Yeah.
Yes, Mr. President.
It occurred to me that what you ought to do is to sort of get off a statement that you could let me sort of take a look at as to what you, that you go out and say, I have a statement with regard to this, the tax bill, which I've been, which the President has authorized me to make, and so forth.
Fine.
And then you do it in a third person.
And then, and get off the best thing, you could bring that in to me.
Then it seems to me that in order to build a little sentiment for our statement,
that you ought to have that bicycled around to, I mean, in courtesy, give it to, I'd give it sort of to the last minute to Mills and Long, you know what I mean?
Right.
So that they have it before.
All right, sir.
So that it doesn't hit them that way.
But then I'd give it to the Republicans and say, now, it's a half hour...
half-hour, give them a half-hour notice so that some of them can really get up and back it up.
See what I mean?
Good.
Absolutely.
Right, Mr. President.
Democratic people, to say the same.
All right.
I think we will.
Thank you.
