Hello.
Yes, sir.
I'm sure you need to, but in view of times using that story on Mitchell and Coulson, anybody in the White House talks to anybody from time.
His resignation must be on my desk within one minute.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
You get that order around the statute.
All right.
And you are to enforce it.
And that means Schecter
everybody else, you tell the NSC crowd, no calls at all are to be taken or returned from Time magazine unless I approve them in the future.
Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
