Mr. Coulson's office.
Hi, this is Ron Ziegler.
Could I speak to Chuck a moment, please?
Mr. Ziegler, he's not here.
Oh, where'd he go?
Do you want to speak with Joan?
Can you hold on just a minute?
No, no, I wanted to speak with Chuck.
Well, he's just left for the Hill.
Oh, he's left for the Hill.
Okay.
Can I ask him to call you as soon as he gets back?
Yeah, please do.
Okay, fine.
Well... Mr. Coulson, sir.
Yeah, good.
There you are.
Chuck?
Yes.
Hi, this is Ron.
Yeah, Ron.
Say, listen, uh...
The feeling is that we stay with a no comment, you know, from the White House.
But can Miriam... Yeah, we're going to try to get Miriam to put that out today.
Good.
Okay.
That was the thing.
In other words, the testimony said that Dita Beard called Miriam, or Dita Beard, I mean, that someone from the White House called Garrity or Miriam.
Right, right, Miriam.
We don't know yet whether it's Garrity or Miriam trying to find that.
But once you determine that, then you'll have them deny it from that end.
Yep.
Today.
Well, that's what we're trying to get done.
Okay, good.
Okay, fine.
Right.
