[1:01:41] Bob Henry said he was going to Chicago tomorrow to attend that person's dinner.
[1:01:46] Maybe he was talking about something built for tomorrow night.
[1:01:54] I don't know if he's true.
[1:01:56] It's tomorrow night.
[1:02:00] I'll try it out there.
[1:02:02] Well, if you want to check it out, if the damn thing is tomorrow, I would have to do it perhaps late this afternoon.
[1:02:06] Because he says this is a big dinner and several senators are going out and all that sort of thing.
[1:02:15] So it may be that your date, I would gather, that you have to buy something considerably later than a week or so.

[1:03:05] And so that they all feel they're getting the same thing.
[1:03:10] But if you get that word around, they're going to read it to others, you know, so they won't block these words.
