I'm going to run this meeting a little differently from this.
I don't want to have Helms on this thing.
You understand?
I'll be on the television front.
I think the thing to do is to get Rogers on some, since he will not be on anything else.
And so I'll let him describe something.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
I thought I'd start with the U.N. and then go into the other thing at a later point.
So the main point of this is we get Rogers in on something during the day and see where he's on.
And then later this afternoon, you will come in so we get the other side.
No, no, no, no.
But I want it so we get the balance.
But you see, there's no reason to have the elements in the West.
I'll just say that we're going to have a briefing on the current situation.
And I'll let Rock respond, OK?
All right, fine.
