[0:00] This is Haldeman, can I have Secretary Connolly please?
[0:33] I might just stay at Camp David.
[0:36] All right.
[0:37] Thank you.
[0:48] Hello?
[0:49] Yes, sir.
[0:49] Yes, sir.
[0:50] Sir Robert?
[0:51] President wondered if you would be available to meet with him any time from 2 on this afternoon.
[0:56] Yes, sir.
[0:57] I'll be available whenever he wants to meet.
[0:59] What is your convenience, sir?
[1:03] I have nothing that I can't change.
[1:06] I have a 230, a 3, and a 330, but all of them I can change very readily.
[1:12] I can do it at 4 o'clock.
[1:15] I can do it at 3 o'clock.
[1:17] I can do it any time.
[1:19] So just at his convenience.
[1:21] Why don't we make it 4 o'clock?
[1:22] That works out better for you, doesn't it?
[1:24] Yeah, but really, these others are just internal appointments, so I can change them without any trouble.
[1:29] One of them is a courtesy call by a Yugoslavia ambassador that I've seen two or three times.
[1:35] So it really doesn't make any difference.
[1:36] Four is fine with me.
[1:38] If three is better for him, three would suit me equally as well.
[1:41] Why don't we leave it at four?
[1:42] All right.
[1:42] That works out okay here, and you don't have to joke on it.
[1:46] All right.
[1:47] That's fine.
[1:48] Okay.
[1:48] Yes, sir.
[1:48] Very good.
[1:49] Thank you.
[1:50] Thank you.
