[0:04] Yeah.
[0:04] Mr. Ehrlichman, sir.
[0:06] There you are.
[0:06] Thank you.
[0:07] Hello, Ray.
[0:09] No, John Ehrlichman, Mr. President.
[0:10] No, I'm talking to Ray.
[0:12] I'm sorry.
[0:14] 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.
[0:22] But as it is now, I think lifting the lid just a little on this is rather essential in this speech.
[0:30] So we've got a little bit of something new.
[0:32] And I think particularly the part on research in that it fits in with the moon guys.
[0:38] They're going to be there at 2 o'clock.
[0:40] It doesn't bother you now?
[0:42] Not a bit.
[0:43] Not a bit.
[0:43] I like very much the stuff he wrote.
[0:45] And how about the tax thing?
[0:46] The tax thing bothers George, but...
[0:48] But I don't, I guess George drew his exceptions after we went through it.
[0:52] Well, I don't have any trouble with it at all.
[0:54] All right, fine, fine.
[0:55] Okay, John.
