[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:01] Second thought, I think it is not good for me to be in Atlanta before cheering thousands at a time that he arrives back and tell him to delay his flight, his return, until he arrives about 5 o'clock.
[0:14] You know what I mean?
[0:15] Good idea.
[0:16] Sleep in.
[0:17] Yep.
[0:17] And then he will see Rogers and me immediately.
[0:21] I think what we have to do is to see him together.
[0:23] Okay.
[0:24] And give him a little flap on the damn thing.
[0:26] Okay.
[0:27] And be prepared for that.
[0:28] And then he and I will have dinner with him and Haig.
[0:31] Okay.
[0:31] And just the three of us together.
[0:34] All right.
[0:34] We won't announce that, but he and Haig and I will have dinner together.
[0:38] And we won't go to the square, and then we'll have it right at the White House and have a talk.
[0:41] Okay.
[0:41] He should not arrive when I'm in Atlanta, Bob.
[0:44] Okay.
[0:44] It would be a hell of a mistake.
[0:45] Don't you agree?
[0:46] Yep.
[0:46] Tell him to delay there.
[0:48] You were through with the parade.
[0:49] It might not be bad.
[0:50] No, no, no.
[0:52] Delay it and have him arrive around 5 o'clock.
[0:54] Right.
