[0:00] Yeah.
[0:01] Mr. McGregor.
[0:03] Hello, Clark.
[0:04] Yes, Mr. President.
[0:04] What's the report down there on that Boland thing?
[0:07] We're confident that we're going to defeat it.
[0:11] When will they vote?
[0:12] Should be within the next hour, Mr. President.
[0:15] I see.
[0:16] Estimated about 7.30.
[0:17] Can you get it up or down on that, or are they going to modify it?
[0:20] Howard Robison of New York, unfortunately, is insisting on offering a substitute proposal, but we're going to try and get that cleared away so as to get the up or down vote that you wanted.
[0:30] What if we could just get it on that?
[0:32] Oh, yes.
[0:33] The Bullen Amendment is so unconscionable.
[0:35] That's right.
[0:37] It's unbelievable.
[0:39] Well, if they do, let me say, I hate to have it happen in the House, but the blood is on their hands.
[0:46] I understand.
[0:46] And they do, too, Mr. President, as a result of your passing that word this morning to Jerry Ford and others.
[0:54] You made it crystal clear, and that was most helpful to us.
[0:56] All right, Clark.
[0:57] Thank you, Mr. President.
