[0:00] Let's leave it open, Steve, at the present time.
[0:13] And in the meantime,
[0:30] I think probably if I did sing, I would do it at about 3 o'clock.
[0:37] Well, I could at least velocity and everything and seeing how things sort out.
[0:48] Let's see.
[0:53] I'm trying to get a talking paper.
[0:59] He is.
[1:01] All right.
[1:01] Do you want to see him here?
[1:04] No, I want to see him alone for a while.
[1:08] I'll call you again when I get to the point that I have to.
[1:16] Well, I think maybe I would want to see him.
[1:20] And shall we say it...
[1:34] I'd like for him, when he comes in, to, uh, if he could, uh, meet with George Shultz on, uh, wage, on, I don't know, on wage price controls.
[1:49] And, excuse me, could come with me privately.
[1:51] Yeah, yeah, I'd like that.
[1:52] Yeah, I'd like that.
[1:53] Yeah, I want him to meet with him, to get his views, so that I can do it.
[1:56] I'd like for him also to, uh, meet with the Bona on the energy thing.
[2:03] In other words, you see him just before he sees me.
[2:13] Those two problems would be good if he could get away.
[2:16] And then perhaps I could see Conway closer to around 5 o'clock.
[2:23] In other words, if he could do that, and he could have a chat with Roy Ash,
[2:33] and Hayes with regard to various activities, you know, that he's going to take on and make some assignments, but I'd like for him to have a chance to think about them before I talk, and then if I have a lot of time, I will sit down and chat about the various things I'd like for him to do.
[2:55] Fair enough.
[2:55] That would make me clear on what I plan to do.
[2:58] This might be able to take care of it.
[3:00] Schultz, do you want to meet with me for about 20 minutes on that?
[3:04] Yeah, thanks.
[3:07] Well, it might not.
[3:11] Let me stay on Schultz.
[3:17] Make a date for him.
[3:19] Mr. Marowitz?
[3:20] Yes, sir.
[3:21] What do we have in the morning?
[3:25] All right, fine.
[3:25] I'll make a date for Schultz.
[3:27] Okay.
[3:39] Or if you can't make that, at 3 o'clock Wednesday, 10 or 3, either one.
[3:43] Whichever's the best time, I'll meet with Schultz.
[3:46] Do you want to do that?
[3:48] No, no, no.
[3:50] I'll just meet alone with Schultz.
[3:51] I don't need anybody on that, so I don't need to just hurry out of Texas.
[3:57] I'd better keep Dave from overworking, or golf since I'm there.
[4:02] All right.
[4:07] So make the date for either 10 or 10.
[4:09] And then if I get some time, et cetera, let me just call him over then.
[4:12] So he knows that, and our crew, he takes care of our parts of that.
