Yeah.
Sure.
Hello.
Well, Billy, how are you?
Fine.
Yeah.
Well, that's nice of you to call.
I'm afraid I can't.
We've got a little problem.
I know we've got a little meeting that's getting off with the pay board, so we're going to have to set up a new board.
but I'm afraid I can't this weekend.
But I'll go to Camp David, of course, so.
Isn't that great?
Well, I'll make it though.
I plan to come.
I am gonna come definitely the week after Easter.
I'll be down.
So that would be a good time to be down there.
Fine.
Incidentally, we have a very nice compliment for you last night from the benchman.
They were at the dinner for me.
Turkish Prime Minister, Mrs. Benson, as she went through the line, said, you know, I want you to know that I've just seen the first lady president, it's going to be Julie, and then Benson afterwards said, you know, I came on back to the dance, and there were all of us old bros, and howling, howling, and stuff, and Julie got up there and said, she's just a little short.
So, and, uh, and Fergo must have also said the same thing.
So we, uh, we hope to continue to do a few of them by campus.
It would be great.
We'll show you that all of our preparations work well.
Hello, good.
Well, we'll see you in Easter then, and I'll be, I'll be coming to you over the weekend.
Good.
Bye, I think.
Goodbye.
