Mr. Paul, sir.
There you are.
So, with regard to, I think, Henry, I want to see Haig sometime today.
Has Henry talked to you about it?
Well, I was just going to check it, sir.
I have a paper on it.
There's no specific time.
Well, the time is open.
The time is open.
I wanted to ask you what time we can see him.
Yes, sir.
So, I want to see him today.
Time is Mrs. Nixon's Garden Tour.
Mrs. Nixon's Garden Tour begins about 1.45, sir.
I think I should be there to pop out.
That would be about 2 o'clock.
Yes, sir.
They're going to walk all the way around the driveway and they end up in the Rose Garden.
I would walk out at that time.
Yes, sir.
All right.
I'll plan to do that at 2 o'clock.
Do you want to say anything or just informally just go out there for the photographs, sir?
photograph, isn't it?
Just the photograph, yeah.
All right, sir.
Fine.
All right.
Would you like to see Haig maybe at around 10 o'clock or so?
See Haig around, shall we say, 11 o'clock.
11 o'clock.
All right, sir.
And see if Paul Keyes can come in around 12.
That's fine.
You have the material that Paul prepared for you?
Yeah, yeah, I want to talk to him about the, I just thinking, I feel I should chat with him.
Yes, sir.
General things and so.
That's fine.
If he could come in around 12 o'clock, we could come in.
In fact, yeah, 12 o'clock would be just fine.
Tell him I have nothing to go into except I just want to talk generally about the programs and so forth.
Okay.
He's just working down the hall from you anyway, I think so.
Oh, is he?
Great.
You remember, about 12.
And make it 11, tell Henry so he can plan it.
All right, sir.
I'll bring in the paper that Henry is right on that.
Right.
All right, fine.
And do you know whether Bob is in yet?
Bob isn't in right this moment, sir.
Well, I went to see him and Ehrlichman.
They wanted to see me this morning.
I don't know.
Maybe they're up there.
I don't know.
See you jointly.
But you can call and see when they can both come over.
See if Ehrlichman's in, see if he can come over.
All right, sir.
Fine.
Thank you.
