[0:00] Timmons, please.
[0:03] Salomon.
[0:21] What was that caucus about?
[0:25] They're going back in this afternoon.
[0:26] It's on two things.
[0:28] There's a resolution this afternoon.
[0:30] They're going to vote on something to do with impoundment of funds.
[0:34] A caucus resolution?
[0:35] Yeah.
[0:36] They didn't get to it, but it's offered.
[0:38] We're trying to get a copy.
[0:39] They just broke up, as a matter of fact, and they didn't get to that.
[0:42] So they're going back in this morning.
[0:43] They apparently adopted a resolution that we're trying to get a copy of regarding captain officers testifying before committees of Congress.
[0:51] President, but it's directed towards Bill Rogers and formulations, obviously.
[0:55] But it's kind of demanding that they respect the Congress and testify.
[1:03] No specific action on it, though?
[1:05] No.
[1:07] They're just sitting there, stewing around in their frustrations?
[1:09] That's right.
[1:10] There's been speech in all morning, and Tom got up to the door and listened in the back.
[1:14] Went away, and somebody was shouting about impeachment.
[1:19] They couldn't figure out who it was.
[1:23] And we think it's John Tunney's resolution this afternoon on impoundment.
[1:30] We don't know whether it has any detentions or... Well, it wouldn't make any difference.
[1:33] It's just a caucus vote.
[1:34] Yeah, but I mean, whether they... No, I don't know yet.
[1:39] I'll shoot your copies in as soon as we can.
[1:41] Okay.
[1:41] Good.
[1:41] Thanks.
