Hello.
The President.
As I said last night, we're still have, we're confident that we've made the major breakthrough in the negotiations.
It would be well for you to keep that line without making it very, making the point at
statement that I did, that we want it all nailed down so that they won't break up like the bombing hall.
We don't want to do it as an election year trick.
No question about that.
And it seems to me everything has been handled exactly right.
But the breakthrough has occurred because we've agreed on the prisoners, we've agreed on the ceasefire, and we've agreed on the electoral commission.
But there are some knotty problems about withdrawals and forces and all that sort of thing, which will be worked out, in my opinion.
