Hello?
Hello?
Good evening, sir.
This is Major Robinson, the active camp commander.
Sure.
When the astronauts, they'll be there very shortly, right?
Yes, sir, within five minutes, sir.
Well, I wanted to tell you that you know where to set them up, one family in each of the two big cabins, you know?
Yes, sir.
Tricia and Eddie, when they come up tomorrow, will stay at Aspen.
Yes, sir.
I wondered if on the movies, if you could show two, you could do that, can't you?
Yes, sir, we can, sir.
And so give them a choice that the kids can look at one, and the parents can look at another, and the parents can look at that, and Aspen and the other can look at the one in the middle, okay?
Yes, sir, we already have that plan, sir.
Now, another thing is that let them use the swimming pool at Aspen.
In other words, let the families use that swimming pool, because it would be more convenient for the son and all that.
Will you do that, please?
Yes, sir, we certainly will, Mr. President.
Now, do you happen to have...
Do you have any horses up there?
No, sir, we do not, sir.
No horses.
None available, I suppose.
Sir, the closest local place where we have you on occasion is a pretty distant pass right now at the resort area.
Well, just don't bother with the horses.
They've got nothing else to do.
Yes, sir.
You can tell them that I asked about it, but we didn't have horses that day, sir.
Do a lot of other things.
Yes, I will.
Do you have tennis rackets?
Yes, sir, we do.
And golf clubs, of course.
Yes, sir.
Fine.
All those are available to them.
Let them have a good time.
Okay.
Bye.
Thank you very much.
Yes, sir.
Bye.
