[0:05] I'm going to run this meeting a little differently from this.
[0:09] I don't want to have Helms on this thing.
[0:14] You understand?
[0:15] I'll be on the television front.
[0:17] I think the thing to do is to get Rogers on some, since he will not be on anything else.
[0:25] And so I'll let him describe something.
[0:26] Yeah, that's what I meant.
[0:34] I thought I'd start with the U.N. and then go into the other thing at a later point.
[0:37] So the main point of this is we get Rogers in on something during the day and see where he's on.
[0:41] And then later this afternoon, you will come in so we get the other side.
[0:49] No, no, no, no.
[0:50] But I want it so we get the balance.
[0:52] But you see, there's no reason to have the elements in the West.
[0:56] I'll just say that we're going to have a briefing on the current situation.
[1:06] And I'll let Rock respond, OK?
[1:09] All right, fine.
