Hello, Mel.
Hello.
Hello.
Milt?
Yeah.
I know that in these closing days of the session you're probably tied up in the Senate, but I'm just checking my files here and found out you had your birthday today.
And I couldn't have the fellow that's done so much for us down there and, you know, and carrying on those appropriations committees and the rest go by without telling you congratulations.
Well, that's real nice.
Yeah, and I hope you have many happy returns.
Okay, Bill.
Thanks a million.
Bye.
