[0:01] General Hague, sir.
[0:03] Yes, Mr. President.
[0:05] 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.
[0:17] Yeah, John said he delivered them to a safe someplace in the building, so I know they're here.
[0:23] Right.
[0:23] Well, we're now the second point.
[0:26] The reason I wanted you to take a quick scan of them, even before Buzzard, is that
[0:31] Might be some stuff on Henry in there that's not very good.
[0:34] Exactly.
[0:35] You know what I mean?
[0:36] Exactly.
[0:36] And I don't want even him to see that.
[0:38] You understand?
[0:39] Absolutely.
[0:40] But on the other hand, get that one memorandum out and get it out.
[0:44] Yes, sir.
[0:45] Because I think we've got to take the offensive on this and take it on very fast.
[0:48] That's what I'm so concerned about, trying to find the damn thing.
[0:51] Well, find that goddamn memo and call me back because it's got to be around here someplace.
[0:58] Now, the other thing, would you be sure to...
[1:01] getting Buzzard his guidelines that he will see tomorrow, Alderman Ehrlichman and Coulson.
[1:07] Right.
[1:08] Will do.
[1:09] You have confidence in him, do you?
[1:11] I have the most confidence.
[1:12] Okay, boy.
[1:13] All right, sir.
[1:14] Good.
