The source for the first is Schlesinger's biography, hardcover edition, Volume 2, pp 911-12. RFK's suggestion went from him to King through Marian Wright. I may have left the impression it was a direct conversation.
There are two sources for the second, Schlesinger p. 912 and Martin Luther King Jr: The FBI File, p.572.
What is notable about that second source is that, at the time of the discussion, LBJ was still in the race. He had not made his public withdrawal yet.
