Hello.
Mr. President, General Haig's en route to his office.
Could he call you when he arrives there?
Yeah, I'll tell you.
I'll call him back because I think I'll have somebody here by then.
All right, fine.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let me talk to Mr. Haldeman, but don't get Haldeman unless he's at his office.
In other words, if he's not at his office, just don't bother returning the call.
Fine.
Thank you, Mr. President.
