[0:00] Yeah.
[0:02] Mr. Colson, sir.
[0:03] Yeah.
[0:03] Yes, sir.
[0:03] Have you any report on Burns in New York yet?
[0:06] I didn't get a firsthand report.
[0:08] There is a wire service story which came out.
[0:11] Apparently he was quoted.
[0:14] I have it here in my folder.
[0:17] It talked about, unfortunately, it talked about inflation.
[0:22] Yeah.
[0:23] Saying we're going to look at.
[0:26] Yeah.
[0:27] Well, hell, let me see.
[0:28] Oh, that's all right, if he says we're going to lick it.
[0:30] Well, the thrust of his remarks, Mr. President, I'm just trying to find it, what we took, but I thought I brought it home.
[0:38] Well, the main thing is the effect on those people, not the public.
[0:42] Why don't you check around and see how it affected that audience there, whether he gave them reassurances on liquidity, et cetera.
[0:52] Right.
[0:52] I will.
[0:53] I'll call somebody who was there.
[0:57] I can get an account from him tonight.
[1:00] Oh, here it is.
[1:02] I'm sorry.
[1:03] I do have it.
[1:05] The wire service.
[1:06] I don't want to be bothered with that.
[1:08] All right.
[1:08] Well, let me get a first-hand report from someone.
[1:11] That's the important thing, as you know.
[1:13] And would you like me to call you back with that tonight?
[1:17] Yeah.
[1:17] Fine.
[1:18] All right, sir.
[1:18] I'll call now and then get back to you.
[1:20] All right.
