Hello.
Hello.
Mr. President.
Yeah.
We have Mr. Butterfield wishing to speak with you.
All right.
Go ahead, please.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. President.
Yeah.
This is Alex.
I was going back down to Washington.
I wanted to check out with you personally before I left.
Sure.
I have two questions for you, though, before I go on Monday's schedule.
One concerns the quadriad.
Bob Haldeman thinks it's a good idea if
Rumsfeld, unannounced, sits in on the part, at least on the part concerning controls.
Okay.
The other question is we got a rather urgent appeal from Chuck Colson, I know you just talked to Chuck, on reconsidering the three-minute deal with Bill Marsh of ASAE.
He says that if Marsh can get in and get a photo opportunity,
ASAE, the American Society of Association of Executives.
I didn't know about that.
Yeah.
Well, I guess it was turned down once before, but Chuck just feels that they can get a publication out to as many as 12 million people if we can just get a picture of that fellow.
We'd run it in at 12 o'clock.
Sure.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Thank you, sir.
