rewarding and it was sometimes punishing. but you always were satisfied that the result made the effort worthwhile. >> evan, how did he know so much? he seemed to know everything about everybody. >> well, j. edgar hoover helped him. [ laughter ] he was a sponge of political intelligence. today big controversy over these political intelligence firms that looked for the intelligence. lyndon johnson got it in
