Yeah.
Mr. Bulser?
Yeah.
Yes, Mr. President, you've taken about 20 calls now.
We've been stacking them up and trying to keep a flow going, sir.
Right.
Would you like to continue?
I have Lou Harris on, who's calling right now.
Calling me?
Yes, sir.
Responding favorably, and perhaps maybe that you'd like that to be the last call.
Who else you got besides that that I should mind taking?
You've taken quite a cross-section.
John Rhodes called earlier.
I can get John Rhodes back.
Well, have that taken by Timmons, sir?
He already took...
These calls have been taken by people in some way.
We've been returning back.
So if you'd like to take the Harris call, we can make that the last one, sir.
Or we can continue, whatever you choose.
Well, who else?
It depends on who they are.
I'm eating something right now, but...

I'd call him.

I'll get him back.

Al has quite a...
Has the breakdown.
I'm in a separate office from him, so I don't have them all.
All right.
Okay.
Take Reagan.
I'll take Lou Harris, okay?
All right, sir.
I'll get Harris and Reagan and then... Get Reagan first and then Harris.
All right.
Harris is on the phone now, sir.
That's fine.
Okay.
I'll put him in there now, sir.
Fine.
And then I'll have Reagan waiting.
