[10:36] Oh, Dan, how are you?
[10:39] Fine.
[10:40] Well, I thought you'd be interested to know that this is Nixon and Patricia and Cox were...
[10:47] In the White House last night, we got the Signal Corps to run over the tapes of some of the broadcasts of the wedding.
[10:54] And I had really not had a good chance to see your whole CBS show, and I just thought it was great.
[11:02] And I appreciate your warm comments, and I wish you'd pass on my thanks to Iron McLaughlin and the producers who do that.
[11:09] It's hard to realize it's a year ago.
[11:12] My gosh, I'm getting to feel awful old with that.
[11:17] Yeah, I saw you.
[11:21] Yeah, I think that you noticed that's why we brought Trish in, because she came and she noticed it first.
[11:25] Tonight we're going to take them out.
[11:30] We offered, and I told them I had a party.
[11:33] We got people to come to their friends.
[11:35] They're all skedaddled around.
[11:37] I'm going to still work to take them out of Sequoia.
[11:43] No, I'm not.
[11:44] But anyway, I got you here, so that is quite a day.
[11:47] Wow.
[12:04] Trisha reminded me of something that her memory is better than mine.
[12:08] She said, I made the decision about going head over my head.
[12:12] And generally, I remember I called her at 11 o'clock and I said, I thought she said something.
[12:18] She said, no, but she said, because you lean so hard.
[12:21] She said, and I said, you'll put her on at 6 o'clock.
[12:25] I said, sir, what would you do?
[12:29] I don't know, I always like to take credit for them, you know, but in this case, she gave it to me, but I give it to her.
[12:35] Okay?
[12:36] We'll just say it's unanimous, like Colin and I said.
[12:40] Okay.
[12:42] Bye.
[13:09] I'm going to suggest, you might talk to Hague about it, because I'm pretty good at this sort of thing, too.
