[0:00] Yeah.
[0:01] Mr. Butterfield, sir.
[0:02] Yeah.
[0:02] Yes, sir.
[0:04] Alex, give Senator Cooper a call, if you would, and tell him that we had invited Senator Keating to this, former Senator Keating, the ambassador to this dinner tonight, to arrive, and that the president would very much like for him to come, too, if he could join him.
[0:23] You know what I mean?
[0:24] The party would, if it doesn't interfere with his party, they would have to leave about 8, 10 over there.
[0:29] Oh, I see.
[0:29] Cooper.
[0:30] Yeah, just invite, you know.
[0:32] Well, John Sherman Cooper?
[0:34] Yeah.
[0:34] He has accepted.
[0:35] He's coming?
[0:36] Yeah, remember you mentioned that the other day, Mr. President.
[0:38] Well, then, he's giving the party for Keating.
[0:41] Gee, that's odd, isn't it?
[0:43] Call Cooper and tell him that Keating is invited and that we wanted him to know that we're giving, that we didn't want to appear at his party, but since he's coming, maybe the two could come together.
[0:54] All right, sir.
[0:55] I sure will.
