Well, I understand you're tied up down there.
I was, uh, had the parenting policy.
Then you go to Congress.
Let's be friends with the, uh, proceeds from Pearl Liquor and, uh, the quiet, just, uh, just the bad, you know,
Yeah, so you can pass that.
We were going to have it tomorrow, but I decided that I wanted to wrap it up so that I could take Vietnam.
and the freshman summit all at one meeting, so Tuesday is a better day for it.
Yeah, you probably should have a call by now, but we're changing it from tomorrow, Thursday, to Tuesday at the same time.
Great.
Would you like to do that?
Great.
You're invited.
10 o'clock.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
It'll be Mel's first one.
Yeah.
You're invited.
You're invited.

But I'll talk to John about it.
I'm following.
We know that.
Sure, sure, sure.
We know.
On labor, too.
Well, I'll tell you, that would bring it off as a good thing to do.
It would ruin the economy, of course, wouldn't it?
And we've definitely spent the days with the labor and management group, and both labor.
Labor is a strength as you replace real estate.
And management, a little less strength as you, but also.
So that's interesting, too.
That's what we've been thinking about.
Well, you had a fine job yesterday.
That's a good shot across the box.
Ready, set, go.
