Officer to the President, Jerry.
Hello?
Jerry Warren, please.
Mr. Coulson.
Just a moment.
Mr. Coulson.
Jerry, President, just tape that thing in so we can get it right out to the radio people who would like to use it.
I'll do that.
So it'll play during the day.
Yeah, I'll do that before my briefing.
I'll delay my briefing until that's done.
So you just taped it?
Yeah.
So as soon as you get whatever you need to hand out, you'd like to get it right out?
I'll do it.
Good.
Thanks.
