The President would be interested in\nthis too we're going to put all, as I said this morning, we're\ngoing first to An Loc, then to Komtum and then up there with\neverything we got. You know, he likes that idea of playing on a\nmassive\nK:\nYeah. But is that why you're doing it?\nM:\nNo, no, no; I just wanted him to know that it was being done\nbecause he likes that idea. But no, no, it was done no, no;\nnot at all, no. It was all originated down there.\nK:\nOkay, good.

We've got the latest hourly. They've taken 3 or 4\nships away from the dock but they still have them back in the river\nand they are just not willing to believe us about those the delay\nwe had in those mines.\nK:\nYeah.\nM:\nAnd they just won't come out. Well, that's all right; we'll just\nleave them in that river. We're going to do the rest of the\nFriendship tonight. At least they are out of business.\nK:\nYeah."
