Yeah.
Mr. Haldeman, sir.
Yeah.
You are.
Hello.
Bob, can you get, be sure that Alex, or maybe they've thought of this already, calls the cabinet officers about this today?
Right.
Have they done that?
I don't think so.
They haven't.
Well, they've got to before the goddamn announcement is made.
Right, right.
Get it done right now.
So get Alex on it right away.
Yes, sir.
Point two, Pat was talking to me.
a few minutes ago, and Jerry Milbank has called her about wanting some people on the delegation.
One was Bunny Lasker, and another was Dunlop of Sun Oil.
I don't think we have to send Dunlop.
We've done things for him, but nevertheless, my point is, they shouldn't be calling her on this delegation thing.
If you don't mind, put somebody on them real intelligent and real political, will you?
Right.
So that they don't get the usual State Department people on these things.
As you know, it means an enormous amount to people to go.
Right.
I would have no objection to Lasker going.
He pays expenses.
He would not take his wife.
He'd take his kids.
That's okay.
Okay.
But I have no objection.
But you get at it, and then you look at every one of these delegations from now on personally yourself.
Sure will.
and send me in and say, here's a deal, and I suggest this or that one, and have Rose look at them.
See?
That way we can get at it, because they've been coming at me from so many different directions, and usually it's Henry or, you know, or Roger.
And I think you and Rose together will know that somebody is... Do them on that basis.
All right.
All right, fine.
Thanks.
Sure will.
