Where'd I find you, at home?
Well...
How have you been?
Everything fine?
Everything's just fine, yeah.
There was some rumor that you were going up to...
I couldn't... No, I'm going to be in...
I have to go out and trip across the country tomorrow.
Are you really?
Next week I'm going to...
I'll be in New York Tuesday for the Knights of Columbus.
It's the first time a president has spoke to them.
That's right.
And then on to Illinois for the Illinois State Fair and on to, let's see, Jackson Hole and then...
in to Dallas for the VFW and then on to California.
The main thing is that the only thing people are concerned about is the economy, but don't worry about it.
It's going to come back.
It is back.
It's just a question of this.
People get a little frightened about this or that.
Well, the indicators are going to be better.
Well, they aren't seeing the big play.
The sensible conservatives see it.
No, well, we're trying.
He's been out of the country.
Henry's going to have a talk with him, I think, Thursday of this week or tomorrow, Friday.
He's going to try.
Right.
He'll do something good.
He's a decent fellow.
A fine man, yeah.
Right.
Incidentally, Mr. President, Jeff Parks, you may not know him.
Oh, yeah, I know this book.
Right.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Well, after we have a chance to have a talk, perhaps after Labor Day and get to see what's going on.
But you can be sure that there's a lot more going on than meets the eye at the moment.
Yeah.
Okay, Hope.
I give my best to the Admiral.
