Hello.

Mrs. Nixon.

Hello.

Hi, Dick.

The Prime Minister of Ghana was just in, you know, and as without any suggestion on my part, he strongly asked that you come by there because he said it's having been our first country, which is next door to Liberia.

So I told him we'd ask you, but I think you should.

It'd just take a couple days.

And he says they would love to have you and, you know, and

See, they voted with us in the U.N. That's the reason I'm seeing them.

We want to show that we really care about them, schools and all that sort of thing.

So I just wanted you to know that I think I'm going to tell them here to put it in motion.

I'll give you the two countries to go to, which I think will be very good.

Yeah, good.

Good.

All right.

Thanks.
