JP - He figures that it's a mistake. TC - I'll have it for you in the morning. JP - O.K. Then we'll move this other one. Now let me tell you about our side of the delivery on this thing which as yet hasn't been affected. TC - Oh, my god1 JP - Now, this guy (COLTON?) went up to talk to (UGO) CARUSI and (PAUL P.) RAO. Do you know these guys? TC - Yeah. JP - Now, both of 'em said, "Well, there's nothing available right now. But if TOM CLARK says so, we'll fix you up. TC - Yeah.
