Yeah.
Mr. Ehrlichman, sir.
There you are.
Thank you.
Hello, Ray.
No, John Ehrlichman, Mr. President.
No, I'm talking to Ray.
I'm sorry.
John, I was just talking to Ray, and he has already talked to you about this, and we're working on some more of it, and we'll run the final thing.
But as it is now, I think lifting the lid just a little on this is rather essential in this speech.
So we've got a little bit of something new.
And I think particularly the part on research in that it fits in with the moon guys.
They're going to be there at 2 o'clock.
It doesn't bother you now?
Not a bit.
Not a bit.
I like very much the stuff he wrote.
And how about the tax thing?
The tax thing bothers George, but...
But I don't, I guess George drew his exceptions after we went through it.
Well, I don't have any trouble with it at all.
All right, fine, fine.
Okay, John.
