[0:00] Hello.
[0:05] Hello.
[0:07] Mr. President.
[0:08] Yeah.
[0:08] We have Mr. Butterfield wishing to speak with you.
[0:12] All right.
[0:12] Go ahead, please.
[0:13] Hello.
[0:13] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:15] Yeah.
[0:15] This is Alex.
[0:16] I was going back down to Washington.
[0:17] I wanted to check out with you personally before I left.
[0:20] Sure.
[0:20] I have two questions for you, though, before I go on Monday's schedule.
[0:24] One concerns the quadriad.
[0:26] Bob Haldeman thinks it's a good idea if
[0:29] Rumsfeld, unannounced, sits in on the part, at least on the part concerning controls.
[0:34] Okay.
[0:35] 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.
[0:53] He says that if Marsh can get in and get a photo opportunity,
[0:58] ASAE, the American Society of Association of Executives.
[1:05] I didn't know about that.
[1:06] Yeah.
[1:07] 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.
[1:15] We'd run it in at 12 o'clock.
[1:17] Sure.
[1:17] Yes, sir.
[1:19] All right.
[1:19] Thank you, sir.
