DOCUMENT INSERT: 3/13/68. Bug-extract transcript. Marked: "Confldential"/ "Stage-1 Covert" /"Eyes Only": Director, SA D. C. Holly.

Location: Office/Mike Lyman's Restaurant/Los Angeles/listening-post-accessed. Speaking: Charles "Chuck the Vice" Aiuppa & Bernard "Nardy" Scavone, organized-crime associates. (Conversation 6.8 minutes in progress.)

CA: It's what you call a coalition. Bobby's the president, but he needs the head ape to mobilize all the little apes and put him in power.

BS: Do the arithmetic, Chuck. They don't have the votes.

CA: Then you add the Jews, the college kids, the comsymps and the welfare creeps. It gets to be a very tight race with those forces in play.

BS: Bobby scares me. That I will readily admit.

CA: Bobby needs the head ape to create the unrest. Then he comes in and promises all the fucked-up people the moon.

BS: Bobby would fuck us, Chuck. He'd fuck us like he fucked us when he was AG and Jack was the prez.

CA: Bobby's only happy when he's got some made guy's dick in the vice.

BS: Watch it, Chuck. You say "vice," you give me these urges.

CA: Control yourself. There'll be more. Uncle Carlos has always got work.

BS: I'd like to put the head ape and Bobby in the vice. One squeeze and arrivederci.

Location: Card room/Grapevine Tavern/St. Louis/listening-postaccessed. Speaking: Norbert Donald Kling & Rowland Mark DeJohn, paroled felons (Armed Robbery/Bunco/GTA) & presumed organized-crime associates. (Conversation 0.9 minutes in progress.)

NDK: This is rich. I grab the pay phone this morning and who do I get?

RMDJ: Jill St. John?

NDK: No.

RMDJ: What's her name? That cooze with the go-go boots.

NDK: No.

RMDJ: Norb, shit-- NDK: It's Jimmy Ray. He starts talking shit and says he joined a French cult in L.A. He dives muff and gets sucked off all day, and he needs money to support all his slaves, and did I know if there was a time limit on the bounty, 'cause he's got his hands full with his slaves right now and he don't know when he can get free.

RMDJ: That is hilarious. Jimmy's got his hands full, all right.

NDK: One hand, at least. At Jeff City he'd geez meth and jack off for two days at a pop. He'd read these fucking pussy books and orbit. He said the fucking pictures were talking to him.

RMDJ: Jimmy's got delusions of grandeur.

NDK: Yeah, but he hates niggers.

Location: Suite 301/El Encanto Hotel/Santa Barbara/listeningpost-accessed. Speaking: Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Paul Horvitz (senate staff mbr.), Unidentified Male #1. (Conversation 3.9 minutes in progress.)

RFK: . . . simple and matter-of-fact. That's the way my brother announced. (Pause/3.4 seconds.) Paul, you time the statement. Read it aloud, but don't try to imitate me.

(Laughter/2.4 seconds.) PH: About the position paper. Do we publish-- UM #1: You want the abbreviated version, right? The long form's too dense, and the press guys will have to cut too much.

RFK: Condense it and let me read the final draft. And be damn sure there's nothing in there about organized crime.

PH: Sir, I think that's a mistake. It undercuts your credentials as Attorney General.

UM #1: Bob, shit. You know you'll go after those guys ag-- RFK: I intend to, but I don't intend to broadcast it.

UM #1: Shit, Bob. Good foes make for good campaigns. The war and Johnson are one thing, but-- PH: The Mob's dead as a campaign issue, but-- RFK: I'll do what I do, when I do it, but I'm not going to broadcast my intentions. Think "social justice," "end the war" and "unite the country" and forget about the goddamn Mafia.

PH: Sir, do you think-- RFK: That's enough. I've got enough on my mind without worrying about those sons-of-bitches.
