[0:00] Yeah.
[0:00] Mrs. Acker.
[0:01] Yeah.
[0:02] Hello.
[0:03] Marge.
[0:03] Yes.
[0:03] Now, you can take this, but if you will look at the, oh, page 14, page 14.
[0:18] Right.
[0:25] The sentence ending, it has been a long and difficult trial for us.
[0:29] Yes.
[0:29] Yeah.
[0:30] From there on, I want you to, not for me, but for the draft you give to Kissinger to leave the conclusion in that is in the old speech.
[0:43] You see what I mean?
[0:46] Let me explain.
[0:48] This is all a change, you know, part of it is a change, remember?
[0:52] Right, the insert.
[0:53] But where I say, but I can assure you tonight with the confidence, remember that's part of the insert on the yellow page.
[1:00] What I want you to do is to go right back to the draft that I was working on.
[1:06] Find that draft.
[1:07] You got it in front of you?
[1:08] Right.
[1:09] All right, what does it say right after it has been a long and difficult trial for us?
[1:14] But now ahead we can see the end.
[1:16] All right, fine.
[1:18] That sentence.
[1:19] And everything else from there on, as it was in that draft, that's the draft you give to him.
[1:24] Fair enough?
[1:25] Yes.
[1:26] That's right.
[1:26] Just give it to him, nobody else at this point.
[1:28] Okay.
[1:29] Thank you.
[1:29] All right.
