[0:00] If you want to go the way Mrs. Nixon has it planned, you're going to have to run a little bit as a state dinner with lynchers coming.
[0:17] We'll play lynchers, a rival, just as we would a state rival.
[0:19] Picture of the North Quarter building.
[0:19] You meeting the lynchers at the North Quarter building.
[0:26] Yellow bubble room group.
[0:26] And, uh... Well... Is that what they want to do?
[0:27] Yes, sir.
[0:28] That's what she wants to do.
[0:29] Well, that's okay.
[0:29] I'll follow that way and all the other people know.
[0:46] Sure, sure.
[0:46] Whatever she wants to do.
[0:46] All right, well then, I don't have any further questions.
[0:48] That was the main question.
[0:48] I know there are a little questions, but if you want to follow up, it's interesting.
[0:50] So, I'm just, you know, whether there are any questions she's raised or you're raising or what.
[0:52] Yes, there are questions that I'm raised about the yellow bone.
[0:53] Do you want both ambassadors up there or the yellow bone?
[0:54] I don't do the yellow bone.
[0:55] I mean...
[0:55] stuff there.
[0:59] I don't think you need to do that.
[1:01] It's the same thing.
[1:08] See, it's not a hitter.
[1:15] Well, it's not.
[1:15] Yeah, I'll tell you what I don't want to say.
[1:16] It's a couple of words.
[1:17] We have to be tight in the case.
[1:17] And then you're going to have to stay in the park for eight days.
[1:18] We treat it as we do it state-of-the-art.
[1:19] It's a part of that routine.
[1:21] And really, until you get out before the guests, and then these come, it's the same visit.
[1:40] And then on the receiving line, you would have eight people.
[1:46] You have yourself, Mr. Nixon, the lynchers, Tricia, Eddie Krause, and his parents.
[1:48] Well, yeah, that's great.
[1:49] Okay, so that's it.
[1:53] Last time, the cabin being a Tuesday, the morning after you get back, the morning after you get back, it's open.
[2:00] It's a one-hour meeting, 8 to 9.
[2:02] The last instructions I have when we have nothing else planned is to get some trip reports from those that went overseas.
[2:19] We can do that.
[2:19] Very brief 10-minute trip reports on our overseas trips.
[2:20] All right.
[2:20] And John, I would suggest that George run and give a very short pitch.
[2:22] He says he's doing an especially competent job of signing up and sharing it with my dad.
[2:25] Yeah.
[2:25] So I'll line that up and sign that up for you.
[2:26] All right.
[2:33] Most of the cabinet members are going to the Vice President's dinner, but, uh, Bob Dole has regretted, and I'm trying to lean on him to get him to go.
[2:45] I think it's important that he be there.
[2:47] The 25th?
[2:47] No, that's on the 19th, March 19th.
[2:49] The Vice President said, you know, over at their house, with a cabinet.
[2:55] I thought it was on the 25th.
[2:55] I think it's on the 25th, but in the meantime, it's the 19th.
[2:57] Oh, really?
[2:58] The 25th is the stand's dinner here.
[2:58] Oh, I see.
[3:01] Okay, thank you.
