Script (SUGGESTED TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO) 00:40 This going to be a problem for you taking over? For Terry, well, I can think of circumstances under which I would prefer to take over 01:02 There's a line Would have, I 01:04 would have been perfectly content to spend the rest of the administration as Jerry's dipping I think he's a wonderful man I think he's done a fine job as Director of Public Affairs This is a political town This is kind of town where all of us who hold politically appointed posts understand that we serve at the pleasure of the guy who runs the agency, and he decides he wants to make a change, that's something he does, and we all live with that, and we come in with our eyes open, but if, in fact, he let Terry go because Terry was insufficiently zealous, listen, I have no inside knowledge about why the Attorney General did what he did, or at this point, frankly, is it especially important to me? What's important to me is doing a good job of the Attorney General Last question, you going to be a zealous defender of Mr Nees i Why don't you wait and see Have you talked very loud? Congratulations, everybody 02:18 Thanks
