[0:00] Just one quick thing.
[0:02] We just, on Bermuda, down at the bridge, I'm very anxious if you can say a government house.
[0:10] I see you probably have to.
[0:14] Put it in my book.
[0:17] It gives you some of the privacy.
[0:23] I put one thing down.
[0:27] Strong Thurman wants to bring his baby into the picture.
[0:29] I am talking to Paul.
[0:30] It's Thursday.
[0:31] I told Mark at 12 noon it would be a good time if he could bring him in.
[0:40] This makes him a good man, a good type of man.
[0:45] Another thing, uh, Stan wants to report to me on his trip to Russia.
[0:48] I know, I've got that.
[0:50] And it's, uh... How's he doing?
[0:53] Well...
[0:55] I don't know if we want to catch him.
[0:56] Maybe we want to squeeze the Russians for the rest of the time.
[0:59] We're going to raise a quarter more.
[1:01] It's hard.
[1:02] But ask Henry.
[1:03] My view about it is to get the damn thing over with by doing it in Kansas City.
[1:07] And then let me talk to Cole.
[1:08] Well, that was our plan.
[1:09] He's tried to move around.
[1:12] He said he knows he's going to report to the cabinet.
[1:14] He understood that that was suggested, but he still feels he needs to report to the president.
[1:19] Okay.
[1:20] Okay.
[2:06] Did they finally work Schultz into that thing tonight?
[2:13] I don't see a problem with Schultz.
[2:17] He was censored because he was included.
[2:19] John told me the way back, so I had to get to the room.
[2:22] Somebody's off.
[2:23] I don't know.
[2:24] I guess I need to go home.
[2:25] He's been there a great hundred times.
[2:33] Were you able to work that Schultz thing out?
[2:34] The dinner poster helped him.
[2:37] How are you doing?
[2:39] David's not coming.
[2:43] Yeah.
[2:43] Yeah.
[2:44] Yeah.
[3:08] Well, it's too bad.
[3:09] We're sorry.
[3:09] He should be included in something in the future.
[3:13] Now, look.
[3:18] What you doing?
[3:19] What is it?
[3:20] For the Brazilians?
[3:22] You had it for that purpose.
[3:24] Now, the other thing is this.
[3:26] I don't think that if you haven't filed anything, I don't think they should be included tomorrow.
[3:31] You've got them tomorrow night also.
[3:38] Yeah, because we've been heavily loathing, you know, they've been loathing.
[3:40] I know, you know what I mean.
[3:44] This is... All right.
[3:46] Okay, fine.
[3:48] All right, fine.
[3:50] I understand.
[3:51] That's the way it should be.
[3:53] That's the way it should be.
[3:54] I just want you to know, if you have a problem, I can pay you.
[3:58] All right.
[3:59] Okay.
[4:01] Fine.
[4:11] Why at all?
[4:11] I guess that's whatever we worry about.
[4:13] Well, as you said, well, it's noticed when he's not there, but it doesn't make any talk about this.
[4:24] Now, about that, he's not going to go to these meetings.
[4:27] You understand?
[4:27] He's not going to go to the meetings.
[4:30] See, that's the reason I didn't have him.
[4:33] And I didn't put him on because he's not going to the British.
[4:35] He's not going to the French.
[4:36] He's not going to the British.
[4:38] And that's not going to be a change on that, right?
[4:41] Because we're not getting either one of these two state permits.
[4:45] Yeah.
[4:46] Yeah.
[4:46] OK.
