Subject:   How to Interpret PROC FREQ Output

I understand Fisher's Exact Test. I do not understand what this SAS output from PROC FREQ is telling me:

Fisher's Exact Test ---------------------------------- Table Probability (P) 0.0036 Pr <= P 0.8329

Sample Size = 144

What is "Table Probability (P)" and what is "Pr<=P" ? If I believe the wording, both are probabilities, but that doesn't make sense.

Basically, what I'm hoping for is a number that tells me the p-value of Fisher's exact test, meaning that I want to see something less than 0.05 and I can reject H0 with alpha=0.05. Which of these numbers do I use? Or do I use neither?
