[0:08] Henry, before Bob Finch goes, I'd like you to let him know that I think it would be well if we had him in.
[0:30] You and I have a little talk with him, you know.
[0:31] I think, I don't think you'll be able to do so, but in addition to, I don't know whether your staff has prepared a couple talking points, but maybe you ought to because you'll get his state talking points, and I just want to be sure they're the same as ours.
[0:38] Right.
[0:59] Now, has any clients going with him?
[1:00] He'll give a chance.
[1:00] We'll bring a client in, too.
[1:01] So if you set it up, you and Jim, I'll talk.
[1:02] It's point two.
[1:02] With regard to that surcharge in Latin America and Kennedy and things, I'm trying to avoid getting involved with Peterson and his point on it.
[1:05] But Schultz is also busy in Washington.
[1:06] Would you sort of
[1:07] Smell around the edges and see how that thing is going.
[1:29] Yeah, and well, what I'm getting at, maybe you can talk to George, and if you, I have it in mind, if you, George, Peterson, and McCracken and I might meet, I've got to have an interim report on what's going on.
[1:33] Connelly has come and sent me reports in.
[1:34] Not yet.
[1:35] We don't need it, but I think it might be well, but I have a certain sort of a report before a pitch goes as to what, how we stand on this thing.
[1:58] So what the left is gonna get and also how the Canadians is coming along.
[2:00] So if you could sort of let me know, I think with the four of us in here, then I can sort of get a feel of the situation.
[2:03] And also, I'm going to let Peterson have a few of these for you.
[2:17] Yeah.
[2:17] And, uh, so you can run that by.
[2:17] Thank you.
[2:18] All right.
