[0:01] Hi, Dick.
[0:02] Yeah.
[0:04] I wondered if you see Munson around just telling that, I think I've already indicated this, but that except for the white tie and the accessories that I'll pick the suits myself tomorrow when I come back, the suits I want to pick.
[0:18] White tie?
[0:19] Do we have a white tie then?
[0:21] Oh, in Iran.
[0:22] Yeah, Iran, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:24] I mean, I didn't...
[0:25] But the other things are not black ties.
[0:27] There's no black...
[0:28] There's nothing else formal except Iran.
[0:30] Everything else is a business suit for me and short dresses for the women.
[0:34] Yeah.
[0:35] So that's that.

[0:41] Well, it says that it ranges anywhere from 40 on up.
[0:46] Okay.

[1:21] I'm going to take lightweight.
[1:23] Maximum is 44 to 47.

[1:24] And 32 to 37 minimum.
[1:25] It'll be real cold there.
