 How's things going? Everything's fine up here. We don't know any more than you do yet, but we feel good. What happens outside, out there now? What happened, sir? There now. Nothing out there. We have recommendations and comments going back and forth, but there's no further event on the scene. As far as I know, Taylor isn't the opinion that you've seen, but he's also the opinion that we have time to get organized. She and my brother are working on the staff work we expected to take several days to get the kinds of plans and counter-plans and the checks and balances that we were talking about yesterday. Worked out. How's it? Military have accepted that, as I understand it. What about with the approval? Well, I haven't actually heard from Bob back, but the messages back and forth show good humor. I don't think there's any immediate trouble, but I think they're operating under the assumption that we're really getting ready and at the same time we're not sending anything to the field that implies the decision. So, Max, does you just know how sharply and clearly you educated your intentions to General Wheeler yesterday? We just don't want that in the tables, so we're ready to go. Are you less sharp on it? Mr. President, I feel in a way that nobody should ask you to make any decision until you're acting with today behind you. If I were deciding it, yes, I feel about as you did yesterday, but I don't think anyone should decide anything until you have this day under your belt. Have you heard from any of the politicians today, any of the writers, or Lipman or the rest? Walter's been around. He's supposed to work on this problem right away. Lipman talked to Bill Moyers. I haven't got back to Bill, and I don't know what he said. Walter, of course, as usual, wanted to make up our minds, put a necessary amount of time on himself in Asia. Walter doesn't really think that's problem number one. I think he thinks the first 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 with him about two days ago. He wouldn't put the stage at first 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, are all of the view that you're going to get. Jay Lam, for example, came in this afternoon, or if the view that you're going to get such a mandate that you'll be able to set any course you want in any part of the world, I'm a little less of the view that our elections decide thoroughly events everywhere else. I am too, and I'm less of the view that it's going to be that big. I just don't know yet.
