[0:00] Would you please get the, uh, uh, oh, you get a cigarette.
[0:06] I really got the word right today.
[0:29] What is it?
[0:30] How many have you got?
[0:31] A second, sir.
[0:32] What do you need?
[0:34] Well, I don't get it yet, but what is it?
[0:37] We have to be there tomorrow.
[0:39] I'll see if you can move it before you go to one of those districts.
[0:41] If you already know, I probably told you about it a few months ago.
[0:44] I don't think it's anywhere near there, sir.
[0:51] I'll see if I can get it to California.
[0:54] All right.
[0:54] All right.
[0:55] I'm doing it.
[0:56] It's getting out of the way.
[0:57] Let's see what we can do, sir.
[0:58] I don't want to get him out of the way.
[1:01] I've got to have some time after all this to prepare my things for Chicago City.
[1:09] I just want to get him out of the way tomorrow.
[1:14] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:16] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:17] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:19] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:20] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:23] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:25] That's all I'm going to do.
[1:28] Why do they have black credentials?
[1:32] Because the situation in the house can be done at 1.30, 7 a.m. That's an awkward hour.
[1:36] We do it at 1.30, 7 a.m. We'll have to close the house.
[1:38] Sure, it's a late night.
[1:40] This is 16, 7 a.m. You can hear it many times in the morning.
[1:46] All right.
[1:47] I'm very good at watching.
[1:49] Thanks.
[1:49] And then we go to the bill, and I'm going to have to leave.
[1:54] It's 8, 9, 15.
[1:54] No, excuse me.
[1:55] 7, 9, 15, 5, 6.
[1:59] We've got a lot of Congressmen.
[2:02] Yes, Senator, apparently Senator Baker is going to accept the adult invitations, right?
[2:08] Don't put too many of our people, like the, like the Corallo, which isn't that much on the board, and put more of the big shots on the board, like a Laird should be on, if he's willing.
[2:24] And Laird is, well, he's going to be back on Thursday.
[2:28] Well, I hate it because what I meant is they're big shots, and they say I have to talk to big shots.
[2:34] Otherwise, I'll have to talk to them.
[2:37] I'm going to have to talk to them too.
[2:41] We may end up using two planes to carry some of the aggression tests, because we frequently get a backup plane that follows you when you have a new test, aggression test, on the backup plane.
[2:53] Good chance to have a major test.
[2:58] excepting the fish.
[3:06] You know, the only key is to get in line.
[3:10] I don't know what time it's all on, I think.
[3:15] You get out there at 11 o'clock, speak for, I mean, I'm going to give 15 minutes.
[3:23] 15 minutes.
[3:24] 15 feet.
[3:25] Yes, sir.
[3:26] Yes, sir.
[3:28] You and Mrs. Dirksen unveil the cornerstone, you speak, and that was it for it.
[3:45] There is an option on the way back.
[3:50] Take Mrs. Dirksen.
[3:53] Dr. Roberts, a house in Fairfield County where a gay group had a 96-year-old girl next to me sitting on the porch.

[3:59] How do you do?
[4:01] Hi.
[4:01] Sure.
[4:02] Good to meet you, sir.

[4:10] Yes, sir.
[4:11] Good.
[4:12] Thank you, sir.
[4:14] Before I see you on the tape, I have to say we're ready to come in.
[4:18] Come in, all six of you.
[4:20] Ron asked if he could delay about 10 minutes.
[4:23] He's right here.
[4:24] I'm meeting with Len Garland.
[4:26] He said he'd be right here.
[4:28] All right, bye.
[4:30] Hey, Garland's free.
