[0:00] Mr. President, we're having a hell of a time getting the ambassador, and they have not located him yet.
[0:10] We have a second problem, and that is our friend Kelly, who's been moving around the hill.
[0:16] Oh, yeah.
[0:17] And I think we ought to move his announcement to tomorrow if we can do it.
[0:21] Do it.
[0:21] Because we have the gap from Vietnam.
[0:23] Well, also, we've got the gap.
[0:24] Let's do it tomorrow.
[0:25] Thursday, go ahead.
[0:26] And he's really getting good receiving.
[0:28] All right.
[0:28] Let's bring him in tomorrow.
[0:31] You know, again, and then have him walk out there.
[0:33] Good.
[0:33] All right.
[0:34] Fine.
[0:34] Shall we say at, uh, make it 9.30?
[0:38] 9.30.
[0:39] Yeah, I've got the cabinet at 10.
[0:41] Right, sir.
[0:43] Uh, wait a minute.
[0:44] That won't hit the press at the right time.
[0:45] I'll say, uh, 9.30.
[0:48] Or whatever you say.
[0:49] What do you think?
[0:50] I think about 11, 11.30, yeah.
[0:52] See, the cabinet will take an hour and a half, so...
[0:57] Right.
[0:58] I think 1130 is about right.
[1:00] Fine.
[1:00] All right.
[1:01] Fine.
[1:01] Let's do it.
[1:01] That's good.
[1:02] Let's get that announcement in.
[1:03] That'll fill the gap.
[1:03] Good.
[1:04] Okay, sir.
[1:05] Good.
[1:05] Right.
[1:05] I'll see you at 6.
