R: We should get our answers out at the same time the stories come out.
K: I will not pass it on.
R: How was the boss?
K: It is somewhat a tense period. He was all right until he came back
and someone got to him.
R: I also wanted to talk to you about a personal matter. Chuck Colson

is calling. I will call you right back.
(9:45 - HAK returned call)
K: I have to go in to see him. Let me put it on that basis.
R: All right.
K: On the basis that obviously you would be happy to do it, but just raising
the general policy issue whether having spoken we shouldn't just keep quiet.
