 Mr. Bundy, I have the secretary on the line. Happy election day, Mr. Bundy. How are you? Fine, just a moment for the president. Outside, outside of Vietnam? Uh, nothing out there. We have, uh, recommendations and, uh, going back and forth, but there's no further advance about yesterday worked out. How's she? The military have accepted that, as I understand it. Uh, well, that was, uh, it was, uh... it is back and forth, so good humor. I don't think he had trouble, but I think they're, they're operating under the assumption that, uh, uh, we're really getting ready to decide the decision. So, Max, let's just know how sharply and clearly you educated your intention to General Wheeler yesterday. We just don't want that in the tables, so we're ready to go. Do you, are you less sharp on it? Uh, Mr. President, I feel, I feel in a way that we didn't, that nobody should ask you to make any decision until you're acting with today behind you. Yeah. If I were deciding it, yes, I feel about as you did yesterday, but I don't think anyone should decide anything until you're, until you have this day under your belt. Have you heard from any, uh, the politicians today, any of the writers, uh, Leppmann's or the rest? Uh, all that's been around. He's, he's at the mood to, uh, work on this problem, uh, right away. Uh, Leppmann talked to Bill Moyers. I haven't got back to Bill, and I don't know what he said. Uh, all of them, of course, as usual, uh, want us to make up our minds and put it the necessary amount of time in Southeast Asia. Walter does really think that's problem number one. I think he thinks the utmost important problem is to get you to take time to think about the problem in the new perspective that today will give. That's what he did think when I had lunch at him two days ago. He wouldn't put, uh, East Asia first on the, uh, on the agenda, although I think that's because he's not really as close to it as some of the rest of it. The press generally, or all of the views that you're going to get, a very shillam, for example, came in this afternoon, or the view that you're going to get such a mandate that you will be able to set any course you want in any part of the world. Uh, I'm a little less of the view that our elections decide thoroughly events everywhere else, but I am too. And I'm less of the view that it's going to be that big. Well, I just don't know, yes. Did they run three or four full page ads a day and then saturate the television? No, they haven't. The television's not here. The papers in New York were full of ads, but mostly about Kennedy Keating. I, uh, Bill would have more direct political news than I have, but, uh, when I had talked to him this morning, he sounded very un-worried. Uh, and the view that the thing really was, uh, had come down to the last two or three days, a very good way to put it to me was he did not have the worries he'd been having two or three days ago. We're in a situation now where we'll know a lot more in an hour and a half, and we'll really know something from Connecticut and something from the model precinct. My understanding is that the CBSS, at least this is what they... I had lunch with the wife. I saw her door, absolutely, in the bag. Uh, they say to watch Blue Harris because they've been up and down it in every, uh, primary and in every 162 elections, and he really does know how to get it very close. You want to marry there, marry in Washington, would you? Yes, there she is. Give her my love until I've seen her in so long that I... No, Mr. President, and how have you been? It must have been a long day for you. I just fell apart, Mike. I just fell apart. My back is killing me. My head is hurting. I haven't been up all day. Well, you didn't, but you... I gather you had time to show the boys how to draw water from a well. That hit the tickers nice and a little sharp. Well, I did there this morning. I got to bed late and no one got up early, but we had a... Oh, we had a... People are so good. They're so good. I'm sure you've had the most wonderful wealth down there. We never had anything in 100 years, like it's probably 125,000. That's as far as you can see. Had as many almost as the town's got. And not an ugly sign and not an ugly word. And we didn't have any bitterness in our head. We just said that to here we are, and we prepared for this. And if you're well, we continue okay. We've got great country and we've got... We're blessed and... It was just wonderful evening. It's very touching air evening, but I got so sorted that I didn't realize how much I'd been doing and how high I... up on the mountain had been. I've been keyed too high. Well, you've just been living on air and on the curve for a month now, and I can promise you, Mr. President, that we are all right here and we're none of us going anywhere any further than our deaths over the next few days so we get sorted out. And there isn't anything that needs a hurried decision. My own judgment is that, A, I think it is going to be a big victory and I think it's going to be a stronger one, stronger than I'd been guessing until the last two or three days. There is some gossip that the posters have all shaded their heads their best and that their private betting is that it's going to be even bigger than they published, but I don't know how much truth there is. Trance, tell Mary hello for him, and we'll get together and get back and transfer him into bail if you can. If the operator comes back on. Can you get... Which tech point house is this? That's fine. Mr. Moyer, President wants to reach. Thank you.
