Secretary Dent, sir.
Hello?
Hello.
Hello, Mr. President.
I have nothing to do, to tell you, except that we'll have a meeting, a cabinet meeting right after the inauguration that you will see at that time.
But while you're getting through your confirmations and the rest, I just want to wish you well and hope you're having a good time up here.
I certainly am, Mr. President.
The hearings are scheduled for tomorrow.
I hope to be able to do a job that will reflect credit on the administration.
I'm sure you will.
And just stand right up there and don't take any guff of them.
Just be very gentle.
I certainly shall.
Be gentle but firm.
I will.
Okay.
Thank you.
And, Mr. President, I just wanted to tell you I've had some very fine reaction from the business community today on George Schultz's announcement of Phase 3 on your behalf.
Great.
Well, I think he did a fine job.
Right.
Thank you, sir.
