[0:00] Well, I had about 15 minutes left to go to that meeting with the Senators, but that still won't do it.
[0:06] Well, we've got to have the Senators taking that much time off.
[0:10] Now, isn't that something?
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:12] Start at one o'clock, and do that in two or three.
[0:15] If you're in time for it, half are open.
[0:19] So, I think it's okay, much less putting in less.
[0:22] Try to come to your meeting.
[0:25] You still didn't leave.
[0:27] It's late at six.
[0:30] I have to leave the meeting about 5.30 for 10 minutes to talk to Ransfeld about his briefing.
[0:37] But I'll come back and I'll see to it that it gets ended.
[0:43] Yes, Russell, the briefing, they don't need me.
[0:50] Yes.
[0:51] I don't know what the weather forecast now is, whether we can go all the way or whether you have time to talk.
[0:58] If there's one thing you might get done now, it's to get the self-agreement commitment to 74.
[1:05] We can do it.
[1:13] What we could do, what we should do tomorrow morning, Mr. President.
[1:16] Yeah.
[1:16] When we're alone, Mr. President.
[1:18] Is that why you want to meet him?
[1:22] To bring him.
[1:23] And to bring him to you?
[1:31] And you might just take an occasion to say out to the group that we're pissing out tomorrow morning.
[1:40] And probably we're going to deny it now.
[1:43] But we could just elect those four.
[1:45] That's up to us.
[1:47] Use it.
[1:48] You can invite whomever you want.
[1:50] Oh, thank you.
[1:52] And you could then get the agreement you said before.
[1:58] Secondly, uh, if we can get the Europea, the MB of our date mailed out.
[2:03] Yeah.
[2:04] For October 30th.
[2:05] Yeah.
[2:05] You said it would be a good piece of news to come out on Monday.
[2:11] Bizarre, but I think she's got being finished for this massive procreation of funds.
[2:18] Oh.
[2:18] Well, I see now.
[2:19] I just don't know whether the press will go after all of this.
[2:21] Or should they?
[2:23] It's on the front page of the Times today.
[2:27] That's Hershey's, his exclusive.
[2:31] Well, I will say, I think people will, I will say that he's got a crazy firm, you know.
[2:36] He said, well, he gave, he took $14,000 from the kids, and he took $4,800 and used it on his honeymoon, and the rest, and put an IOU in the safe.
[2:47] And then, he did not return the $14,000 until after he'd been sold to a lawyer in April.
[2:56] Ah, what the heck?
[2:57] That lady's got the top of the seat on top of a man who's got lids that make it out of the cupboard up there.
[3:03] I wonder what the situation is.
[3:05] I don't know.
[3:07] Just... No.
[3:07] Yes, uh, I've learned about that, sir.
[3:08] What we plan to do is, sir, we've got to find some work.
[3:13] We've got to find some work.
[3:15] You know what it is?
[3:16] Hang it up.
[3:17] Is there a possible issue when we get it up there?
[3:19] No.
[3:20] No, it's still something.
[3:23] Alright, make sure this is out.
[3:24] There's nothing about that that's out.
