[0:00] Hello?
[0:01] Yes, Mr. Butterfield.
[0:03] Okay, yeah, I guess when you get him, you can go ahead and put it through, and he'll take it right here.
[0:07] In fact, I might as well... Yeah, I'll stay on.
[1:11] No.
[1:40] No.
[1:40] No.
[1:43] Thank you.
[2:13] I'm just wondering how we're coming.
[2:28] I can't see.
[2:29] They're getting him up as the second secretary.
[2:31] Thank you.
[3:08] Mr. Butterfield, they're telling me he's left this number, and in two or three minutes we can reach him at another number.
[3:15] Okay, well what you should do, as soon as you can reach him, it's quite the sooner the better, because we're trying to get him before he goes to a press conference, and that may be where he's going.
[3:22] Ring me on my phone, and then I will come in and get the President's phone.
[3:26] We can transfer it to here, and then I'll go in the Oval Office and bring the President here.
[3:31] He wants to take it in his private office where I am.
[3:33] Yes, all right.
[3:34] All right?
[3:34] Do it that way.
[3:35] Thank you.
