It's 1964 and the governor of Florida is giving a press conference.

The big issue at this press conference is a new report that has just been released by the state of Florida.

And although it's been released by the state, the governor of the state is telling reporters at this press conference that he's got nothing to do with it.

It's not his report.

He didn't do it. He definitely should not be blamed for it.

First of all, it is a legislative matter.

It is not something over which I have authority even if I wanted to exercise it.

Secondly, I think you're determining whether or not it was a proper thing to do. it's this matter. He had nothing to do with this thing. But there's a public

clamor over this report. It's really all anyone wants to talk about to the

point where the governor can't quite deal with questions about it.

He ends up at this press conference kind of backed into a corner,

explaining the reporters that maybe this report won't be quite so damaging,

maybe it won't have too bad an impact, because maybe people

won't be able to get their hands on it.

He says at this press conference that the report should not be distributed generally to the public.

Now if it's widely distributed on newsstand and generally to the public I think

from what I've read about it that would probably not be proper on the other hand.

It would not be proper for the public at large to read it at least not for too much of the

public to read it. The governor even tells reporters that day that he himself has not read it.

I don't know what circulation is intended to be. I haven't read the material.

I'm confident though that the legislative committee is properly motivated and trying

whether in there or otherwise to do a good job. This might be almost 60 years ago now, but we all know this sound, right?
