[0:00] Mr. President, right now, Bob Brown is trying to get down centers and try to get a third committee from centers.
[0:24] He was scheduled once before to come in.
[0:30] Well, I talked to him in there, and I feel that I really have.
[0:36] But I think in terms of if he wants to do it, he would go across the street and announce publicly for you.
[0:48] If you don't wish to do that, I just want to push it to the best of my ability.
[0:54] I think he's good for this meeting.
[0:56] I just leave him alone.
[0:57] I chat with him a little bit there.
[0:59] I just leave him alone.
[1:03] I just feel a little uncomfortable about trying to push him.
[1:07] Well, he's not being pushed.
[1:07] I'm just saying.
[1:09] Brown doesn't give him a way back.
[1:10] The advantage to Gail Sears is that, obviously, not just a black representative, but he has a rapport.
[1:17] I can use that to serve quite a few people across the board.
[1:19] Well, there's a lot of browns to bring him in.
[1:22] Well, we'll have a reading in a few minutes what Sayers wants to do.
[1:26] Sayers, don't question it.
[1:28] He's not making any answers.
