No.
Good morning, sir.
Right.
What time does your staff meeting finish?
Well, it usually runs, Mr. President, from 8.15 to about a quarter of nine or ten minutes of nine.
Fine.
Okay, fine.
I just want to know, I want to go over a couple of things on that labor thing, a couple of things, but I'll give you a ring then.
Well, I can come over before if you'd like.
I mean, I can come out of the staff meeting easily enough.
It was whatever it is.
It starts about 8.15, huh?
Yes, sir.
Why don't you go into it first, because I think you might as well get that over first, and then I'll see you about it.
When you finish the staff meeting, I'll give you a ring.
Fine, sir.
At 10 o'clock or so, okay?
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
