Hello.

Yes, sir, Steve.

Hi, Steve.

I would like to keep, because of that little change of plans, I'd like to keep Wednesday clear.

What did you have on Wednesday at the present time?

The only thing we have on Wednesday, sir, is Prime Minister Mayer and the Mayer dinner.

No, no.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm looking at the wrong thing.

Just the governors.

We don't have anything scheduled for Wednesday afternoon?

No, sir, not in the afternoon.

I was going to say...

You can schedule this afternoon, say you've got 4 to 5, 4 to 5.30.

Pat hit it, then it'll take a half hour, so just figure that to go to 5 to 5.30.

I would suggest that today, and would you try to get the barber for me at 5.30?

Barber at 5.30.

5.30, so Pat hit at 5, the barber at 5.30.

You can pick up at 3 and get an odds and ends thing done.

Then you see if you want to lighten up the end of the week.

Okay.

Pick up 3 o'clock today.

Yes, 3.

You have from 3 to 5.30, okay?

All right, sir.

And for Wednesday, the only thing pending, of course, is that Atlantic City.

Yeah, yeah.

We're presently not planning to do that at the moment.

All right, sir.

Fine.

Okay?

All right, sir.

Fine.

Thanks.
