Hello?
Yes, sir.
The part about we're not being stampeded is playing well on ABC.
As a matter of fact, they didn't play the Hanoi thing nearly as big as I thought they would.
Hanoi passed.
We no commented that, so...
We didn't give them a chance to come back.
How about your stuff?
Did it play well?
I think so.
They used the quote on, we won't be stampeded.
The only deadline we have is an agreement.
The right cost.
The right time.
I'm watching the news now.
Did they pick up Rockefeller at all?
No.
Too bad.
I've watched the early ABC feed, and I didn't see it on that.
I just watched NBC.
They didn't play it on that, and I'm just getting ready to watch CBS.
So we'll have to see there.
I hope they do play him, though, because he came down here and worked his tail off.
Well, we'll see.
You're getting the written press.
