[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:02] I have approved the plaque thing, and so we don't have the people.
[0:05] We don't have to bother looking at television.
[0:07] The plaque thing is better than the other.
[0:09] Yes, sir.
[0:09] And he's going to have people around, and, you know, there will be people in the hall.
[0:13] There will be so there's no problem.
[0:16] All right, sir.
[0:16] We'll have some remarks for you to make at that.
[0:19] Well, I have to get some research from state as to what they have two plaques there, 1966 and...
[0:26] And this is the newer plaque that goes to about the last 10 years since 1966 to 73, right?
[0:32] Yes, sir.
[0:34] So we'll take that.
[0:35] But the thrust of your remarks would be aimed at the dedication of some of the people who have served in the foreign service.
[0:48] I mean, how many tribute to them lost their lives just as we pay tribute to those who served in the armed services.
[0:56] But anyway, they'll know how.
[0:57] They can just talk to the department people and work up some background material on it and so forth.
[1:06] And I can speak briefly.
[1:11] And he has that luncheon tentatively from 1 o'clock, which if it's with you, then we'll get ahead on that.
[1:19] One thing that should be put on is, I don't know whether you've got it, is Santa Maria.
[1:27] who is the head of the Alliance for Progress.
[1:33] He has asked to come in, I understand, and I want to be sure he does come in at some time.
[1:39] That would be a half-hour meeting.
[1:42] Santa Maria.
[1:43] All right, fine.
[1:44] Kissinger's office will know about it.
[1:48] Thank you, sir.
