[1:53] I'm just going to go back and get us in the table right now.
[1:59] I'm just going through aerospace and technology.
[2:03] And I've already just heard you say you've got 15 hands of foreign aviation companies telling you that.
[2:16] And this small business yet, business that now belongs to friends.
[2:21] And that's an important thing about America.
[2:24] I read all the security accounts the other day.

[4:34] Well, we'll be there.
[4:34] We're getting the box.
[4:36] We're getting the box.
[4:37] I think they've had a better lunch.
[4:39] I had breakfast with about 40 newsmen this morning.
[4:42] That's all they can talk about.
[4:44] Why aren't you guys as enthusiastic when you're doing it to me?
[4:47] Where are we when Bobby Baker was around?
[4:50] Where are we when Johnson is becoming a multi-millionaire?
[4:54] He's the only Republican you can get fresh ass.
[4:57] I don't know.
[5:00] Well, I don't know.
