[0:00] Hello?
[0:01] Attorney General.
[0:03] AG?
[0:04] Yes, this is Dick.
[0:05] Yes, sir.
[0:06] I said AG.
[0:07] Aren't you Attorney General?
[0:09] Yes, sir.
[0:10] All right.
[0:10] I wanted to get anything further on the Coast matter.
[0:14] I haven't received a report back.
[0:16] Okay, boy.
[0:17] It's still, it's only, well, it's now clock there.
[0:22] Would you want me to call you later on this evening?
[0:26] Yeah, I probably, that might be a good idea.
[0:29] Until what time, sir?
[0:31] In other words, I would think by 5 their time or by before then, I should know.
[0:41] I'll give you a call.
[0:43] I'm going out to dinner tonight, and I'll call you as soon as I know.
[0:47] Uh, yeah, the problem is where I'll be.
[0:49] Let me think.
[0:58] All I want to know is the procedure, you know.
[1:00] Let me say...
[1:01] Six one half dozen other dick, as far as I'm concerned.
[1:04] Let's get the goddamn thing hung out there.
[1:06] Sure, and I think the thing is pretty much up to the judge anyway.
[1:09] Yep.
[1:10] That's right.
[1:13] As soon as I get word on it, I'll call you, Mr. President.
[1:15] Right, right, right.
[1:17] You do that.
[1:19] Yes, sir.
[1:19] And we'll get the word.
[1:21] Okay, sir.
[1:22] Fine.
[1:23] As far as you're concerned, there's two possibilities, as you've indicated, going one way or the other.
[1:29] I don't know the law, but you know it.
[1:31] I've got to depend on you for the law, boy.
[1:34] Okay.
[1:36] Great.
[1:36] Thank you, Mr. President.
