Kennedy Library HACKMAN: In the interview that you did with Bobbie Greene [Roberta W. Greene], you talked about the first time you came across JFK being at, I believe, the western governors’ conference back in Las Vegas. Anything that strikes you about that first pick-up with him and then the subsequent trip to California, or Oregon or whatever, that I think you took with him. VANOCUR: That’s not quite the first time I came in contact with him, I suddenly start to remember, I was in Chicago and I went to Midway Airport where Kennedy and Nixon [Richard M. Nixon] were on the same plane. It was a United Airlines plane and one was going to Denver--I can’t remember which one was--and the other was going somewhere else. They posed together, shook hands, and I can’t recall, but I have the instinct that Profiles in Courage was out at that time--I can’t be sure--but somebody posed with the other guy, whether it was Nixon with Kennedy or Kennedy with Nixon with a book, and I can’t think of Nixon’s book at the time, because I didn’t know there was one, or some book that Kennedy had been reading. And I can’t remember whether it was ‘58 or ‘59. My instinct was it was ‘59. But the first time I met Kennedy was not the western governors’ conference. I filmed in there in February, I believe, of 1960. But I took the film back to Los Angeles and originated it that weekend, my guess is for a Sunday show. And Sunday night and/or Monday--I can’t [-1-] remember which one it was--I went to Vegas [Las Vegas, Nevada] where Kennedy had gone for a couple of days en route to Oregon. It was after the western governors’ conference at Westward Ho Hotel in Albuquerque, and he was there. I think it was the Sands [Sands Hotel] or the Dunes [Dunes Hotel]--I can’t remember which. I think it was the Sands because the “Rat Pack” was playing--Sinatra [Frank Sinatra], Lawford [Peter Lawford], Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dean Martin. And I remember the occasion because--I think it was a Monday or a Tuesday night--Joey Bishop put his arm around Sammy Davis and said, “Whatever happens, senator, you’ve got the Jewish vote.” And then he also said -- Bishop that is, said, “Senator, if you get elected president, I’ve got one thing to ask from you. Don’t draft me.” And that night--whether it was Monday night or Sunday night, I can’t remember--it was the first time I met Kennedy because he was wandering around the craps tables. We came just face to face, and I introduced myself, and I thought--I could be wrong--that he wanted to shoot dice. He looked longingly at the tables, I thought. Also that night Hy Raskin [Hyman B. Raskin] was playing, perhaps with Salinger [Pierre E. Salinger], and I think, under Raskin’s great expertise, Salinger rolled a hell of a hand. That’s the first time I met Kennedy. HACKMAN: How did he react to or interact with the “Rat Pack?” How well did he know some of those people at that point? Or how did he relate to them? VANOCUR: I don’t really know. He reacted like any kind of electric personality would react to that. Roosevelt [Franklin D. Roosevelt], I remember as a child, used to have all the stars in to the White House for Christmas. Kennedy in a sense, like Roosevelt, was a star in his own right. But I had no inside information one way or the other. HACKMAN: But the comment, for example, by Bishop, was while Kennedy was in an audience or while.... VANOCUR: Kennedy was sitting right down front with six reporters. There was Mary McGrory, Blair Clark, I think Bob Healey [Robert Healey], a guy from U.S. News and World Report named Bob Ruth [Robert W. Ruth], I think, me, and that’s about it. Maybe one or two others, but it was a very small contingent. Kennedy was sitting and laughed because he loved that kind of ironic humor. HACKMAN: Let me ask you, just before we move on, what kind of relationship, if any, he really had with Blair Clark. It’s a name I heard mentioned as an old classmate or whatever. VANOCUR: Was a Midwesterner, born in Cleveland, went to Peoria and then Northwestern, I don’t know about this Harvard University b.s.

By sharing such resources, the states get more for their educational dollars. They can use college programs which already exist and do not have to establish duplicate programs in each state if such duplication is not needed. Also, the states and the institutions can jointly plan and establish new educational programs according to the needs of the region. * >I< * The Board is composed of the governors of the Southern states, ex officio, and four persons ap­ pointed by each.
