Hello?
John Andrews?
Yeah.
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
She's finished that rough draft.
There are several things that are not quite clear that you can see.
Yes, I've just looked through the copy just now.
And I don't think you've got the last page yet with the anecdote on it.
To John Brown.
No, she said she'd bring that over.
She's bringing it right now.
Now, I think probably if you could take it now, when do you think you could have something you'd want me to see?
Because I can be available any time.
Well, I think that 9 o'clock at the very latest because... Say 8.30?
Looking through it quite quickly, it's just a matter of smoothing, not changing very much.
Smoothing and organizing better and so forth.
And putting in a couple of other things, and maybe it isn't long enough quite.
So shall we say 8.30 then?
I'll wait for 8.30, yes, sir.
And I'll be back here.
Fine, I see you'll be.
All right.
