[0:03] Hello, Bob.
[0:08] John Dean just called me.
[0:10] He had a message he wanted to relay to the president through you.
[0:13] He would not speak directly to you.
[0:16] All right.
[0:16] 2.1.
[0:18] I hope you understand that my actions are motivated totally out of loyalty to you and the president.
[0:27] You.
[0:32] You.
[0:32] If not, then if...
[0:33] and the president.
[0:40] And if not clear now, it will become clear.
[0:52] Erlichman requested to meet tonight, but I feel it's inappropriate at this time.
[1:04] I'm ready and willing to meet with you, meaning the president, at any time to discuss these matters.
[1:24] Full point.
[1:26] And you, meaning the president, should take your counsel
[1:34] From Henry Peterson, who I assure you does not want the presidency hurt.
[1:49] That's the end of his message.
[1:51] He's calling me from his home, the operator said.
[1:54] That's what the, that's what the on-line said.
[1:55] What was that, just now?
[1:56] Yes, sir.
[1:57] Okay, thank you very much.
[1:59] Sure.
