I'd like to have a talk with John Connolly, and if he'd like to bring Rich in.

I'd like to see him separately early in the week.

I think it's important to keep a separate dialogue going there, too.

And also, it's useful for me to talk to him about the other thing, President.

So if you would just let John know today that, after he's done his take,

so that doesn't interfere with his training.

He's doing that monthly, isn't he?

Right.

So we can do that on Tuesdays.

Right.

If he wants, or without me, if he prefers.

But I just want to talk about the general, his own plans and so forth, what he's doing.

Right.
