uh tell you what  um i'll let you start or  if that's all right
 	
 	
 		okay um
 		my major source of information i guess is TV news  excuse me
 		i uh wake up to it in the morning this is my i guess my prime time for news first thing in the morning while i'm getting ready to go to work
 		oh i
 		quite frequently uh glance through headlines or in the newspaper
 		but uh primarily mine is uh TV news
 		how about yourself
 	
 	
 		pretty interesting yeah i have to have to agree with you um
 		normally don't have time in the morning to to watch the any type of TV usually catch it going to work on the radio
 		or when i drag the paper in from the front and it pops out of the bag i usually catch the headlines which is normally what you see the night before on the evening news  yeah so uh i've kind of um
 	
 	
 		um true
 	
 	
 		uh we have a one year old in the house so it's kind of hard sometimes to watch TV during the during the during the night but i usually try to catch the ten o'clock or um
 		um those type of issues i'd to say during the war uh there were we were the American public was probably flooded with um
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		uh too much information and as far as the sub question about was i satisfied am i satisfied with the coverage i'd have to say
 		yes but when it came to the war issues it was like who's telling the truth you could between the channels there was
 		uh the casualties were differently the amount of missiles launched were different and it was almost too much information over-communicated
 	
 	
 		well that's true but uh i
 		uh my personal opinion is that the uh the various network news  medias were uh
 		trying to interpret the news to the best of their abilities since they were not very well informed by the military
 	
 	
 		true i agree with you
 	
 	
 		now i can appreciate that especially after what happened in Vietnam
 	
 	
 		yeah which is a is a joke
 	
 	
 		uh but
 		i mean let's face it today's today's uh means of communications we could uh very well a newscaster could very well give away away a
 		piece of top secret information
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		and uh
 		pat himself on the back for for uh
 		making a big scoop
 	
 	
 		yeah that's a good point uh but i would have to say across the board i'm i'm satisfied with the way uh
 		the news is is spread um of course here at Texas Instruments uh the rumor mill runs rampant the secretary's probably are the best resource of what the layoff status is
 	
 	
 		very true i find T News very enlightening and i check that everyday and of course with that goes along the the stock price of TI
 	
 	
 		yes
 		yeah
 		
 
 		yeah yeah yeah i agree with you i i'm glad you mentioned that because i think i have to since i don't have the opportunity in the morning i'll probably catch the the head lines on T News that's a good point
 	
 	
 		of course T News is is more or less headlines uh i don't think much of of their sports coverage
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 		yeah true kind of short
 	
 	
 		all they give the scores
 	
 	
 		yeah least
 	
 	
 		but uh that's right i'm not
 		yeah outside of of uh pro football i'm not too interested in other games uh other sports anyway
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		but uh the the T News is is a good way to keep up to date i think they do a pretty good job selecting the most important items
 	
 	
 		well that's great
 		yeah i do i surely do
 		they do they surely do uh anything anything else cross your mind uh i guess most of us go by the audio which is the the television television or the radio
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		um
 		yeah but you need to continue to read so you you can people learn to read you know
 	
 	
 		well i spent twenty years in professional in uh commercial broadcasting ten in radio and then ten in uh TV
 		and i know what it takes to get some of those little bits and of bits and pieces of news on the air
 	
 	
 		hm
 	
 	
 		uh i mean there there are times where uh video uh reporter actually will risk is life life and limb i've seen it happen time and time again
 		and uh  well i remember one time up in Nashville Tennessee was one of the fellows fellows got mixed up in a with a riot going on down there but he was lucky he got out of it
 	
 	
 		hm
 	
 	
 		for some reason because he was carrying a camera
 		uh they left him alone
 	
 	
 		ouch everybody got excited
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 	
 	
 		that's tough that's tough  well i've enjoyed speaking with you
 	
 	
 		nice talking to you too Jim
 	
 	
 		did you get your catalog on your your your gifts
 	
 	
 		no
