[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:03] Good.
[0:04] No problem at all.
[0:05] And they got the red flag in the morning.
[0:09] Right.
[0:09] Well, on the White House it goes up at midnight.
[0:12] On federal installations it goes up at sunup and all others first thing in the morning.
[0:18] I think that would be well accepted by the press, don't you think?
[0:20] Yes, it was.
[0:21] It was very accepted.
[0:25] No problem.
[0:26] They're moving it straight.
[0:27] And I think they think it's a nice gesture.
[0:29] Kind of a good gesture.
[0:33] All right, fine.
[0:34] The press this morning are talking about the photo opportunities today.
[0:38] They said those are great.
[0:42] The stories are generated from them.
[0:44] Sure.
[0:46] I think worked well today.
[0:48] Gave them a good full day, and you can see why we have so full, because these people had piled up.
[0:52] Sure, that's right.
[0:53] And the Senate hadn't moved on them, so that's one of the reasons I came back to is to see them before they all took off.
[0:58] Right.
[1:00] Anyway, that's a good...
[1:03] Got a lot, didn't they?
[1:04] An awful lot.
[1:05] And they had a full plate yesterday.
[1:08] We had Schultz, Galley, and Rumsfeld.
[1:11] Was that it?
[1:12] No.
[1:12] Was there any other photo opportunity?
[1:14] No, that was three.
[1:16] Yeah.
[1:17] Those were three good ones.
[1:19] News out of it all.
[1:21] That's good.
[1:22] Okay, sir.
