[0:00] Mr. Holderman, Mr. Colson's asking for you again.
[0:04] Okay.
[0:05] All right.
[0:06] There you are.
[0:06] Yes, Chair.
[0:07] I'm sorry.
[0:08] I just thought there was one thing.
[0:08] I don't know whether you've gotten it yet that you ought to have.
[0:10] Jay Lovestone just called me, and he has put out a very strong statement.
[0:15] He's put it out?
[0:15] Yes.
[0:16] Full support for the president.
[0:17] Call upon the American people to back him all the way.
[0:20] He's doing the right thing.
[0:22] Jay just read it to me over the phone.
[0:23] I couldn't believe it.
[0:24] And he said he's put it out right now.
[0:25] They just phoned it to AP and UP.
[0:27] He just called him.
[0:28] Did he?
[0:29] Did he know that?
[0:31] He said, well, I may be able to say something that will help you tomorrow.
[0:34] How long ago did he call him?
[0:35] About 15 minutes.
[0:36] That's too long.
[0:37] Jay told me they posted.
[0:38] He must have just hung up and done it.
[0:40] That's a hell of a statement from what he just read to me.
[0:43] Good.
[0:43] Well, I thought you'd like to know.
[0:45] Great.
[0:45] That's a source we haven't heard from in quite a while.
[0:47] Right.
[0:48] We may get in a few more of those.
[0:50] Good.
[0:50] Okay.
[0:50] Okay.
[0:51] Yes, sir.
