[0:00] Hello.
[0:07] Yeah, hi.
[0:10] How are you, sir?
[0:11] I got a call from Marge Ackerman.
[0:15] She said you'd want to know what cabinet members called.
[0:19] I didn't know what it was about.
[0:20] Yes, sir.
[0:21] I took the calls from the cabinet members.
[0:24] Of course, we've got five overseas and seven out of town.
[0:25] But Conley called from Texas.
[0:27] John Mitchell called from...
[0:29] Kentucky.
[0:30] He's down at the governor's house there, and I guess Rosemary's with him.
[0:35] And Red Blunt called from Alabama.
[0:39] Yes, sir.
[0:39] Yeah, he thought it was great.
[0:40] He had all kinds of plaudits for you and wanted very much to get through.
[0:46] In fact, he helped for you.
[0:48] And then Hardin called, and Richardson and Romney.
[0:51] Now, sir, I wasn't going to be here in the morning, and I've got one bill that needs to be signed.
[1:01] I guess we could get you to sign it right after that breakfast, unless you wanted to sign tonight.
[1:13] I don't suppose you do.
[1:14] Bring it over.
[1:14] Bring it over.
[1:15] Just loop them over.
[1:16] All right, sir.
[1:16] Yeah, or I'll get Huntsman to do it if I'm not going to be there.
[1:19] Sure, sure, sure.
[1:19] Okay, that's good.
[1:20] Thank you.
