Camp David.

President Nixon: Yeah?

Operator: Julie's on.

President Nixon: Hello?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Hi, Daddy.

President Nixon: How are you getting along up there?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Oh, it's really nice.

President Nixon: Did you see the deer yet?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: We haven't seen [unclear: the wolf?].

President Nixon: Did you tell--tell [William] Hirsch to find them, or is he not there?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: No. Hirsch isn't there, so we've been [unclear]. You know, it started to snow and maybe the dog's--the deer's hiding, or something.

President Nixon: No, but they can--tell the commander or somebody around to get the deer. They know where he is.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: OK.

President Nixon: And you can let me know.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Are you still going to be able to get away?

President Nixon: Yeah, we're going to go. That's what I called to tell you: 3:00 [P.M.] Thursday we leave.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Isn't that great?

President Nixon: So you and David [Eisenhower] be ready. I'll be out there by 5 [P.M.]. We can eat before--probably eat on the plane at 3 and then eat when we get out there. It'll be about 8:00 our time here.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Isn't that great? Good. Good. I called out there today, and there were golf clubs out there and everything, so--

President Nixon: Oh, sure there are. Right. And then I thought with [Florida banker and Nixon friend Charles] Bebe [Rebozo∇], if you'd like, rather than having him go out with us now--because I've got a lot of work to do on Friday and Saturday--if you could call him and ask if he could come out and be there around Saturday at noon.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Yeah. Fine.

President Nixon: See. And then he can spend the afternoon with us if he could be there Saturday at noon.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: OK. Good.

President Nixon: And then we can have him for Saturday night and Sunday. OK?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Yeah, that's great.

President Nixon: Right.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: And daddy, we checked on [Fate] Suber, and he has to be in the hospital for a while, but the doctor's going to tell him you invited him to Camp David [unclear] when he gets out.

President Nixon: That's good.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: So, that's really nice.

President Nixon: That's good. I set it in motion this morning.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: I know you did. That's really great.

President Nixon: OK. Well, you have a great time. It must be pretty with it snowing and everything.

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: It's really pretty. It is.

President Nixon: Been in the pool yet?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: I--

The call gets disconnected.

Operator: Yes, Mr. President?

President Nixon: I got cut off on a call with Julie. Do you want to try it again, please?

Operator: [Unclear.] There you are, sir.

Nixon: Hello?

Julie Nixon Eisenhower: Daddy?
