"Williams, I'd like to discuss something with Mr. Hardy. Can you help me get in touch with him?" President Johnson asked.
"Oh, of course, but may I ask, Mr. President, what do you need to discuss with Mr. Hardy?" Williams inquired.
"I hope that ABC can arrange an exclusive interview program for me. I'm wondering if that's something Hardy could facilitate," President Johnson replied.
Major General Williams, having spent a long time in the political arena, naturally understood the significance of the President's words. "Mr. President, I'll contact Mr. Hardy for you right away."
"Thank you. I'll be waiting for your response."
After hanging up, Major General Williams had many thoughts racing through his mind. He knew that the President's situation was not good, with a very low approval rating, and that Johnson was seeking supporters everywhere.
But would Hardy support President Johnson?
