Mr. Boll, Mr. President.
Yes, sir.
Steve, after I finish this tape, then I come back to the Oval Office for that other meeting?
Yes, sir.
Just a group of people who work on that.
Are they going to come to the Oval or to the Cabinet Room?
To the Oval Office, sir.
Right.
And they'll be there when?
At 12 o'clock.
We can have them right there, actually, when you come back from...
The tape isn't going to take more than five minutes.
I'll probably be there.
Well, five minutes to 12.
That's soon enough.
All right, sir, fine.
It'll take me that much time to get over there.
There is another meeting at 1210, just a short handshake with Morton, Senator Stevens, and Don Wright also.
That follows immediately after that.
With whom?
Secretary Morton, Senator Stevens, and Mr. Don Wright, who is...
The Indian Alaska Federation of Natives president of that.
This is a 12-tensor.
It's just a short two-minute handshake with him.
Are they sure of that or is it a meeting because I need to know?
No, it's a handshake.
Two-minute handshake and photo opportunity and that's all.
I'm not going to have any goddamn photographers press in on that.
Is that what they want?
Yes, sir.
That was the purpose of it.
Well, all right, all right, all right.
But be sure, well, if it's, Steve, tell me, if it's going to be 15 minutes, it's fine.
I need to know, though.
No, it's only to be two minutes.
No, sir, it's only to be two minutes.
No preparation needed on that.
Yeah, just to shake hands with somebody with Indian Affairs, you say?
Yes, sir.
Secretary Morton's sending up a bill today at noon, sending up to the hill.
I see.
So this is just to draw attention to it.
Mr. President, would you like to see the barber today?
Yeah, I'm going to, but then let's have him at 12, have him over at 1215.
Well, wait a minute, 12, it doesn't have to be 1230, I guess.
No, 12 o'clock for the one, no.
Morton's at 12 what?
1210, sir.
1210, fine.
I'll have the barber at 1215.
All right, sir, fine.
Thank you.
