Hello, Mr. President.
Hi, John, how are you?
Very good, sir.
I hope you are.
Fine.
I was wanting to chat maybe a little about that Hoffa thing again.
Yes, sir.
You're pretty close to the time you have to make a decision.
Yes, sir, at your convenience.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you at your office now?
Yes, I am.
Yeah.
Could you come over to the EOB?
I certainly can, sir.
Or are you tied up?
No, I'm...
I think I can get over there in short order.
Fine.
I will do so.
Fine.
I don't have any.
I got somebody in at 4.30, but I have nothing before then.
So any time suits your convenience.
All right, sir.
I'll be over shortly.
Bye.
All right, sir.
