[0:00] Hello.
[0:00] The President.
[0:14] As I said last night, we're still have, we're confident that we've made the major breakthrough in the negotiations.
[0:21] It would be well for you to keep that line without making it very, making the point at
[0:30] statement that I did, that we want it all nailed down so that they won't break up like the bombing hall.
[0:35] We don't want to do it as an election year trick.
[0:37] No question about that.
[0:39] And it seems to me everything has been handled exactly right.
[0:42] 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.
[0:52] But there are some knotty problems about withdrawals and forces and all that sort of thing, which will be worked out, in my opinion.
