(tape)
K: A1, we've got big affairs of state on our minds. Can you find out
what the goddamn dress is before we have a conniption.
H: I have, sir. I've just talked to Ambassador Watson. He said they
have not made a decision. It's one of two alternatives and he should be
prepared for both and I gave this to Dwight. One is business suit
and
the other is a swallowtail coat.
K: Sans pantaloon (laughter)?
H: I told them to get that one ready.
K: Okay, now, will you get these guys to start turning -- now he screams
that he wants it on Friday -- the lunch.
H: Well, goddamn!
K: Look, this is what happens when everybody talks to e verybody else.
He had a conniption when I said it Saturday.
H: Well, that's lawfully strange because
K: A1, I just got through talking to him. He called me. I've got it on
a tape if you want to hear it.
H: No, I believe that.
K: In fact, he wants to know within 15 minutes whether the Mexicans
can make it.
H: Alright, okay.
K: Can you get that done?
H: Right.
K: And it is to be in the family dining room in the Residence -- not in
the
State Room and meet in the Oval Room. You know in the oval family room.
And he wants it on Friday.
H: Okay, alright, I will do this right away. Goddamn
