Yeah.
Mrs. Acker.
Yeah.
Hello.
Marge.
Yes.
Now, you can take this, but if you will look at the, oh, page 14, page 14.
Right.
The sentence ending, it has been a long and difficult trial for us.
Yes.
Yeah.
From there on, I want you to, not for me, but for the draft you give to Kissinger to leave the conclusion in that is in the old speech.
You see what I mean?
Let me explain.
This is all a change, you know, part of it is a change, remember?
Right, the insert.
But where I say, but I can assure you tonight with the confidence, remember that's part of the insert on the yellow page.
What I want you to do is to go right back to the draft that I was working on.
Find that draft.
You got it in front of you?
Right.
All right, what does it say right after it has been a long and difficult trial for us?
But now ahead we can see the end.
All right, fine.
That sentence.
And everything else from there on, as it was in that draft, that's the draft you give to him.
Fair enough?
Yes.
That's right.
Just give it to him, nobody else at this point.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
