This is Mr. Colson.
Get me Jerry Warren, please.
Thank you.
Jerry, is the word out at all that the president is considering going to the memorial service?
Yes, sir.
Any inquiries about it?
I had Frank Cormier, you know, in his flights of fantasy last night, wanted to write a story that the president would deliver a eulogy.
And I said, you better not, you know, because you may be wrong.
He clearly would be wrong on that story.
No, I didn't want him to go out with a story the other way, you know.
He wasn't going.
That's right.
I just wanted to hold him off, hold him loose.
The only query I've had recently, I had a query coming back from Independence on what the president's participation would be.
Well, it's basically for congressional people anyway.
Well, okay.
That was too early.
Yeah, clearly isn't out.
Clearly is not out, that's correct.
Okay, thanks, Jerry.
You bet.
