[0:02] Give me John Evans right away, please.
[0:20] Yes, sir.
[0:20] Thank you.
[0:20] I know the whole story.
[0:22] I've been told with all that.
[0:26] I haven't had a chance yet.
[0:30] No, who told me about that?
[0:35] Timmons gave me the whole briefing.
[0:43] He's here now.
[0:43] He's got 100 kids, but he wants to just bring his kids over.
[0:47] I'm supposed to get a hold of him.
[0:48] No, no, no.
[0:49] Ashbrook just wants to come over with his own kids.
[0:50] No, I was just... Well, that's what Timmons said.
[0:52] You've got a knee-decker input.
[0:54] You know, I can't get anything.
[0:55] Mr. Butterfield?
[0:56] Yeah.
[0:57] Yes, sir.
[0:57] Mr. Evans has stepped out of the office right now.
[0:59] Would you like to talk to one of his assistants?
[1:00] No, no, no.
[1:01] I've just hung up from talking to him.
[1:02] Do you have his office on the phone?

[1:04] Yeah, okay.
[1:04] Give me the office.

[1:07] Go ahead, please.
[1:08] Hello?
[1:08] Hello?
[1:08] Can't you get him down the hall?
[1:09] The president's asking a question I think only he can answer.
[1:12] Okay.
[1:13] I'll hold him and call you.
[1:15] Well, let me hang on.
[1:16] Well, he's not in the building.
[1:18] I just hung up from talking to him.
[1:19] You know that.
[1:20] I know it.
[1:20] And he left.
[1:21] Okay.
[1:21] And he'll be back.
[1:22] I'll get him.
[1:23] Well, no, disregard it.
[1:24] It's just a question that he asked right now.
[1:27] Do you know when this Citizens Committee will break up up at the Sheraton Carlton?
[1:33] I guess you're not sure of that.
[1:34] I guess no one is.
[1:35] No, the luncheon's supposed to start at 1.
[1:36] I know that.
[1:37] And the meeting precedes the luncheon, doesn't it?
[1:39] Yeah.
[1:39] Yeah.
[1:40] Then a luncheon at 1, huh?
[1:41] Mm-hmm.
[1:43] Has he headed over this way, or is he?
[1:45] No, I can get hold of him, Mr. Butterfield.
[1:46] Oh, can you?
[1:47] Yes, I'm sure I can.
[1:48] All right.
[1:49] Would you ask him to call me then?
[1:50] Yes, sir.
[1:51] Thank you very much.
[1:52] Okay.
