[0:00] Mr. Haldeman, sir.
[0:02] Well, I just wanted to be sure you knew that I was very enthusiastic about it.
[0:07] I'm very enthusiastic about that foundation thing.
[0:09] Oh.
[0:10] And I want you to follow through and come hell or high water, that's on.
[0:15] Okay.
[0:15] You know, because basically, let me say, whatever, well, basically, Bob, who the hell is going to write the history of the first four years, Christ?
[0:23] Are we going to have Henry write it?
[0:24] Well, this is the point.
[0:26] That's right.
[0:26] It's the way for you to have access to all your stuff.
[0:29] That's right.
[0:30] About having to waste your own time in it.
[0:32] That's right.
[0:33] That's right.
[0:34] You've got everything from tapes and everything else, you know.
[0:37] Okay.
[0:37] But I guess so.
[0:38] It makes a lot of sense, and I think it's a good thing to do, and it solves our problem for the short haul, and we'll work out the long haul.
[0:48] That's right.
[0:48] We'll work it out.
[0:48] Okay.
[0:49] Good.
[0:49] Well, I appreciate that.
[0:50] Bye.
[0:51] All right.
[0:52] Anything else?
[0:53] No, don't believe so.
[0:54] Just go over to the FBI now.
[0:56] All right.
[0:57] Well.
[0:58] Give them hell, let me know.
[0:59] Okay, thanks.
