[0:02] Hello, Rose.
[0:03] Hello.
[0:03] Sorry to bother you, but on the after-dinner guest, if you would check to see who else has been to Russia and invite them for that.
[0:13] Okay.
[0:14] You know, like I know the head of the environment thing has been there.
[0:19] All right.
[0:19] And he should be, you know, trained and others.
[0:23] We're going to put some of those on the after-dinner, and the Russians want some names, so I thought maybe we'd give some of those names to the Russians, too.
[0:31] All right.
[0:32] But for the after dinner, have those people there, you see.
[0:36] All right.
[0:36] Fine.
[0:36] Okay.
[0:37] Thank you.
[0:38] Okay.
[0:38] Fine.
[0:38] And incidentally, on that one, don't invite administrative assistants and all that crap, you know?
[0:43] Well, unfortunately, they've already invited a few, although I must say Bill gave me 41 names and I think I invited eight.
[0:49] That's all.
[0:50] Oh, no.
[0:50] You see, this is a different kind of dinner.
[0:52] He doesn't understand.
[0:53] I know, I know.
[0:54] That's his job, though.
[0:56] Well, the same ones have been here two or three times this year.
[0:59] No more.
[0:59] We've got to talk to him about that.
[1:01] No, no more, no more.
[1:02] We're not going to have people the second time they come hear the music and leave and dance, and that's not going to happen anymore.
[1:09] You've got to tell Bill they're there to have different people each time or else.
[1:14] Yeah.
[1:14] At least to mark on it if they've been here before.
[1:17] Fair enough?
[1:18] Yep.
[1:18] Alright.
[1:19] Okay.
[1:19] But I want everybody in the administration that's been to Russia to be there.
[1:24] Alright.
[1:25] Okay.
[1:25] Fine.
[1:26] Thanks.
