Yeah.
It's Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. President?
Yeah.
Thank you.
The President?
Thank you very much.
John.
Yes, sir.
I just talked to Bob about the idea that I had, and you might discuss it with him.
It's an idea I had on this, having some of these people thank him for what they did in his demonstration.
And so I gave him all the facts.
Okay.
You want to run over him?
Sure.
Whatever you and he recommend.
All right.
And I will be...
ready to do something, anything you want to do around 2.30.
So if you want to... All right, sir.
Get right on it.
I think at 2.30 and then maybe have to see you and George at 2.30 and do these people at 3 or vice versa.
Vice versa, probably.
All right.
Either way.
Very fine.
Thank you.
