Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I have had extended conversations with Mr. Hoover, first with his son who talked for him over the phone right after I took the oath as President, and later with President Hoover personally."

"This is, in any case, inappropriate when innocent human lives are at stake."

"I will not presume to judge the root causes, or rights and wrongs as between Cypriots of the two communities."

"I want you to report these targets to me promptly."
