[0:00] General Hughes, sir.
[0:03] Hello.
[0:03] Good afternoon, Mr. President.
[0:04] Don, has Connolly used the Sequoia since he's come back?
[0:09] I can't answer that, sir.
[0:10] I don't believe he has.
[0:10] We've offered it to him.
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:12] Well, make a special effort to see that it's offered to him.
[0:15] Yes, sir, we do.
[0:17] I know we're going to use it Thursday night or something like that.
[0:20] Yes, sir.
[0:21] But I mean, we're not going to offer it to them one night this week or next week.
[0:27] Yes, sir, I'll do that.
[0:28] Follow up to be sure that he knows that we want him to use it.
[0:31] Yes, sir, you know we do that for that and Cam David, too.
[0:33] I know.
[0:34] I want him a little bit higher than some of the others, you know, because they only...
[0:38] Oh, no, and they'll be bugging you for it, and he will not.
[0:40] Well, he's the one we push on this.
[0:42] Good.
[0:42] All right.
[0:43] And, sir, thank you for that phone call that Betty left.
[0:45] Oh, well, sorry I couldn't be there.
[0:47] We were up in Camp David.
[0:48] Yes, sir.
[0:48] Well, she really appreciated it, and I can't tell you how much I did.
[0:51] Great party, yeah?
[0:51] Yes, sir.
[0:52] All right.
[0:52] Thank you, sir.
[0:53] And we will push Secretary Connolly all the time.
[0:55] I want him to go.
[0:56] Yes, sir.
