[0:01] Yes, sir, Mr. President.
[0:22] Well, anything new in your fund?
[0:22] Well, we had a kind of a fun day, I would say, with Arthur Burns, right?
[0:24] Yeah, oh, yeah, that was...
[0:24] He was wheeling pretty hard, wasn't he?
[0:25] I know, I know.
[0:25] That's why I let him school a while.
[0:26] Yeah, I'll tell you that I hit him.
[0:27] Oh, yes, I got all that.
[0:27] Okay.
[0:28] I put it down pretty hard.
[0:28] Arthur, please, I'm going to publish it.
[0:35] No he didn't.
[1:04] Well,
[1:34] He's not going to do that again, because I've been chewing that egg for a few times, and he's just going to try to lecture about it, and he's not going to do that again.
[1:55] So, I think the tough question is, you know, he's probably going to do something with some of these eggs.
[1:57] He's going to do it, right?
[1:57] Right.
[1:57] I'm sure he's going to do it, right?
[1:58] I have to mention, I think, there's a report today from one of the other fellows who is here at that gathering, I don't know if he's...
[2:04] I don't know, but I just wanted to point out to you that George Bell worked with me and Henry Cashman, one of the brothers I asked him to do the next one I did with him.
[2:27] He looked at me and asked me, what's his name, what's his picture like?
[2:28] And I said, no, exactly.
[2:29] And he said, gosh.
[2:52] This is one of the best years they've ever had.
[3:30] There may be more, uh, there, there could be more strength in the thing here, just to mention, you know, the, uh, the international members of the market.
[3:55] And Arthur Burns is that more effective than anybody else in the, uh, for, uh, I mean, you get one
[3:58] It may go off in the mind.
[4:17] Well, partially that, but partially...
[4:26] Oh, God.
[5:07] Well, no use in getting all that.
[5:22] It's just too much of a risk.
[5:23] But put stands on.
[5:23] Or he should have done that.
[5:24] He was the man.
[5:24] Absolutely.
[5:25] Absolutely.
[5:25] He was the man.
[5:37] Yeah, I know.
[6:06] We've got a very busy section at the beginning of the day.
[6:13] We've got to get back to you every time.
[6:44] ... ... ... ... ...
[7:17] And when you get it, you get a good retail sale.
[7:34] Send it down sort of on a basis of just a flash bulletin.
[7:35] All right?
[7:35] One like that.
[7:35] Do it that way rather than with a huge mass of material.
[7:50] Bye.
[7:50] Bye.
