I'm Mike Ransome.
:13:03
I'm the Middle East desk chief
over at the State Department.
:13:06
I'm here to help you get through
your press conference.
:13:10
Mom, I'll call you back.
Give my love to Dad.
:13:12
Okay, bye-bye.
:13:15
You sure don't look like one.
:13:17
- Like one what?
- A middle-aged desk clerk.
:13:20
No, no, that's Middle East desk chief.
:13:23
- More mail.
- More mail!
:13:27
- You're hearing from a lot of people?
- Liza Minnelli!
:13:30
This is a list of 90 names.
All marriage proposals.
:13:35
Well, I may have to turn
some of them down.
:13:37
Are you married, Mr. Ransome?
:13:39
Hey, Donna, come on.
Give the guy a break, okay?
:13:43
I mean, really.
:13:45
- Are you married, Mr. Ransome?
- Not anymore.
:13:48
- Congratulations, neither am I.
- I know.
:13:51
Oh, yeah? What else do you know?
:13:53
I know that we don't have much time.
:13:56
If you'll just let me fill you in
on this material...
:14:00
This map is part of the background
material we're giving to the press.
:14:05
Here is the emir's country.
:14:08
- In yellow?
- Yes.
:14:10
And pretty. It's a pretty
little country.
:14:12
You cannot help but discern
its strategic importance...
:14:16
...to the West in terms
of its proximity to the Gulf.
:14:19
And its value as a buffer,
geographically speaking...
:14:22
...between these two rival nations.
:14:25
Wow.
:14:26
Dr. Pearlman, chief of surgery at
George Washington University Hospital.
:14:31
He's finishing his report on
the details of Ms. Davis' condition.
:14:35
The young lady herself,
in the center of all...
:14:38
Mr. Hilley's office.
:14:40
Would you hold a moment, senator?
:14:42
Can you speak with Senator Miller?
:14:46
Tell him I'll call him back
when this is over.
:14:48
I want to watch it.
:14:50
I apologize, senator.
:14:52
Can Mr. Hilley call you back as soon
as this press conference is over?
:14:55
It won't be but a minute.
:14:57
Wonderful. Thank you. Bye-bye.
:14:59
Let's take our cameras down as Sunny
Davis is wheeled to the microphone.
