Whitlam, speaking at the Australian-American Ball in Sydney, Australia last year, commended "this proposal to the great companies and corporation--which operate in the two countries.

His message to Conrad comes perilously close to the slogan of the '60s: LET IT ALL HANG OUT. Guest's alternate solution: the love of a good woman...
