[0:08] I was waiting to hear the answer on McCloy, and Henry was going to tell me after his meeting this morning, but has not yet. [0:13] He hasn't? [0:13] Well, I'll get after him and have him tell you. [0:15] What about Amidon on Japan? [0:17] He shows some interest, and I'm going to see him at 2.15 this afternoon. [0:21] And that's on Japan? [0:24] And that's on Japan. [0:25] Right. [0:25] Fine. [0:26] I've cleared that one with Connolly, and I've cleared Thayer with him, so we're all right on that. [0:29] Well, I can call Walter this afternoon if the other one... Do you happen to know? [0:33] Is the other one dead? [0:34] McCloy? [0:38] I'll have... [0:40] I don't know because I haven't seen Kissinger, but I'll find out. [0:44] Incidentally, I did check on Stuckey, and he's not tough enough, according to Clark, so we're finding another fellow. [0:50] All right. [0:51] Okay. [0:52] Good luck. [0:52] Thank you.
