[0:00] NIXON: Where are you, honey? Oh, I see. Well, did you have a nice lunch?
[0:04] COX: Yes, I went down to the, uh, downstairs [unintelligible]
[0:10] NIXON: Oh, wonderful. That's fine. Now, what are you doing tonight? Because I'm having, uh, Connally for dinner, but he won't be over until 8:15. Are you going to be able to go to dinner with Jack and Helene and Mother?
[0:20] COX: Yes, I am.
[0:21] NIXON: Good. Where are they going? Do you know?
[0:27] COX: They are going to the Montpelier Room, which is very close.
[0:31] NIXON: Oh, yes, that's fine. Well, I think that would be very nice. I feel pretty good today, but I still got this doggone cough, and I've got to work, and Connally is coming in at 8:15. I've worked all day, you know. I haven't done anything to help it, but we had a nice time last night, didn't we?
[0:47] COX: We did have a nice time.
[0:49] NIXON: Press coverage is very good, huh? The, uh, Connally is coming in at 8:15, and so, uh, you go ahead and eat with them. I may see you after you come back, but eat lightly and get to bed early, will you? And, uh, give my love to Helene and Jack, and, uh, I'll see you later.
[1:08] COX: Okay, I love you.
[1:10] NIXON: I love you, honey. Bye.
[1:12] COX: Bye.
