[0:03] It occurs to me that perhaps before his testimony, you ought to perhaps tell him that he gets questions on China, that there will be a communique on the China thing tomorrow.
[0:17] Don't you think you should, on Thursday?
[0:19] Right.
[0:19] Well, that I've told him already.
[0:21] Oh, he knows there's going to be a communique.
[0:22] Well, that's the answer to the damn thing.
[0:25] That's good.
[0:25] That's good.
[0:26] You told him there would be a communique and that you'd have the text by tomorrow afternoon.

[0:30] All right, good.
[0:31] That's good, then.
[0:31] That's good.
