Yeah.
Mr. Haldeman.
Yeah.
Radio.
Hello, Bob.
Yes, sir.
I wondered if we got any reaction from the cabinet on those glasses and things we sent to them.
Yeah, we have.
I didn't see anything.
I'm just curious.
We have, and I guess we haven't sent the notes in yet.
That's all right.
I just want to be sure they got them.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they did, and we've had notes from them.
I suppose that they're out.
I think there's about not much more we can do, but that was something they could do.
I think that Woodley Rumsfeld theory is probably a pretty good one in regard to them anyway, but I think some of them appreciate it anyway.
Oh, sure they do.
That's, you know, anything...
very appreciative, that kind of thing, but there's a real question whether they're appreciative or not, whether it does any good.
Well, it does any good in terms of the other things, right?
And that's it.
That's okay.
All right, fine.
We're seeing them, we're going to see the tree on Tuesday.
Yeah, we'll see what we can work out on that.
Whatever you want.
Tuesday's fine, Tuesday or Wednesday.
This would be a good week to get just the cats and dogs out of the way.
Right.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
And I think the idea, my idea of just bringing...
At a half hour each, send it on the public schedule.
Right.
So that they are on there, you know, for a half hour each and they know.
Yeah.
Okay, and I'll get them and I'll run it right like clockwork.
Okay.
Good.
Okay.
