General Hague, sir.
Yes, Mr. President.
Well, Rose said she couldn't find those damn things, and I don't know where the hell they are, but I've got Larry looking right away, and he has to check with Holland to find out, well, where John put them.
Yeah, John said he delivered them to a safe someplace in the building, so I know they're here.
Right.
Well, we're now the second point.
The reason I wanted you to take a quick scan of them, even before Buzzard, is that
Might be some stuff on Henry in there that's not very good.
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
Exactly.
And I don't want even him to see that.
You understand?
Absolutely.
But on the other hand, get that one memorandum out and get it out.
Yes, sir.
Because I think we've got to take the offensive on this and take it on very fast.
That's what I'm so concerned about, trying to find the damn thing.
Well, find that goddamn memo and call me back because it's got to be around here someplace.
Now, the other thing, would you be sure to...
getting Buzzard his guidelines that he will see tomorrow, Alderman Ehrlichman and Coulson.
Right.
Will do.
You have confidence in him, do you?
I have the most confidence.
Okay, boy.
All right, sir.
Good.
