	:Gore Vidal: "Well, just the night before the final flight, she reported in and they had a code phrase, 'personnel problems,' which meant Noonan was back drinking. And my father said, 'Just stop it right now and come home,' and G.P. agreed and said, 'Come back, abort the flight, forget it, come home.' And then she said, 'Oh, no,' and she said, 'I think it’ll be all right,' something like that. So you may put that down to invincible optimism or it may have been huge pessimism."

	The phrase was used in a telegram, not a telephone call. [[Ric Gillespie]] says that there was no phone call from Earhart to Putnam in Lae: "Amelia did not talk to her husband from Lae. She did telephone a travelogue story to the New York Herald Tribune, as she had from nearly every stop on the world flight. Putnam was in California and communicating with his wife by telegram."<ref>[http://tighar.org/news/news/earhart-project/93-part-2-of-rics-review "Part 2 of Ric's Review of Amelia, the movie."]</ref>

	It may have been a typo for "personal," meaning that [[Earhart]] herself was feeling unwell; it may have been a reference to both [[Earhart]] and [[Noonan]] (exhaustion or some other malady); or, of course, it may refer to [[Noonan]] alone. The possibility that it might refer to drinking or a hangover cannot, of course, be eliminated by recognizing that there are other possible interpretations.
