the members a special -- of special commission are chief justice earl warren, senator richard russell, presente representative hale boggs, representative gerald ford. the president stated that the special commission is being constructed to did i wait all available information concerning the subject and inquiry. the federal bureau of investigation is making complete investigation of the facts. >> russell was justifiably fare flabbergasted. russell had told johnson he did not want to serve on this commission, he could not serve. >> mr. president, i just can't serve on that commission. it must have been a nightmare situation. but he salutes and accepts the assignment over a final protests with the president. ofnson used similar set strong-arm tactics on the chief justice. warren as thes on only man who can run this investigation. when warren gets the invitation, he turns it down flat. he says there is a terrible history of supreme court justices serving an outside investigation. he does not have the time. he thinks the commission is a fine idea but it should not be led by him. when johns

and, you know, he couldn't win richard russell over to his side, but he could maybe work some agreements, he could at least talk to him in a way that, you know, maybe whittled down russell's opposition a little bit. you know, he was that kind of a guy. and he was instrumental in making the bill stronger as it moved through the house. so the bill did not really include any protections for employment discrimination. and, of course, now, i mean, we look at the equal employment opportunity commission and the revolutionary changes it has made in the workplace both for minorities and for women, it's a signal piece of legislation in and of itself. and it's just one part of the bill. it was not there at the beginning. and it was largely because of clarence mitchell really going in and pushing the pill and then defending -- the bill and then defending that once it was added. so you have these kind of both sides pushing and pulling the bill, and i really tried to tell the story as, you know, a conflict among characters and among organizations and kind of fiefdoms within, both within the movement a

. >> you're the first to put that focus on the conversation between johnson and richard russell. he is practically begging him -- and my argument is you don't leap to 65. you'd see what he has done through all of 1964. it seemed that richard russell was saying -- lyndon johnson will find a way to get out because this will be a disaster. >> let's talk about bobby kennedy and the relationship between these brothers. jack may never have been elected president if bobby kennedy was never there. you takeequires if from that point of view is that he keeps americans in harms way, some of them get killed in 1964 just so he can get to the election and win. i'm not so sure he would have done it for that reason, but let's accept that. then you get to 1965 and he wants to get his big program through. he had post on hoping to get reelected in a landslide. 1965 is the time he's trying to on bills through congress education, poverty, housing, civil rights, is that the moment he chooses to withdraw from vietnam and take on the huge burden of americans saying you are selling out the country and so

richard russell is on it even if he doesn't want to be on it. you again, bother but i wanted you to know that i made an announcement. announcement of what. >> of this special commission. >> you have already? yes. i read ite got -- can to you. the president is reporting on facts and circumstances relating to john . kennedy in the subsequent violent death and the man charged with his assassination. the president stated that the and minority leadership of the senate house had been both special commission. the members of the special chief justice chairman, richard ussell, georgia, senator john sherman, kentucky. gerald gs, louisiana, ford, michigan, dulles, washington, mcclay of new york. it's instructed to evaluate all information.able he federal bureau of investigations making complete investigations. justifiably s johnsonasted about what had -- couldn't serve on the commission. know i don't have to tell you my emotions to you by i just that commission. i'm highly honored you'd think with it, n connection but i couldn't serve with chief justice wa

johnson and senator richard russell of georgia. he was a member of the worn commission. commission.n >> each week, "reel america" rings you archival films that helped to tell the story of the 20th century. after president kennedy was assassinated, president johnson established a commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the day headed by the chief justice earl warren. it concluded that lee hot -- lee harvey oswald had acted alone in killing the president. report, a cbs special from the day the report was released to the public. ♪ >> you're watching an official reenactment of the murder of president john f. kennedy filmed from the window where the alleged assassins crouched and are the telescopic sight of his rifle. this is a cbs news extra. november 22, and the warren report. here is walter cronkite. >> november 22, president johnson strolled kennedy was shot to death in full view of hundreds of spectators watching him in a dallas, texas, motorcade. 48 hours later, lee harvey oswald was killed by jack ruby in full view of millions of americans watching tele

mississippi senator john stenas and georgia senator richard russell actually proposed the creation ofary racial relocation commission. this would be a federal body that would encourage what they called equitable distribution ever black residence throughout the nation, right? so we're tired of being challenged on race just get them out of here. one application to the oeo from an african-american poor person in the south i think expresses the counter to that. some people who were evicted have left the county she said and have gone to other areas of the state. yet others have elected to stay in the county and help solve the problems of their native land. these people deserve the right to be given a chance to be productive citizens of their choosing. it's almost a right to be here and not have to go somewhere else. so that's one facet in the south of the war on poverty. the challenges that community action face though made it particularly vulnerable as we've seen. democratic mayors and governors and congress people very angry that federal funds are being used to challenge state and local

know, also, there was also another resistant person to join the commission, and that was senator richard russell of georgia. it was very important to president johnson to have representation from congress, not because they were going to attend all of the hearings and have an attendance record of credit, but because they would bring to the task the judgment, experience, and political wisdom that would help produce a report that would be accepted by the american people, and, indeed, the world. senator russell, however, was adamant, he did not like chief justice warren, he did not like the liberal rulings of the supreme court. about not like anything this commission and he sat there explaining to some length to the president why he could not serve on this commission. president johnson reasoned to him, appealed to their long relationship, to his sense of loyalty to the presidency, and got absolutely nowhere. thise president closed conversation, he told senator russell, "i am sorry, senator, i already announced to the press that you are a member." [laughter] that point, the senator had no choice i di

if you listen to the tapes that have been declassified and made public, he's talking to richard russell, the armed services chairman saying i don't know what to do. i don't want to go to war but i'm under pressure from congress and american people to go to war. but he didn't do that until he got a report that a second attack had occurred two days later. now, there are some very intelligence, very informed people who say the second attack involved in this and he swears it happened. i got a nice e-mail -- it wasn't a nice e-mail. a very unhappy e-mail former chief of operations who said you're wrong about it and said it happened. now i'm at the point of saying i don't know if it happened, nor do i care if it happened. we did not go to war in vietnam because of that silly incident in the gulf. communist vietnam for years had been trying to overthrow its neighbors. this is a southeast asia resolution as it was called by congress. today referred to as the gulf of tonkin resolution. and it notes the purpose is to -- the maintenance of international peace and security in southeast asia. and th
