[0:00] Mr. President, I have Howard with me now.
[0:05] Oh, I see.
[0:05] Fine.
[0:06] I wanted to tell you one thing.
[0:07] Are you ready to talk?
[0:09] Yes, sir.
[0:09] Fine.
[0:10] I just had a letter, and it's just worth considering, from Tom Buehler.
[0:16] You know who he is?
[0:17] Yep.
[0:18] And he's sort of a big wheel in the Los Angeles bar, and he said that he thought I should know that she would get a bad rap from them.
[0:28] I don't know.
[0:29] I didn't understand that, but she said that.
[0:32] That could very well be because of the composition of the bar.
[0:36] Yeah, but the Los Angeles bar, and he was opposed to it, and Earl Adams, of course, is.
[0:43] So I just want to throw those things in, that there's apparently quite a backfire building on the other side.
[0:50] I believe they were in the bar because they were positioned on this criminal law, which is anything else.
[0:56] Well, the other in Adams would be a hardliner.
[0:58] He just doesn't like Mildred Willie, I guess.
[1:01] Probably so, in the concept of the woman business.
[1:05] Right, right.
[1:06] Well, we'll see what the buyer may take us off the hook on the damn thing.
[1:12] You can rest assured, because all of those inputs will be going into it.
[1:16] Mm-hmm.
[1:17] If that's the united front out there is distinguished from a limited number.
[1:22] You haven't heard from Powell yet?
[1:24] Not yet, but expect to shortly.
[1:27] How does this one look?
[1:29] Have you opened it up with him yet?
[1:30] Yeah.
[1:32] We're at the exploratory stage.
[1:34] Right, right.
[1:35] Okay.
[1:36] I'll get back to you as soon as it gets ready.
[1:38] Bye.
