[0:02] Put in that message, that 2-2, a personal message for me, that President 2 has the President Nixon's personal assurance that President Nixon will make a personal, unilateral statement.
[0:15] regard to the two points he's concerned about, reaffirming the election things and the other point.
[0:21] You see what I mean?
[0:22] I certainly do.
[0:23] And that I will do that and that I will clear the statement with him in advance to be sure that it's satisfactory.
[0:28] I think that would be very useful.
[0:29] Fine.
[0:30] Tell him that I want him to know that I personally will do it apart from the communique, apart from the briefing.
