Hello.
Patricia.
Patricia.
Okay.
I'm with Secretary Connolly, and I've got to go right over from here to Blair House.
That's what we thought.
That's fine.
And then to Camp David.
I didn't want to hold you up.
I thought that nobody told you, huh?
No, but that's fine.
We just suspected that, so that's great.
Fine, fine, fine.
And I'll have him bring me something here.
Okay, fine.
And everything's going okay?
Everything's going fine.
I have some good news.
What's that?
Eddie passed the bar.
No.
So that's good news.
He gets hurt.
Is he there?
No, he's not.
He's still in New York.
Well, be sure that I read a little.
That's some marvelous news.
Isn't that great news?
Remember when I heard my news?
I thought he was thrilled.
He really was.
So that's, I just wanted you to know.
That's all out of the way.
That's great.
That's great.
And I got some of the plans in your trip.
They've asked me to approve the message to the embassies, and I'm just going to read it and look at it in the morning.
Okay.
But in the meantime, I will see you.
You tell Mommy I have to go to Camp David tonight because we have some announcements and people will be there tomorrow.
We'll talk to you tomorrow then.
I'll be there Wednesday, Thursday and Monday and tell Mommy to come up anytime she wants with Elaine, anything she'd like to do.
Okay.
Okay, that sounds great, Daddy.
When does Julie get up?
I think she comes in tomorrow sometime.
Okay, sweetie, bye.
Okay, bye-bye.
