Any luck on Ann Armstrong?

No, I've been going back to the hotel and I haven't been able to find her.

Have you checked her office to see what her schedule was?

Yes, she left the office at 3.45.

Yeah, did they know what she was going to do?

No, they said she was going to, well, the, when I say she's at the hotel, Mr. Haldeman, the hotel clerk saw her.

And I've checked every place over there.

I've checked the hairdressers and the coffee shop and the bar and I just can't seem to find her.

Are there any other places that she could go to in the hotel?

Try back at the National Committee and see if they have any idea what her plans were for the afternoon and the evening.

And also call her home and see if her husband has any idea where she might have been in touch with him down in Texas.

I need to catch her as soon as I can.

I know it.

Thanks.
