Johnson's [[White House Press Secretary]] [[George Reedy]] told an interviewer: "A great deal of the president's difficulties can be traced to the fact that Walter had to leave. ...  All of history might have been different if it hadn't been for that episode." Former [[United States Attorney General|Attorney General]] [[Ramsey Clark]] said that Jenkins' resignation "deprived the president of the single most effective and trusted aide that he had. The results would be enormous when the president came into his hard times. Walter's counsel on [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] might have been extremely helpful."<ref name="LBJ's Gay Sex Scandal"/>
