[0:11] But they've been organizing out of L.A., the only place we've been. [0:15] Howard's office? [0:17] Let me have it, please. [0:18] Okay. [0:25] Hello? [0:25] Did those statements go out from Dolan McGregor calling on the telegrams to McGovern? [0:30] No. [0:31] Where are they? [0:32] No one can get McGregor to do it. [0:34] He's worrying about preparing for his debate, and he hasn't had a chance to clear the statement. [0:39] He hasn't cleared it yet? [0:39] Well, if he doesn't right now, it's going to be too late. [0:41] It's already too late. [0:43] Well, call right now. [0:44] Ask Al to be sure that that doesn't go past 6 o'clock without getting that out of there. [0:51] He's called me and said he's not going to be able to get it out. [0:53] McGregor won't clear anything. [0:55] I'll have to check Dole, though. [0:57] I don't know where he is. [0:57] Well, I talked to Dole myself before noon, and he was ready to go with it. [1:02] Okay, I'll tell him. [1:03] Yeah, I'd call Al Beck also, please.
