Indonesia was about to go to war. Sukarno, who was the liberator of Indonesia, who the CIA had tried to kill, was about to go to war with the Netherlands. And Johnson sent my father [Robert F. Kennedy Sr.] there to try to settle this dispute, which he did. He had been made friends earlier on with Sukarno, and they had a good relationship. They ended up settling the dispute, and then he sent him on another tour to Asia to. (10:24–10:29)
