TALKING POINTS 1. I just want to drop in at the start of your staff meeting here and tell you General Haig is going to be working for the present in Bob's office and I expect all of you to give him the same cooperation that you gave Bob. 2. We are going through some difficult times, but we have been through similarly difficult times during countless occasions in the first term. 3. It has been the dedication, loyalty, and skill on the White House senior staff that has been the major factor in the list of accomplishments on both the national and international scene.
