Hello?
Mr. Coulson, sir.
Yeah.
Hello?
Well, Sendlinger was very pleased, Mr. President.
He, uh...
I wanted to ask you to call Lou Harris.
Apparently he called in the switchboard and was very good.
All right.
And, uh, call him and call me back, too, if you will.
All right, I'll do so.
Uh, do you want Sendlinger's report first?
Yeah, first, of course.
Now, why don't you call both Lou Harris and give me the both, okay?
All right, I'll call you back.
Because I'm eating dinner right now.
Yes, sir.
Call me in 15 minutes.
I'll call you then.
Thank you.
