[0:01] Here you go, Mr.
[0:12] Gay.
[0:13] Uh-huh.
[0:15] Uh-huh.
[0:16] Uh-huh.
[0:17] Uh-huh.
[0:19] Uh, they had requested, and I checked on this, they actually did want to request that Popston be accepted for the promise to join us, you know, all over the show, since they may or may not.
[0:28] Otherwise, I don't know what to say.
[0:33] And the only other item I asked on the church service coming up on the 14th,
[0:40] Do you have any particular desires?
[0:42] Chuck Colson says he thinks Roman Catholic would be good, or Fred Rhodes, who's our deputy administrator over here at the VA, or this Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which we've only had once, and he said he'd like to have one last year.
[0:59] Well, uh, we had some trouble, frankly, getting some athletes at this time of the year.
[1:03] Yeah?
[1:03] And, uh, we might have to tell them...
[1:06] I think we've done that.
[1:06] I think we've done that.
[1:07] Yes, sir.
[1:08] Yes, sir.
[1:09] We had an attack.
[1:15] Yeah.
[1:15] Oh, you had an attack.
[1:18] No, I don't think we have to do that.
[1:20] I just recommended this Archbishop Medeiros in Boston, which I think is clearly better than that.
[1:24] It's Boston.
[1:25] That's the church.
[1:25] Yeah.
[1:26] I won't have to see you.
[1:27] All right.
[1:27] We'll be back.
