Hello.
Have Julie on the line, sir.
The news coverage this morning I thought was excellent.
Oh, I thought so too.
And I thought the whole thing, though, the trip was very, very good.
And like this one, the NBC news was saying that she came back with new respect.
There was new respect for the First Lady after this trip.
one friend, and gee, it was just great.
It was great.
What I was going to tell you is that I was just checking this morning in the news of last week, and your tour of the Cypress thing got a very good play.
It was very helpful, everybody thought, on that environment thing.
And I was thinking, I was talking this morning to Holloman, that
that if you could do some more of that sort of thing, and maybe you could get into it, and maybe Mommy ought to do something from time to time, because that's the one way we can show great interest in the environment.
I'd really love to.
And, Daddy, I wanted to tell you something, now that you have just a minute.
Sure, I've got plenty of time.
My analysis of the situation is that Dave Parker needs more help, because, like, we have more time, but he doesn't seem... he doesn't have enough...
i mean he can't it's very he's having a very hard time finding events and maybe this is just because there aren't we have to be awful careful getting events i agree i agree but maybe he needs more help because like tricia wants to do things too and i think he's getting too many trying to
to do too much himself.
All right.
I'll see that that's done.
You might look into it, or it might be just that there aren't that many events and they're trying to pick them carefully, which is hard.
Sure.
Well, we'll see.
But we'll get some good ones here.
But I thought I would mention it.
I'm glad you did, and I'll talk to him about it.
Because we like to do those trips.
And, you know, I wanted to tell you, too, as long as you're on the line, I thought Morton was terrific.
I'm glad to hear that.
And he really handled the press well.
And he spoke well and intelligently, and yet
and friendly, so that they kind of liked him, and he was casual.
Good, good.
You know, Nat Reed also.
Who?
Nat Reed.
I don't know him, but he's in the department, too, and he's very good.
Well, that's good.
So I enjoyed the trip.
It was really interesting.
Good.
Well, that's great, and we do appreciate what you've done.
