Mr. President, we're having a hell of a time getting the ambassador, and they have not located him yet.
We have a second problem, and that is our friend Kelly, who's been moving around the hill.
Oh, yeah.
And I think we ought to move his announcement to tomorrow if we can do it.
Do it.
Because we have the gap from Vietnam.
Well, also, we've got the gap.
Let's do it tomorrow.
Thursday, go ahead.
And he's really getting good receiving.
All right.
Let's bring him in tomorrow.
You know, again, and then have him walk out there.
Good.
All right.
Fine.
Shall we say at, uh, make it 9.30?
9.30.
Yeah, I've got the cabinet at 10.
Right, sir.
Uh, wait a minute.
That won't hit the press at the right time.
I'll say, uh, 9.30.
Or whatever you say.
What do you think?
I think about 11, 11.30, yeah.
See, the cabinet will take an hour and a half, so...
Right.
I think 1130 is about right.
Fine.
All right.
Fine.
Let's do it.
That's good.
Let's get that announcement in.
That'll fill the gap.
Good.
Okay, sir.
Good.
Right.
I'll see you at 6.
Yes, sir.
