In his conversation with Russell, Johnson says he showed Chief Justice Warren a file on a trip to Mexico given him by FBI Director Hoover. What the President says next makes clear that he is referring to the trip of Oswald to Mexico and his possible acceptance of money from the Cuban government. Any revelation of this sort would make the public believe Castro and/or Krushchev were behind the assassination and make war inevitable. Johnson then lays a guilt trip on Warren saying that unless he accepts the job as the head of the commission (and helps cover up any evidence of a conspiracy between Oswald and the communists) millions will die in a war. Warren starts crying and agrees to serve.
