I have Secretary Connolly's office, please.
Secretary, this is Haldeman.
Mr. Haldeman, you just want the Secretary... Let me have Rose, yeah.
Thank you.
They're getting it to the phone, Mr. Haldeman.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you want me to come over here, Mr. President, EOB?
Yeah.
There you are.
Hello?
Rose?
Yes, sir.
President's free now anytime it's convenient for the Secretary to come over.
Oh, fine.
All right.
He has someone with him, Mr. Haldeman, but I'll tell him.
All right.
Whenever he finishes, and if he'd come on over to the EOB office, please.
Oh, EOB?
Yeah.
Okay.
Fine.
Thank you.
