1. I have been speaking to Warner off and on all day. In principle, he has agreed that Morgan will acquire NASO and that it will pay a very fair price for the shares, given NASO's difficult situation. Investment bankers at Winthrop, Hawkins & Company will handle the transaction. Depositors will be made whole, and Morgan will honor all of NASO's foreign exchange and derivatives contracts. Pending your approval to­night, an announcement will be made early tomorrow morning with respect to this development. The markets will respond very positively. I expect the Dow to re­gain most of the losses it has sustained in the past two days. 2. He had visions of the authorities coming for him at any time—of them throwing him against the wall, shack­ling him with handcuffs and leg irons, and reading him his rights before ducking him into an unmarked police car. 3. The financial markets are tanking. The President’s approval rating is going to take a nosedive. He'll lose the election by a landslide. They're going to accomplish with this conspiracy what no assassination plot could have ever done.
