[0:00] Yeah.
[0:00] Mr. Haldeman.
[0:01] Yeah.
[0:02] Radio.
[0:02] Hello, Bob.
[0:04] Yes, sir.
[0:04] I wondered if we got any reaction from the cabinet on those glasses and things we sent to them.
[0:10] Yeah, we have.
[0:11] I didn't see anything.
[0:12] I'm just curious.
[0:13] We have, and I guess we haven't sent the notes in yet.
[0:17] That's all right.
[0:17] I just want to be sure they got them.
[0:19] Oh, yeah.
[0:20] Yeah, they did, and we've had notes from them.
[0:23] I suppose that they're out.
[0:28] I think there's about not much more we can do, but that was something they could do.
[0:34] 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.
[0:43] Oh, sure they do.
[0:44] That's, you know, anything...
[0:50] very appreciative, that kind of thing, but there's a real question whether they're appreciative or not, whether it does any good.
[0:56] Well, it does any good in terms of the other things, right?
[0:58] And that's it.
[1:00] That's okay.
[1:02] All right, fine.
[1:02] We're seeing them, we're going to see the tree on Tuesday.
[1:06] Yeah, we'll see what we can work out on that.
[1:09] Whatever you want.
[1:09] Tuesday's fine, Tuesday or Wednesday.
[1:11] This would be a good week to get just the cats and dogs out of the way.
[1:14] Right.
[1:15] Don't you think?
[1:15] Yeah.
[1:17] And I think the idea, my idea of just bringing...
[1:20] At a half hour each, send it on the public schedule.
[1:23] Right.
[1:24] So that they are on there, you know, for a half hour each and they know.
[1:27] Yeah.
[1:27] Okay, and I'll get them and I'll run it right like clockwork.
[1:30] Okay.
[1:31] Good.
[1:31] Okay.
