[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Dr. Takash.
[0:02] Bob?
[0:02] Yes, Mark.
[0:03] I just talked to General Vogel at the hospital.
[0:05] Mrs. Johnson's already there.
[0:07] And the former President Johnson's in an ambulance between the airport and the hospital.
[0:13] He has no communications in the ambulance, so he can't tell me anything about whether he's alive or dead.
[0:19] Very good.
[0:19] So he's going to call me immediately as soon as he sees me.
[0:22] Okay.
[0:22] Have you got anything more than that?
[0:24] Mrs. Johnson's at the hospital?
[0:25] Right, sir.
[0:26] How'd she get there ahead of him?
[0:28] I don't know.
[0:28] She may have been in the area.
[0:33] Because he came on fixed wing from Johnson City to the International in an ambulance.
[0:38] He's in the ambulance now.
[0:39] Right, sir.
[0:40] We'll call you as soon as he knows.
[0:41] Yes, sir.
[0:43] Okay.
[0:43] He's already gone.
