Hello?
Yes, sir.
Has Ron finished his briefing yet?
He's in process right now.
He's still at it?
Yes, he is.
Fine.
Well, let me suggest that maybe when he finishes, you and Dick Moore, let me see how he finishes, you might come in.
Are you going out to lunch?
No, sir.
Check with Dick if he's going out, and then we'll talk about another matter.
But finish the briefing first.
All right.
And we'll be right back.
