[0:03] I don't need mine.
[0:06] I just wanted to be sure they found this as a matter of style.
[0:12] Let me show you.
[0:35] Which of our fellows is going to be working on that?
[0:37] I guess Holsberg and others.
[0:39] Here it is.
[0:39] It's on the catheter.
[0:40] I'm going to come in here, and if Gary's going to control it, I'm going to count on my chest to see if Gary can do it.
[0:53] I'm going to take care of it.
[0:54] You can talk about it.
[0:57] You can talk about it.
[0:58] You can talk about it.
[1:00] You can talk about it.
[1:06] I'll give the name to Hogan and see if he's working with somebody else.
[1:29] And I'm going to tell her anyhow.
[1:36] Well, that's the way you think about this.
[1:37] Well, it isn't that.
[1:43] It isn't.
[1:43] It's not the reason.
[1:46] It's part of the reason.
[1:50] Except that it's...
[1:53] It's something that added to the eulogies that can make it...
[1:57] It makes it...
[1:58] It makes it a story rather than just being a dozen-man prose that's there.
[2:04] It makes it live.
[2:06] When you're going up to Camp David, there's a letter here which I think you would find interesting to read from Sam Pryor.
[2:15] He's, you know, back from Vietnam.
[2:18] And I talked with him this morning.
[2:20] You might like to read that one.
[2:22] And Sam Pryor wrote a letter.
[2:24] I've been, you know, I write to him back and forth.
[2:29] And he wrote me another note too long ago saying he's even further convinced how much the Jews have done in devout faith.
[2:37] And then at the end of my letter to him from San Clemente, I said, now that the Democrats have chosen Eagleton, do you think that will, what do you think it'll do in Missouri?
[2:46] You know, just for something to fill the letter.
[2:47] I just keep getting interested in reading that.
[2:50] Sure.
[2:50] Because he's talking about Eagleton and what he's like.
[2:52] Good.
[2:52] So I don't agree with that point.
[2:55] Yeah, that's a good thing to do.
[2:58] And I've got some other little FYIs I'll bring in.
[3:01] I'll put those in at the same time.
[3:02] Because these two are very important.
[3:05] Right.
[3:07] Does he really confirm that?
[3:09] Drinking too much?
[3:12] Yes, sir.
[3:15] You can't, you know, I'll say it, but you know, you can't bring it in.
[3:20] Yes.
[3:20] Because he knows.
[3:21] I'll send him up there.
[3:22] I'll get him up.
[3:22] Yes, sir.
