Attorney General, please.
Yes, sir.
The Attorney General, sir.
Yes, sir.
John.
Yes, sir.
I don't, are you, I was thinking I might step out for two or three hours this afternoon.
Are you free by any chance?
Yes, sir.
Could you play golf?
Oh, hell, I could, but the problem is I've got an antitrust meeting.
I'll let you evaluate how important which is which.
The antitrust meeting?
Mm-hmm.
What time?
3.30, unfortunately.
Well, what the hell?
I think maybe we could ask Ehrlichman to put that off.
Isn't that what it is?
That's it, yeah.
I'll tell you, I'll get a hold of John, and could you do it tomorrow?
Oh, yes, sure.
Fine.
I see he has another group with Connolly and Flanagan and so forth, but you know where my interest might be.
Well, I'll tell you, frankly...
Everybody knows I've got to talk to you about this judicial thing.
We'll just have to put that off.
Okay, shall we...
I'll tell you what we'll do.
Do you have your stuff at Burning Tree, or here, or where?
I haven't the faintest idea, but I gather it's...
I need some clothes out of the apartment and some... Well, I've got clubs there.
There's no problem about that.
You've got clubs.
Fine.
Well, I think the best thing is for us to go separately then.
Yeah, probably easier for me to meet you.
Fine.
When could you leave?
When would you like to go?
As your convenience.
There's nothing else on?
Well, let's see.
It's now 110.
And you could...
Why don't we say we'll be there ready to tee off at 2.30?
That would be great, sir.
Give you time to get to the apartment.
I'm going to dress here, because I don't like to dress out there, and I'll come back.
And we'll tee off at 2.30.
Yes, sir.
And I'll meet you there.
Very good.
I look forward to it.
Call someone, please.
