Yeah.
Mr. Colson, sir.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Have you any report on Burns in New York yet?
I didn't get a firsthand report.
There is a wire service story which came out.
Apparently he was quoted.
I have it here in my folder.
It talked about, unfortunately, it talked about inflation.
Yeah.
Saying we're going to look at.
Yeah.
Well, hell, let me see.
Oh, that's all right, if he says we're going to lick it.
Well, the thrust of his remarks, Mr. President, I'm just trying to find it, what we took, but I thought I brought it home.
Well, the main thing is the effect on those people, not the public.
Why don't you check around and see how it affected that audience there, whether he gave them reassurances on liquidity, et cetera.
Right.
I will.
I'll call somebody who was there.
I can get an account from him tonight.
Oh, here it is.
I'm sorry.
I do have it.
The wire service.
I don't want to be bothered with that.
All right.
Well, let me get a first-hand report from someone.
That's the important thing, as you know.
And would you like me to call you back with that tonight?
Yeah.
Fine.
All right, sir.
I'll call now and then get back to you.
All right.
