Yeah.
You watch the situation over there.
As soon as the Congress is there, give me a ring.
All right, sir.
Let me explain.
I don't want to go over there and sit and wait for them.
You hear what I mean?
Yes, sir.
So Timmons will know.
And I don't want to wait until every last dog is there.
As soon as the great majority are there, I'll come over.
All right, sir.
Fine.
Thank you.
