This is Mr. Schultz speaking.
May I speak to him, please?
The other one is North American Rockwell operating through some city here.
Hello?
Julie.
You don't have that number yet, do you?
You need it urgently, right?
Obviously.
Well, yeah, I would like to report it in to the bosses.
All right.
They said they'd let me know within 30 to 60 minutes when I called you before.
But I'll go right back to them on that.
All right.
You can have the White House operator call me on extension 504.
That's in the President's office.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Okay, I'll do that.
