[0:01] Hello.
[0:01] Mr. Scali, Mr. President.
[0:03] Hello.
[0:03] Yes, Mr. President.
[0:05] I was just sitting here with Al, and I said to him that you and he and Ziegler now must realize that coming to the White House isn't as worth it after all.
[0:14] Well, it was a great experience.
[0:15] Wasn't it really something?
[0:17] Yes, it was.
[0:18] The best part was knowing that it is a well-prepared year for a forthcoming visit here, sir.
[0:24] Yeah.
[0:24] Was it useful, you think, for you to go out?
[0:26] I thought it was.
[0:27] Oh, I thought it was enormously useful.
[0:29] Yeah.
[0:29] And you got a good feel of them and us and what we're going to do and so forth.
[0:32] And I'm very encouraged.
[0:35] Well, get home and get a little sleep.
[0:37] Will do.
[0:38] All right, John.
