Hello?
I'm just returning your call.
I was out last night.
Yeah, well, Mrs. Nixon did a hell of a job, and she's going to be great this afternoon.
She's returning, and she's very happy.
Well, are you in Kansas?
Miami?
Oh, well, that's too bad.
Well, give him a call.
Go over and see him.
Probably will probably come to you then.
Yeah, well, you call him and watch there.
Well, fine.
He'll enjoy seeing you.
I mean, he's a totally reliable employer.
Totally reliable.
Yeah.
Are you feeling all right?
Right, very good.
We'll get ready for the big battle of the next year.
We're going to have a hunting working night instead of going out of communication for a week on Thursdays and Wednesdays.
So, 20 of them.
We have our big cabinet dinner that night, so we'll get everybody.
I'm going to expand that to include the people like us, too, so that everybody is kind of aware, you know, that we're going to sit by them all the time, too, for their information.
He's your old colleague, huh?
I think so, yeah.
But my feeling is that Bob would have no choice, really, with both him and McCloskey.
Of course, I don't think they're both going to get supposed to.
Anybody that runs around with a handkerchief and a new handkerchief is going to get a deal between them.
They're both...
I think the line we should take is that we were just aiming to get more than 72,000.
I wouldn't set it any higher than that.
I hope you'll be granted one.
We can't do these things in a while.
We're going to have to do this to have an effective suggestion from the public and the governor.
I'm going to have dinner for us.
Thank you very much.
We're going to have a chance to read it.
Huh.
Too long.
Yeah.
Absolutely, they're cracking guys that can help us.
Well, I'll vote for you, and I think that Sergeant Bushman could be, he's got a good, he appeals to people that we normally wouldn't get.
Thank you.
Oh, as far as I'm concerned, you and John, you work it out, I approve.
Okay.
All right.
Have a good time, folks.
