Do not cite it as authoritative. [0:00] Yes, sir. [0:02] I wrote a handwritten note to Henry before he left, you know, that I specifically referred to the election thing. [0:09] Yes, that's right. [0:09] It would be very impressive, I think, if you could get it, bring it to Henry, and he should not show it to them. [0:16] I mean, he should not let them read it, but he should say, now, here's a handwritten note. [0:19] I want to tell you, gentlemen, in that note, the president specifically says, and he can paraphrase, the election is not to be a consideration. [0:26] Make the right kind of a piece. [0:28] Right, sir. [0:28] Would you do that? [0:29] Fine, will do.
