Thank you.
Yeah.
Did I call you?
Yes, sir.
It was about, uh, Oh yes.
The appointment tomorrow.
Soames or are we committed to him?
Invited him, but we could do, I suggest that sir.
Well, I guess we could do it, but is it a half hour or kind of a deal or?
Well, I guess I could do it and let somebody else do the cabinet thing for that.
We can change it, Mr. President.
I have to see Gray.
This is Ehrlichman has somebody I have to see.
Well, we'll just tell Soames that something came up and you couldn't... Well, no, no, no.
I don't like to cancel something.
I'll tell you what you could do, though.
See if his appointment could be... Just a minute.
We'll make gray at 9 o'clock.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
The breakfast is at 9.
Mr. President, Bill Timmons just called.
Mansfield is out of the city until Sunday.
Yes, sir.
Well, then we have no breakfast.
We have no breakfast.
We'll just scrub the breakfast.
Right.
And then, therefore, we'll just move to...
You can do Gray at 9 o'clock.
Gray at 9, and I'll go into the cabinet meeting.
And then come right out and do Soames.
All right, sir.
And that 9.30, the Soames thing is a visible reason for you to leave the cabinet room.
Right.
I understand.
Do you want John Ehrlichman with you with Gray?
Yes, yes.
And that's off the record and not on the count?
Just a minute.
Okay.
It's off the record.
All right, sir.
All right.
Fine.
Thank you, Sean.
