The President/Mr. Kissinger

K:
That's right; they had the two officers there and the two
one of the enlisted men.
P:

I missed the half-time ceremony.
K:
There was another tremendous ovation.
P:
And they introduced them, huh?
K:

And two noise maker bombs. Well, we're going to get the list and we
are going to make them put it out tomorrow and that's going to end it. It's
not a big deal.
P:
No, no, no. As far as the people are concerned, they would just
