Yes, sir.
It's, uh, 6 o'clock.
Okay.
I'm, uh, I'm just waiting for what I have here.
I have made a couple of cuts.
I think it's 1.30.
I think 1 is a better time.
All right.
Did Henry mention anything to you with regards to the small signing ceremony for the State of the World message?
He said he was going to raise it with the U.S. and the U.S. staff, you know.
All right.
And this way, this would have a press photo, and it would provide a photo relating to the speech.
All right.
And we can do that.
I'm suggesting we do that just as you walk out the door, Mr. President.
