[0:00] Hello?
[0:03] Hello?
[0:03] Yes, sir, Mr. President.
[0:05] Hello?
[0:05] I have to go to Camp David to meet with the Quadriad in about a half hour.
[0:10] Oh.
[0:11] So, do you have anything before we leave?
[0:13] No, I don't think so beyond what I covered with you last evening.
[3:06] Now, the other thing is, I want you to be sure, it didn't get a great play, but it got noticed.
[3:14] I want the Ehrlichman interview yesterday to be fed around, particularly to columnists and the rest.
[3:19] You started that this morning, sir.
[3:21] Because it's a good story.
[3:23] Oh, it's a very good story.
[3:25] I frankly would have expected more in the networks from it last night.
[3:27] Well, the busing thing.
[3:29] The busing thing just knocked it out.
[3:32] But nevertheless, if you could keep that one going,
[3:35] That'll be a good idea.
[3:37] Well, we'll do that.
[3:38] We've gotten the transcripts this morning and delivered them to a half a dozen columnists already, which I think that one will build.
[3:46] It's a good continuing kind of story.
[3:49] Right.
[3:50] Okay.
[3:51] We'll do that, sir.
[4:10] Thank you.
