[0:01] Steve.
[0:03] There you are.
[0:03] Hi, Steve.
[0:04] Yes, sir.
[0:04] With regard to the time, I was wrong on one point.
[0:08] I thought the Truman funeral, I was thinking of it today, but it'll be tomorrow.
[0:13] We should leave immediately after the funeral, which I think is at 11 o'clock.
[0:17] I think the funeral is at 2 o'clock tomorrow, sir.
[0:20] 2 o'clock, all right.
[0:20] We would leave immediately thereafter, you see.
[0:23] All right.
[0:24] Once the funeral is over, we leave about 3, you see.
[0:27] All right.
[0:27] And then off we go.
[0:29] Because there'd be no better tribute to Truman than to go out and do something for people.
[0:34] Okay?
[0:35] All right, sir.
[0:35] Check it out.
[0:37] I'm working on it.
[0:38] Say we're, figure, in other words, we leave at 3 o'clock right after the funeral and go down and what I want to do is to go in and then get in a helicopter and fly over the areas, pop down, shake hands with people.
[0:53] You know, bring along a little check and all this and that and the other thing.
[0:56] Okay?
[0:56] All right, sir.
[0:57] All right.
[0:57] I'll get back, sir.
