On a schedule thing, Alex asked me, and I said in a moment, I said, do it, but I'm not sure.
He said Herb Klein wants me to do a reception for newspaper editors or something like that, National Newspaper Association.
Yeah, that's the small paper.
Association the weeklies and the well let me just say would you personally have it checked by somebody to see whether I really didn't do it before okay you know I did I stood there two hours and a half Bob and met all those AS&E people and I don't want to repeat them okay and Herb you know has followed that up a couple times and I just want to be damn sure I'm I'm perfectly glad to do it but you know that drill of coming to the White House and shaking hands we do it with businessmen and others you remember with Pete Flanagan's groups over and over again and all of a sudden they say gosh what's new yeah
You don't know whether that's been checked or not.
Well, it has been, but I think your point's good.
It may overlap with one.
You see, ASNE is not just big papers.
As a matter of fact, it's mainly small papers.
That's right.
And I think that you've just got to take a damn hard look at this.
It's a different organization, but it could overlap substantially with the same kind of people.
And if it does, there's no point in doing it.
If it does, the thing to do is to, rather than have me stand there and shake their hands, let Pat do it.
Okay.
She doesn't mind.
Okay.
And...
And I'll like her doing this UPI thing today as well.
