I was wondering on Mike Kerr if there are any new members of the group with regard to the White House.

I went back up and down the line with your hands of all of them and they sang back to you.

Yes, sir.

And I think you did pretty much that also.

I got a few of them, not all, but here at the White House I know I went over

and shared hands with all of them, the little, the two little girls.

I remember them all so well.

I don't, I know, that's why I don't want to repeat it to Steve, Steve, but if, if it's, if there's no matter.

Did you want to see where I was?

Yeah.

Oh, uh, Bill, I forgot to mention, Otto passed this idea.

He probably had to see me very soon.

And, uh, I don't know, uh, I suppose it's on, uh,

Yeah.

Well, call him and tell him that you want to see him when he comes.

If Passman hit me last night, then since Passman's leaving, he should call and say the president asked him to check with this, and then clearly we'll give it some thought and not make a decision until he returns, and then we'll be able to cut it out.

Okay?

All right.
