Mr. Bowles, sir.

Yes, sir.

I told Rose to go and in the future on these things be sure she is always asked because she's with her nose out of joint because she should go on this one anyway because we may be doing some work down there, you know.

All right.

I thought that Al Haig had talked about it.

That's all right.

I just put her on the list.

She's to go.

Very good, sir.

All right.

Thank you, sir.
