Stay right there.

He's doing great.
You stay right with him, and I don't have anything urgent.
It's just something I can go over at a later time.

Fine, fine.
Well, you can just tell him that the President had some things to go over that involves this very thing.
Okay.
We're making.
His interest is very great and so forth.
I'll do it.
And we're making good progress with him, I think.
Go in there and go right back in and say the President just wanted to express his, you know, extend his regards.
Good.
We have our, we just hope, appreciate their cooperation, all that both.
Okay?
Yes, sir, I'll do it.
