[0:01] He made it appear whether he meant it or

[0:03] not to the American people. He was

[0:05] sending somebody a signal to what? Oh,

[0:07] you just be good and be quiet and we'll

[0:10] take care of it later. Now, did he mean

[0:12] that? I don't know what he meant. And

[0:13] maybe he ought to just say rule out any

[0:15] pardon. Well, should he? Not ought to.

[0:18] Should he? Should he say right now

[0:20] unequivocally no pardons for these

[0:22] people? I think he doesn't have any

[0:24] choice to say it's not going to happen

[1:02] Why not do it? Why not? Well, you have

[1:04] to lose.

[1:06] Well, uh, let me think about it.

[1:10] In fact, he is considering announcing

[1:12] such a promise, as well as announcing

[1:14] that he has commitments from General

[1:17] Powell and former Secretary of

[1:19] State James Baker to be in a Dole

[1:21] cabinet. Baker would like to be

[1:23] Secretary of Defense and Powell

[1:26] Secretary of State. Dole's problem, he

[1:28] fears that such announcements would be

[1:30] viewed as desperation. Dan, thanks,

[1:34] Phil. And later in this broadcast, a

[1:36] report on the new images of the

[1:38] candidates's domestic running mates,
