[0:00] This is Haldeman.
[0:01] Who's calling?
[0:02] Miss Julie.
[0:03] Julie.
[0:04] Just a minute.
[0:07] Hello.
[0:07] Miss Julie, sir.
[0:09] Yeah.
[0:10] You are.
[0:45] Oh, I sent some talking points to Tricia.
[0:49] I don't know whether you got them yet.
[0:51] No, I didn't.
[0:51] Well, some talking points to Tricia about Vietnam, in case it came up.
[0:55] And I told Rose to fire it down, fire a copy to you.
[0:59] Because Tricia said she had to be on a program, and she said she didn't want to say much, but she wanted to know what she could and couldn't say.
[1:05] So I covered it in a letter to her.
[1:06] Oh, that's...
[1:07] So I fired it on to you.
[1:09] As you told me last night, you really had a good day in Louisiana, didn't you?
[1:12] I thought it went fine.
[1:14] Yeah.
[1:14] I think it did.
[1:14] Good turnout.
[1:16] Yes, nice turnout.
[1:18] Do you have a minute?
[1:20] Sure.
[1:21] I wanted to tell you this great thing about Congressman Hebert.
[1:25] Yeah.
[1:25] Well, he got up, and I told you he gave you a beautiful tribute.
[1:28] But then what he said was that the press, you know, so often talks about the one or two soldiers who won't go to the front in Vietnam, and yet when the Midway sails for Vietnam, 100 men volunteered to go, and the press never printed it.
[1:43] So he socked it to him.
[1:44] It was really great.
[1:45] Great.
[1:45] Well, he's a strong, good man.
[1:47] Yeah, he is good.
[1:48] Good, good.
[1:49] Okay, well, thanks, Darby, a million.
[1:51] Thank you.
[1:51] Bye.
[1:52] Good luck.
