[0:00] Hello?
[0:01] Mr. President, General Haig calling.
[0:03] Yeah.
[0:09] Okay.
[0:19] Hello?
[0:20] He hung up, sir.
[0:21] He's coming to the phone.
[0:25] All right.
[0:25] Hello?
[0:25] Hello, Al.
[0:26] Yes, sir.
[0:26] I just talked to Scranton.
[0:29] And he's going to do this.
[0:30] He's got a couple of minor legal problems, which I think are minutia.
[0:36] He's part of a corporation that's being sued, a small Pennsylvania outlaw.
[0:41] Oh, good God, that's nothing.
[0:42] Nobody's got to question his integrity.
[0:44] No.
[0:44] So he wants to come down and talk to me tomorrow at 11.
[0:48] And maybe we could... All right, I'll talk to him there, then.
[0:51] I won't have to have him in Florida.
[0:52] That's right.
[0:54] Maybe we can do it just that way.
[0:56] And have the announcement Saturday, though?
[0:57] Yes, we can do it Saturday.
[0:59] Or do you want it tomorrow?
[1:02] No, I think it would be better to wait.
[1:03] Saturday.
[1:04] Let's let this other story ride out.
[1:05] Yeah, I think it's much better to let it out.
[1:07] Fine.
[1:08] I'll be available tomorrow, anytime you say.
[1:10] Okay, sir.
[1:11] Fine.
