Miss Woods, Mr. President.
Thank you.
Oh, Rose, I wanted to tell you that I'm not going to be able to do the Florida thing.
Yes.
Okay, I did talk with Julie, and I told her at that time that it looked doubtful, and she's going to be coming up Monday anyway.
Great.
The weather isn't very good anyway, so I'm not going to go.
Well, it's so gorgeous here.
If it's nice like this at Camp David, that'd be better anyway.
All right, fine.
Okay.
