[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] I have Mrs. Kaplan, Mr. President.
[0:05] Thank you.
[0:06] Hello.
[0:07] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:08] Yes.
[0:09] The other day when I didn't see Herb down there in Miami,
[0:16] I was asking Jerry Warren, and he told me about your father's death.
[0:21] And I just wanted to know that Mrs. Nixon and I extend our deepest sympathy.
[0:24] Well, I certainly do thank you.
[0:26] I know, of course, he was sick for a long time, and that's a very...
[0:30] It's just one of those diseases that...
[0:33] Long, and there seems to be no answer to.
[0:36] Well, he used to be at the airport when you would come through.
[0:39] My mother and he both would always be out.
[0:41] Yeah, yeah.
[0:42] Well, he had a good life, and he must have been very proud of her being on television all the time and everything.
[0:50] But anyway, I hope that you, that does Herb want to take you to California with him this next trip?
[0:55] I hope so, yes, we are planning that now.
[0:56] I quite didn't know when.
[0:57] We don't know when we'll go yet, but because, well, it's the Senate, you see.
[1:02] Right, yes, I understand.
[1:04] But it could be late tomorrow sometime, so you ought to be ready any time.
[1:09] Well, thank you.
[1:09] Well, I'm glad you thought of it until Thursday.
[1:11] Well, late tomorrow or Thursday, it'll be one of the two, but I met with the Senators this morning, and they know, but so...
[1:19] Ziegler will try to fill them in, but I think it'll be late tomorrow or Thursday, one of the two times.
[1:26] Thank you so very much.
[1:28] We wish you well and hope the weather's good out there for you.
[1:31] We had a little snow today.
[1:33] Things are going better.
[1:34] I hope it's good in California.
[1:36] I hope we don't get the snow there.
[1:37] That's right.
[1:38] Blame it on me.
[1:38] There'll never be any snow in San Clemente.
[1:40] I love it there so much.
[1:42] Okay.
[1:42] Thank you so much, Mr. President.
