and i had never studied the kennedy assassination. you know, of course, i knew of it but with didn't know much about it. what i knew was that when i used to go through the blaine house for be christmas eve, down in the their basement they had these great photographs of jerry with lyndon johnson and eisenhower and kennedy, and i was always fascinated by that. but being 12 years old at the time or 16 years old, i didn't ever really feel comfortable asking him about it. so working on this book i feel like i got a rare window into history like to one else has. >> was this your first book? i know you've billion a journalist for -- been a journalist for most of your professional life. >> yes, this was my first published book. >> i could tell where you were leading me, and sometimes when you read books like that, you don't -- it's kind of annoying. but with your book i was enjoying getting there. i knew what you were leading to, an emotional moment, and it was enjoyable to follow along with how that trail wound around. how did you decide to w

i haven't been with the kennedys. i saw her in 1968 at the funeral of senator robert kennedy, and i talked to a few times on the telephone because the intra- shiite inactivity surrounding their children. and that was the extent. >> all three of you i assume spoke with many of the current and former agents at the time about this project. how did those conversations go? what kind of responses did you get, especially from those who would not speak or participate in this project? >> there were, i started off really by calling gerry blaine's wife, and gerry had passed on and he was our agent in charge. i talked with her, told her that i was thinking of doing that, the second person i touched base with was floyd. surprising probably too many of you, but we never discussed the assassination with each other. after the assassination occurred, there was no trauma counseling precocious an awful lot of work to do. so we were left to do the work. and our working life was 60 hours a month over time on average. i think i calculated i

as the archive characterized this here is what kennedy was arguing. the carter administration is trying to distort the peace-loving ideas behind leonid brezhnev's proposal. the atmosphere of tension and hostility is being fuelled by carter. the carter white house is sheeting public opinion with nonsense about the soviet military threat and soviet ambitions for military expansion in the persian gulf. what is so john dropping about this is according to this, kennedy is concerned about rising tensions and blaming it not on the soviets but again on the president ahead wind house. who is jimmy carter? we have carter on the cover of the book kissing the brezhnev. carter was anything but hard on the soviets. he was very accommodating. june 1979, carter kisses leonid brezhnev at the indiana summit and six months later talk about the trade with a kiss carter is in the white house celebrating christmas and get news the red army just invaded afghanistan. and just three months after the soviets invade afghanistan, kennedy is concerned about rising cold war intenti

then they get to the core of the offer. kennedy proposes the following. and they give three different steps here, but basically what can be believed, according to this document, what kennedy believed is that the soviets wanted peace, and is increasing in cold war tensions was the fault of reagan. and the soviets needed help in better team in getting their peaceful intentions to the american media and to americans, generally. because as this letter says, lesley, reagan was good at propaganda. so you need to figure way to get around reagan's smokescreen propaganda. so how do you better communicate directly to the american people? kennedy is very impressed, his exact words, very impressed with and drop off. not impress with reagan, very impressed with others. so they argued from kennedy would go to moscow, they were the soviet leadership, even talks upbringing senator mark hatfield, a liberal republican, within. they would talk to them, they would help arrange for soviet needed to it in united states, basically a kind of a public relations door in the united
