Just a moment, sir.
Thank you.
for Les Aarons.
Hello.
Hello, hello.
Yes, John.
You had something from Jerry?
Jerry Ford thought it was a matter of the highest importance that the President not wait to be appearing to respond to the Congress, but that the
President tender not later than tomorrow morning.
How would breakfast tomorrow be?
Be perfect.
Yeah, he's going to do it.
Good.
One other thought that I had, it might be advisable, John, if he's going to tender these documents both to the Senate and to the House, to expand the Mansfield breakfast to include the big five, that is Mansfield, Scott, Speaker, Ford, and Boggs.
I don't know about that.
All right.
But I'll try.
Well, I'm not.
I don't feel strongly about it.
I say I didn't want the speaker to feel it.
No, but don't you have him positioned on this pretty well?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I told the president that you said you had.
Yeah.
In other words, he's standing by really.
And if I can call him the minute the president has, you know, finished with.
Mm hmm.
I didn't want the press to come to the speaker.
I got you.
What do you feel about the president's announcement?
Okay, fine.
We'll arrange that.
All right, thank you.
