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.
