Hello.
Mr. President, I found that Mr. Mulcahy is on his way to a hunting spot.
It should take an hour, but of course he's been on his way since then.
Oh, I see.
And I'll try that.
And then Mr. Clement Stone is out, as I expected him to have, and I don't know that word.
Oh, I see.
Well, if we, um, between 4 and 5, um, pretty much target, so maybe around 5 o'clock, if you get any, if you get any new calls, you can try.
Okay.
Okay.
And, uh... And it's before four?
No, any... Oh, yeah, if you get something before four, I can take it.
Fine.
And then between four and five, I will be tied up.
Yes, ma'am.
And then, operator, if you could get Mr. Ralph Cake.
That's code 503-292-2244.
Thank you, sir.
And after that, I'll talk to Mr. Coulson, too.
Fine.
Thank you.
All right.
