Bob, just wanting to check this thing out absolutely certainly, you didn't call ITT on anything on the San Diego thing, did you?
Never.
Never talked to anybody.
That's what you had said before.
With the ITT company.
When was that, and at what point in time?
Oh, Lord, that was just before I went to Latin America.
That was well after the convention had all been determined.
That was purely to talk about their expropriation problems.
Yeah.
No, I never talked to anybody.
And you never have called any of them?
No, no, no.
I mean, talking about telephone... Like Miriam or Garrity specifically, this thing that Dita Beard's talking about?
Not at all.
Neither with...
I mean, just never had any conversations, period.
Telephone or they initiated or I initiated.
Yeah.
Do you think Herb did?
No, I would think Wilson was the one who kept all the action.
I've never discussed it with her.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks.
