Yeah.
I'm Assistant Secretary Sisko for Secretary Rogers.
Yeah.
Hello.
Welcome back.
Thank you very much.
Say, I'm over at the White House now, and we were talking about the Scali statement.
I'm not familiar with that.
Can you fill me in briefly on it?
Well, Scali said he was going to...
see the president sometime on the Security Council operation.
He said, I will be hit by the press.
Is there something I can say?
So we developed here three paragraphs, which are really basically a restatement of our position.
Did you go to Paris?
No, Roy did.
And we'll fill you in.
Well, I think Henry wants to fill you in himself so that if you're over there and Henry is there, maybe you could both get a few minutes.
And I'd like to talk to you about all of that later on.
Okay, fine, Joe.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
