[0:01] Yeah.
[0:02] Mr. Ray Price, sir.
[0:03] Yeah, sir.
[0:05] Ray, I'd like you to try that exercise two different ways.
[0:08] One, if you can find, say, something where there's maybe the one letter deal, but another way that could be perhaps a little more effective.
[0:18] I want to, I'm going to put in this paragraph with regard to the overwhelming public support we have had for the wage price freeze.
[0:27] And I can say that thousands of letters have poured into the White House since I made this announcement.
[0:34] These are typical.
[0:35] A union member from Schenectady wrote one sentence.
[0:39] A housewife from California.
[0:41] A teacher from Texas.
[0:43] About six or seven, something like that, you see.
[0:46] And they don't have to be people that have sacrificed.
[0:49] If they have, that helps.
[0:50] But just somebody says, or a retired person from this,
[0:54] See what I mean?
[0:57] And I think that might be very sharp and punchy, and then cover the country sort of that way, and cover the various types of the people.
[1:04] Okay?
[1:06] So that it will take a half a page or so.
[1:09] I mean, good?
[1:11] Okay.
