[0:03] Is this a different line from the line on the President's desk?
[0:07] No, this is the main number, 500, that's supposed to be right on his desk.
[0:11] Oh, I see.
[0:11] Well, he wants the call.
[0:12] When Governor Holden's call comes through, he doesn't want it in his local office, so I'm going to... Let me check his project.
[0:17] Well, you know, Mr. Butterfield, I had him on the line, and Chapin's office told me that he couldn't take it, that they'd have to call back.
[0:23] No, Chapin's office, I'm ahead of them on this one, so...
[0:26] But you might hold it, because I want to find a line that is not in his office.
[0:29] Of course, he can pick it up back here, can't he?
[0:31] Yes.
[0:31] All right, well, just hold one more second.
[0:33] Yes.
[0:33] All right.
