But if you're in the country, you'll be there, right ?\nK:\nThat's right.\nB:\nWell, I think it will be a lot of fun. It's just going to be a few people and\nI think you'll enjoy it because it's not a stiff Washington-type thing and I\nthink it's your kind of a party, you know.\nK:\nRight.\nB:\nI don't know yet whether I'm going to ask Ted Kennedy to come because\nI don't know whether Ted and John Connally you know, I don't want to\nrun the '76 race yet if at all possible because I may want you to mediate\nit.\nK:\n(laughter)\nB:\nAnd I think you'd do a very good job. They'll probably offer you an\nextension until at least 1984. Actually, come to think of it, I think that's\nwhat I'll do and we can start a bidding contest on you and we'll see how\nstingy Teddy is.\nK:\nIf I'm still in this job in '76, I might as well stay till '84. I'll be no good\nfor anything else.\nB:\nI think so, Henry, but look you never know. With John Connally, it could\nbe a lot of fun. And with Teddy, it could be very nice, you know in another\nway. We might make an auction out of it after the movie.\nK:\n(laughter)\nB:\nNo, but I think you'll enjoy it. Bob will tell you, the last one we had was\nreally a lot of fun. It's something I want you to attend. Why don't you\nput it on your calendar for Friday, April 27th. It's the first time I went\nthrough one of these formalities but I hope you'll be able to make it.\nK:\nIt's informal?\nB:\nOh, yeah, it's not going to be black tie. So Christ, no.\nK:\nOkay, good. Well, Charles, really unless I'm off on some mission, I'll\nbe there."
