[0:05] I know it is.
[0:20] All we're trying to do now is to give him some ability back in the commission to keep some of the extremists like Hughes and the rest from going out and giving him a dissenting report or something that we have to repudiate outright.
[0:33] The Attorney General's feeling is that we listened to him.
[0:49] The fact of the meeting is all we need right now plus a picture.
[0:50] He's asked for a picture.
[0:51] And he just told me, he said, I know what the game is.
[0:52] He said, we're just going to get a picture.
[0:53] I'll go back to the commission.
[0:54] I'll tell them, John, that we met, listened, was appreciative of all your press pictures.
[0:55] No, sir, it's just all I have.
[0:56] We'll just try.
[0:56] There's no press picture that we planned for this time.
[0:58] I think so.
[1:13] I'm worried about the meaning of the reason to deal with it.
[1:17] It should add up, but I'm totally set here to test it.
[1:18] And Jerry will be here gently in case you'd like to say what we're doing in the Special Action Office, some of the strategies that are being developed.
[1:23] So we had some discussions with operational programs as being a huge long-range policy work and planning related to those two, so we can discuss that.
[1:27] And you'll cut the meeting off?
[1:27] Yes, sir.
[1:27] I'll do it in about 15 minutes.
[1:28] All right.
[1:28] We have a swerving ceremony and we have to clear the office for it.
[1:37] So 25,000 people.
[1:37] That's it.
[1:37] We're good.
[1:38] Well, it's terrible.
[1:40] It's great to get it.
