[0:00] Mr. Coulson's office.
[0:01] Hi, this is Ron Ziegler.
[0:02] Could I speak to Chuck a moment, please?
[0:04] Mr. Ziegler, he's not here.
[0:05] Oh, where'd he go?
[0:06] Do you want to speak with Joan?
[0:07] Can you hold on just a minute?
[0:08] No, no, I wanted to speak with Chuck.
[0:10] Well, he's just left for the Hill.
[0:11] Oh, he's left for the Hill.
[0:14] Okay.
[0:15] Can I ask him to call you as soon as he gets back?
[0:17] Yeah, please do.
[0:18] Okay, fine.
[0:22] Well... Mr. Coulson, sir.

[0:29] The feeling is that we stay with a no comment, you know, from the White House.
[0:33] But can Miriam... Yeah, we're going to try to get Miriam to put that out today.
[0:37] Good.
[0:37] Okay.
[0:37] That was the thing.
[0:38] 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.
[0:45] Right, right, Miriam.
[0:46] We don't know yet whether it's Garrity or Miriam trying to find that.
[0:49] But once you determine that, then you'll have them deny it from that end.
[0:52] Yep.
[0:53] Today.
[0:53] Well, that's what we're trying to get done.
[0:55] Okay, good.
[0:56] Okay, fine.
[0:57] Right.
