[0:00] Yeah.
[0:03] Well, Pat, I want to tell you it's all worked out fine because we're only planning on 45 to 50 for Stag.
[0:12] We're just going to invite the wives and make it a nice dinner of 90 people, perhaps.
[0:20] That'll be it.
[0:21] Good.
[0:21] I think that's great.
[0:22] And also, as far as the period between that and the wedding, the only other thing that we have planned
[0:28] is the following night I have to give a reception, you know, for the 80th Congress people.
[0:36] Is it going to be at the White House?
[0:37] It'll be here, yeah, just a reception.
[0:37] Yeah.
[0:38] With the wives?
[0:39] Wives, sure.
[0:43] It's just a reception, though, and a cocktail.
[0:44] That's all.
[0:44] And then we...
[0:45] Nothing else.
[0:46] Turn it off.
[0:47] Nothing else.
[0:48] Nothing else except I'll have a breakfast now.
[0:49] Yeah, but Dick, we even have to talk about that because there are ways to do it easily.
[0:54] There's no breakfast scheduled except in the small room downstairs.
[0:58] That's all.
[0:59] Yeah, but they use that as a serving room when they have to clear it up.
[1:02] No, no, no.
[1:02] It's better to have it in another room.
[1:04] Well, we'll do that too, but I don't think we have any plans.
[1:07] I'm going to look it over.
[1:08] Okay.
[1:08] Because, you know, they have to clear all the serving apparatus out of there.
[1:12] I know.
[1:13] So it's better to have it just like in the bathroom.
[1:16] Fine, we'll do that.
[1:16] You know, something like that.
[1:17] The bathroom is fine.
[1:18] Because it's much more accessible.
[1:22] Yeah, good.
[1:23] Okay, bye.
