The group sat down to continue their conversation.
President Johnson smiled and said, "Everywhere we go, the public is very enthusiastic. Honestly, I'm a bit tired, but I'm full of energy."
"I think you should be extra careful about security now. I remember President Roosevelt was almost assassinated during a speech in Miami," Hardy cautioned.
Buckley nodded. "Hardy's right. I remember it was in 1933 when a man named Zangara fired five shots at President Roosevelt. Luckily, none of them hit. We can't afford to make the same mistake."
Hardy suggested to the President, "You still have three more speeches in Miami. How about I have HD Security send over some additional personnel to beef up security?"
President Johnson looked around at the others. "Do we really need that?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. There was no harm in being extra cautious, especially during such a critical time. Who knew if someone desperate might try something?
