Hello?
Secretary Connors.
Yes, sir.
I thought that I was just checking to see when these games are.
If 5 o'clock would be all right with you, we get together at 5, maybe.
here in the EOB, and then at 6.30, I thought we could have about an hour and a half, if that's all right with you.
Yes, sir.
6.30, if Nellie could come over, and then Pat and you and Nellie and I will have dinner.
That's great.
And Julie's here.
She's told me that if we wanted to, she'd have a movie.
So we may have you for a movie, too.
Well, that's wonderful.
You know, because I know it's going to be hard to get back to your sleep patterns.
Is that all right?
Wonderful.
That's just great.
6.30 her way and then 5 o'clock that way.
That's all right for me.
Incidentally, Johnson said you had called him, so I was glad to hear that.
I did.
Good.
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
