[0:04] Oh, Mr. President?
[0:07] Yes, sir.
[0:08] I've got three bills and an action paper.
[0:11] Let's just leave them over there.
[0:14] I'll come over and sign them tomorrow.
[0:17] Do you have to be signed tonight?
[0:19] Well, Henry's anxious for the action paper tonight.
[0:21] What is it on?
[0:21] It just has to do with converting some extra funds to the Israelis, and the State Department believes we should do it.
[0:25] It's in the amount of $50 million.
[0:26] All right.
[0:26] All right.
[0:27] Let it go.
[0:27] Can I get your opinion on that?
[0:28] Yeah, that's okay.
[0:28] The bills we can do in the morning.
[0:30] That's fine.
[0:31] The action paper's irrelevant.
[0:33] Right, just because at the end of the fiscal year they were excited.
[0:37] George Schultz claims he needs 30 seconds on the telephone with you.
[0:40] I can't call him tonight.
[0:44] Okay, sir.
[0:45] All right, and one more thing.
