Are you coming in with the Galbraith group?
I think we ought to give a contribution.
What's the problem?
Well, that was a blast.
Great.
But it seems to me we ought to start on the contributions.
I mean, you know I sent a contribution, but I don't think it can be quite that indirect, in the sense you've got to do something symbolic to get it going.
What do you suggest?
You know, do you get it past the head of the White House, get some money, maybe get $400 or $500 in the check?
They don't have to do that.
Just so he can say, I'll just hand it to him afterwards.
I'll say that, uh, here's a contribution.
Here's, here's a, I ordered, I just, I ordered a personal contribution, but here's the one with the collector.
I might as well start this off with.
Do you know what I mean?
And, uh, just get, yeah.
Why don't you write a check for us today about how much?
That's, that's a good one.
That's enough.
All right, five for $50, right?
Right.
And then, and get it from somebody around here.
All right, good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, why don't you tell him for his information?
And did you give him the amount?
Did we just say that the President sent it?
Well, I didn't give him the amount.
Did you just say the President gave it from him?
He took it down there yesterday.
And that we have a beginning on this.
Members of the White House, that's very true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's true that it's mine, actually.

When he prepared his message early in the morning, you know, which I did to myself, then I got a move to say that I talked to you about it.
You can say that I called you about it.
The president talked to me about it and suggested that we get a hold of John Galbraith and say something could be done about it, a memorial fund.
Okay.
And you can call him.
