Yes, sir.
I wrote a handwritten note to Henry before he left, you know, that I specifically referred to the election thing.
Yes, that's right.
It would be very impressive, I think, if you could get it, bring it to Henry, and he should not show it to them.
I mean, he should not let them read it, but he should say, now, here's a handwritten note.
I want to tell you, gentlemen, in that note, the president specifically says, and he can paraphrase, the election is not to be a consideration.
Make the right kind of a piece.
Right, sir.
Would you do that?
Fine, will do.
