[0:00] Yep.
[0:00] Mr. Haldeman calling you, sir.
[0:03] Yeah.
[0:03] There you are.
[0:04] You okay?
[0:04] Yeah.
[0:05] On the steelworkers, I can give you that all employees in the steel industry in 1960 were 651,000.
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:12] In 1971, 609,000.
[0:16] Yeah.
[0:18] That's all I need.
[0:19] Down about 5%.
[0:20] Now, that's probably the best figure to use.
[0:23] There's a whole lot of others on members of the union.
[0:25] I just want to get the idea that there's less in the industry today than there was before.
[0:27] There are less steelworkers now.
[0:29] There are more members of the steelworkers union, but there are less steelworkers in the industry.
[0:34] That's right.
[0:34] I got it.
[0:34] That's all I needed to know.
[0:35] Okay.
