I've seen a copy of it. It's very mild, thank God. And also boring, I think.
Now you did a number -- you went to a number of the board meetings of the Braniff?
Braniff board meetings. Braniff is doing marvelously well. They have a direct flight from Dallas to London with a 747, and they're going to have a Concorde flight to Washington and then to Paris and London this fall.
A Concorde flight?
Yes. The Concorde's going to fly on a sub-sonic speed form Washington to Dallas and come back sub-sonic, and then fly super-sonic --
How does this link up with Braniff Airlines?
Well, Braniff's people are going to fly the Concorde from Washington to Dallas and back to Washington. It's going to be a Braniff service.
This is the manner in which it gets --?
That's the way it gets used in the United States.
That's a very clever idea.
Certainly is.
Who brought this up? Did you?
No. Not me. It was Mr. Harding Lawrence. who is very bright, understands how to do everything about aviation. He needs very little help.
