[0:16] Hello, Frank?
[0:20] Well, I just called to tell you that I was in California yesterday, and I got back to Texas.
[0:23] I read the morning news about me and I just thought you did a great job on that committee.
[0:48] The way your counsel put the press on, the way you handled the committee, I thought was just a very good job.
[0:51] And I think you came out very well.
[0:51] Sometimes you have to go into another attack too.
[0:52] What is the situation really is?
[0:54] I think it's one of those ones that I've, I've talked to areas and they don't, you know, feel kind of guilt by it, they feel, you know, and, and so, but anyway, they go way back, back to you, you won't stop in front of a race track, somebody else will stop, and I'll say, well, please put down my idea, and, you know, whatever, and that's, that's really recent, you know, and I, I've, I've read it enough, and it's handled well, and so, and they'll, they're probably sorry they don't,
[1:24] Are you in France?
[1:50] I understand.
[1:51] Yeah.
[1:51] Oh, great, great, great.

[2:21] Let me ask one other thing, and incidentally, I'll ask you because you're another one of our people.
[2:44] As you probably know, there's a new current manager for the lake.
[2:45] He's a very good man.
[2:46] He's a very strong friend of mine.
[2:46] I have not met him, and I've had some meetings with him before going to Rutgers.
[2:48] He's a really nice person.
[2:49] He's always very good.
[2:50] .
[3:14] .
[3:14] .
[3:15] i won't i'll have our people talk to your schedulers what we would do
[3:42] Then, if the number of people that appears watching you is great, we might as well remind you to go down to the Kennedy Center and put it on where you've got a better stage.
[4:06] I don't know that we, I don't know that we can arrange that in place with the rest, but as far as you're concerned, you can do either way.
[4:09] What would you rather do with the force?
[4:13] and give them more than they used to.
[4:34] Right, always, if you can do that, too.
[4:34] And they might have to eat, too.
[4:35] And you're, uh, you're, uh, you've got to know that, you know, the thing I was thinking of, that farewell thing you did, if you could, uh, maybe give us some of those, uh, yeah, but I mean, you are.
[4:39] But anyway, we won't bother you with it now, and, uh, we'll get to, uh, have our, we've got to, we've got to, we've got to, you know,
[4:43] Yeah.
[4:55] Well, great, and have a great time over there.

[5:07] Do you fish or swim or ride?
[5:08] Ah, you're a golfer.
[5:08] That's right.
[5:08] This has been my, I have not met him, but I have started to admire him and to tell him that my warmest, best wishes to him.
[5:11] All right.
[5:12] Goodbye and good luck to you.
[5:13] Bye.
