This is Haldeman, can I have Secretary Connolly please?
I might just stay at Camp David.
All right.
Thank you.
Hello?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Sir Robert?
President wondered if you would be available to meet with him any time from 2 on this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
I'll be available whenever he wants to meet.
What is your convenience, sir?
I have nothing that I can't change.
I have a 230, a 3, and a 330, but all of them I can change very readily.
I can do it at 4 o'clock.
I can do it at 3 o'clock.
I can do it any time.
So just at his convenience.
Why don't we make it 4 o'clock?
That works out better for you, doesn't it?
Yeah, but really, these others are just internal appointments, so I can change them without any trouble.
One of them is a courtesy call by a Yugoslavia ambassador that I've seen two or three times.
So it really doesn't make any difference.
Four is fine with me.
If three is better for him, three would suit me equally as well.
Why don't we leave it at four?
All right.
That works out okay here, and you don't have to joke on it.
All right.
That's fine.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
Very good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
