[0:01] I thought you should know that everybody, Haig and Ziegler, said your thing with the students on television was just great.
[0:09] And Bill Rogers mentioned it, too.
[0:11] So they had all, they had all, I didn't get to see it, but apparently saw it.
[0:14] I didn't even know they were going to apparently use it on the news or something.
[0:17] Well, I wanted to call you last night, but I knew you'd be too busy because I told the kids that I would tell them, tell you about their experiences.
[0:27] They just were so much behind you.
[0:30] It was just fantastic.
[0:31] These are the White House scholars?
[0:33] No, these were teenage Republicans, this group.
[0:35] Oh, I thought it was the White House scholars.
[0:37] Teenage Republicans.
[0:38] Oh, great.
[0:39] And the question they asked was, will Republican candidates do well in 74?
[0:43] Will Watergate affect it?
[0:45] And I, you know, I said...
[0:47] poll were taken now that we wouldn't do as well because not all the facts are out and there have been a lot of charges and all this.
[0:55] But in any event, the point is that they are behind you 100%.
[0:59] Oh, that's good.
[1:00] And I want you to know it.
[1:01] It was really nice.
[1:02] Great, sweetie.
[1:03] And I told them that we were thankful for all they'd done in the campaign.
[1:06] Wonderful.
[1:06] Well, I saw the signing treaty.
[1:08] Oh, yeah.
[1:09] How was the champagne?
[1:10] Oh, we didn't drink much.
[1:11] I don't like champagne.
[1:12] I know.
[1:13] But that was very good.
[1:14] They had it live on TV.
[1:16] Yeah.
[1:16] Yeah.
[1:17] Well, all these things this week are good, don't you think?
[1:20] Oh, I think so, too.
[1:22] Gets people thinking about something else.
[1:24] Do you have to go out on separate planes tomorrow?
[1:27] It's like you're putting women down, sort of.
[1:29] No, it really, we can't.
[1:31] If they don't have women, that's their problem, see.
[1:33] And if I put Mommy on there, it's just, Gromeko doesn't have his wife, Bresnik doesn't have his wife.
[1:39] You know, it's just a real thing.
[1:41] I think we should do it.
[1:41] We've got to do it that way.
[1:42] We just don't have the room.
[1:43] Yeah.
[1:44] No, that's fine.
[1:45] All right.
[1:55] All right.
[1:56] That's a great job.
[1:57] Thank you.
