Oh, yes, sir.
Oh, you're in with the Vice President now?
Yes, sir.
This may involve something you wanted.
Just a second.
I've been thinking about the gridiron thing, and I've sort of reflected on it.
I really feel that we should come down against doing it, and we ought to decide it now.
I agree.
And, for example, Henry's point was that it would just...
raise McGovern to our level and so forth.
Don't you agree?
I agree.
Now, when can you get the other fellow in?
Four o'clock.
Four o'clock.
Okay, good.
Now, the other point is, though, that...
They can move it to the 14th.
They can, fine.
Which loosens it up.
Fine.
Now, the other thing is, I'd like for him...
I think it's very important the Vice President do the greener, you see?
Yes, sir.
Okay, fine.
Fine, you can say that I'm not going, but that he would have, he should under the circumstances, but I'll do the White House correspondence and he won't have to do that, make that deal with him.
Fair enough.
Good.
