[0:31] In relation to the cartoon thing, William Cumber is on his way home.
[0:36] I'm sure he told you that.
[0:38] He's not going to negotiate at all.
[0:44] I think on that issue, I said, we're going to discuss it.
[0:47] And John Dean, I think you covered on this, John Dean requested you not mention a specific target time for the executive assembly statement that says that perhaps sometimes
[1:06] Sometime next week.
[1:07] Sometime next week.
[1:09] That doesn't tie into lunch.
[1:10] No, I don't know.
[1:14] Actually, depending on where the question comes, sometime in the near future, perhaps next week, we'll give it a little more doubt.
[1:24] But anyway, let's see if there's any... Oh, and you covered it there, stuff around the questions about whether a game...
[1:39] You've covered all of it.
[1:40] You've covered Segretti on it.
[1:41] Right.
[1:41] Yeah.
[1:41] And you have referred all the questions on Sands to the re-election committee.
[1:45] Yes, sir.
[1:46] That's what you said.
[1:47] Yes, sir.
[1:48] And, uh, but I just want to be sure that I don't say you've covered the questions if you haven't covered it.
[1:58] Claire, you didn't say I'm either covered it or it could be an election.
[2:03] No, no, no.
[2:04] On Segretti and Dean, I'm not a Dean on the White House.
[2:07] Oh, showing the stuff.
[2:10] Ray did, I believe, in his testimony, and where Dean said he didn't.
[2:15] Well, I said I didn't.
[2:19] That's right.
[2:20] Dean has made it clear to Ray that he never did show it.
[2:23] I know, but it's a personal.
[2:26] They know that.
[2:30] They should know that.
[2:31] On those 34, yeah, on Christmas, I think I will start it.
[2:47] There is a chance that they're already in Hanoi, so I wouldn't be too belligerent about it.
[2:51] Why do you think I'll say that we're expected to get here?
[2:54] Do you think so?
[2:55] I don't think any other further comment at this time would be useful.
