[0:00] Hi, Fred.
[0:02] Yes, sir.
[0:03] Did you get the stuff yet?
[0:05] Yes, sir.
[0:06] They're making us a copy now.
[0:07] We have identified it.
[0:08] It is all positively related.
[0:11] The other pieces is a synthesis of the original document.
[0:17] Some of it is, well, there's one memo from John Dean to...
[0:23] the Attorney General, with reference to this.
[0:27] There are several memos by, I guess, two, three, four, five, six, six memos from Tom Houston, who was a White House rep for this agency committee, to Bob Haldeman, kind of giving him progress reports.
[0:41] They all date between July 1970 and September 21, 1970.
[0:48] All related to the same subject.
[0:52] and the whole business of this internal intelligence.
[0:54] Well, I can assure you it was done.
[0:56] And it wasn't very successful either.
[1:01] We are moving out, Mr. President, to control this document.
[1:05] Okay, it should be.
[1:09] The Justice Department have evolved.
[1:11] We're asking the committee to initial the document and it be stored for the MSI here on that call.
[1:20] Good job, Fred.
[1:21] Thank you, sir.
