Hi, Krista-

No problemo.

1. There were indeed hundreds in attendance throughout the event and possibly as many as a thousand as your fact checker estimates; the mention of 200 people was an edits added by Tim, whom I've cc'd on this so that you guys can decide what to do.

2. This other line refers to the SALT, START, and SORT treaties which were negotiated and/or updated by all of the U.S. presidents mentioned.

I'll be around all day so let me know if there are any other questions.

Hey Barrett,
I have a couple things remaining on fact checking, and I was wondering if you could help me find them. Unfortunately, we're on a tight deadline to get this confirmed, so if there's any way you can point me in the right direction before this afternoon, I'd greatly appreciate it. 

1. Our fact checker said there were about 1000 people who attended the rally that you lead with. Were there only 200 people who were at Metzger's speech? 
2. She was unable to confirm this statement: "....a series of treaties that were updated by George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and area man George W. Bush, and which eventually resulted in an 80 percent reduction of all nuclear weapons."

Thanks for your help!
Krista
