Whether or not this council in America has seen Robert, do you know?
Go check.
I'll find out.
Go check right away.
If they haven't, he'll have to come.
They are going to see him.
I don't know.
I figure I'm going to see him.
Let me explain.
He's just been to Latin America.
Somebody has checked it already, of course.
And therefore, he would have to be here if they aren't seeing him anyway.
If, on the other hand, they brought him to the State Department and seen him there, then he doesn't have to be here.
