[0:00] NIXON: The only possibility, of course, is this thing I have to do in Texas for John Connally on Friday.
[0:04] NIXON: Yeah.
[0:05] NIXON: If I don't go on Friday, but go on Saturday morning, I could come out—or Friday afternoon, I could come up with you on Thursday night, come back Friday morning and then go down Friday afternoon, see?
[0:14] NIXON: Yeah, but wait, then what would you do Friday night?
[0:16] NIXON: Friday night I'd go to Texas. I have to go to John Connally's Friday night.
[0:20] NIXON: Uh-huh. Well, the only thing about that, Dick, is that that's a lot of running around.
[0:23] NIXON: That's right. That's right.
[0:24] NIXON: And maybe you'd be better just to go, and, uh—
[0:27] NIXON: Well, the other thing is if we don't go to John Connally's Friday, which we may not—I mean, they may not have it Friday, in which case I won't go until Saturday, see? So I could come up Friday.
[0:36] NIXON: Yeah.
[0:37] NIXON: I could come up Friday, then fly to Texas Saturday and come back Saturday night, you see?
[0:41] NIXON: Mm-hm.
[0:42] NIXON: So, whatever it is—
[0:43] NIXON: Well, are you definitely going to Texas for that, uh, convention?
