Yeah.
Mr. Ehrlich.
Yes, sir.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, anything further on Wounded Knee?
Yeah, we may have a break in the works.
I just got a report that the two ringleaders of the dissidents have made off with the swag.
They've taken the money that's been donated by people and have been seen in a nearby town headed out of town.
The thing may be breaking up of its own weight at this point.
I'll have a final report tomorrow at 10.
And you're getting a message to Clint East we'd like for him to come back.
Well, he's booked into a lot of speeches, and I'm going to talk to him again in the morning.
He's got a Federal Bar Association speech.
He's got a big dinner speech and won in L.A.
I agree.
I agree.
That won't work.
But we can see him in L.A. Friday night or Saturday morning.
I see.
He will be there, and I will be talking to him on a clear phone tomorrow morning at 10.30.
All right, you do that.
And he's got some reports that he wants to give me from Baker and so forth.
Right, right.
Have you heard from Gray today?
Nope.
Okay.
Is he supposed to call me?
He was going to call either you or me, so I'll get back on him.
Right.
