Hi.
Mr. President.
Are you in a meeting?
Yes, sir.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thinking that maybe it would be helpful in trying to work this thing out, if maybe you and Bazar could come over and I could go over those particular points, if you want him to work on that part, or what would you like to do?
Well, I was going over it with him right now.
Oh.
And I think we've got...
You know, we were concerned about it also.
Yeah.
Well, do you want to come over now?
Or do you want to work on it first?
It'll be about 10 minutes, or then they'll be back at the board, and then we can give them whatever add-ons we decide.
All right.
Well, good.
No, I just want that...
In other words, he's got the facts that he needs.
He's got something to help them right with it.
Yes, sir.
That's right.
And doesn't he think that we ought to put this in?
Yes.
Well, one, we don't want to put in after we...
examine it here that wouldn't be difficult and that's the uh the discussion on the subsequent discussion with gray and then you get into some things where they're like when it'll be difficult and what have you oh i see all right if i leave that out but we have reasons to tell you you know in each case uh sure sure you understand i'm not dictating i just throw these in this but he did think that putting in some of this was flushing it out was a good idea yes especially the the meeting
The meeting with Walters.
Right.
Okay.
Good.
All right.
Al?
Yes, sir.
Then how do we leave it?
Then you still want to say 2 o'clock or...
Yes, 2 o'clock.
Is that better?
Then you can, you and he and all, you won't need to see me before then.
No, unless some question comes up out of this meeting, which we want to check with you, and I think that's very probable.
So I may need a few minutes here in about 15 minutes.
All right, fine.
Good, sir.
All right.
