This friend of mine down in Arkansas has made this armor.

There's a letter there that he wrote me.

He wanted to present it out at the, uh, let's send it around so you can get the picture of it.

Do you want, do you want it open?

So he would have preferred to have it open at a different time.

So it's there on the dash.

It comes right out of the box.

I'll put it over there.

This is what you call one of those buoy nuts, buoy nuts, buoy nuts.

And he made it, and you can look on the side of it, and that shows you something about the river then.

These nights were used for, they were buoy nuts.

We had to buy some big, pretty do-overs.

This is Henry.

Look at this engraving here on it.

The name is on it.

Look at that.

The steamboat, the steamer there.

I've met him.

I'm not a real ghost.

We don't see anybody.

Don't worry.

I thought this was worthy of your acceptance.

I always liked this stuff.

I didn't think it was.

I want to put it over there.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Now this is the, this is the new, the paper that's with the signature.

That's for you.

Now, the smallest one.

This is for your right.

This is the, that's the seal.

That's all you've got to do.

You've got everything out.

All right.

Thank you very much.

I didn't write it on there, so it's fine.

Well, they can't do it.

This guy stood up.

He doesn't.

Well, it's hard.

What do you mean?

You know something?

I heard you.

I had this person, you know, somebody who came in and said, you know, you know, let's get over here.

And he said, after all that, you know, Johnson, you know, you need to come back from there.

And Johnson said, you know,

But the government is not going to declassify some of the World War II stuff.

It hasn't declassified any of the very ancient little Korean stuff.

And this is an attack on the whole institution of government.

If somebody can walk out with top secret documents,

and give them to a paper we will and we cannot have nothing happen.

Do you realize that people will take auctions on some of the papers and rent them?

That's right.

We will.

I was actually reading some feedback here now.

You may have seen a headline by one of the colleagues.

Access to over 300 million dollars worth of...

securities in the last four years.

We've made over a hundred.

That hundred million dollars is accounted for.

What difference is there in the New York Times or any other paper taking stolen documents and publishing them?

And a thief that takes stolen merchandise and sells it.

The same principle in any book.

Except only they squeal censorship.

Well, my God.

They have to have something.

That's something.

That's exactly right.

A thief.

A thief takes... That's what occurred to me.

Whoever, whoever, not knowingly, knowingly sells stolen goods.

You know those, you see those, isn't it?

Whoever, knowingly, takes stolen goods.

And they know this is counter-intentional.

It wasn't given out by a party.

So there was the tape.

And you knew that it hurt something.

The president knew the tape.

All right, thank you.
