[0:00] Hello.
[0:00] Mr. President, I have the former Pakistani president.
[0:03] Yes.
[0:05] President Nixon.
[0:07] Hello.
[0:07] Hello, just a minute, sir.
[0:08] I need to secure you guys.
[0:08] Here's the key.
[0:09] Here's the gun.
[0:12] Yeah.
[0:12] This is a U-Pron, Mr. President.
[0:14] Well, I just wanted to tell you that while you're in our country, I welcome you and wish you the very best.
[0:21] I'm most grateful to you, sir.
[0:24] I only wish that I could be there myself just to welcome you, but how is the operation coming, Mr. President?
[0:32] Well, they have not yet decided.
[0:34] It looks that they may operate on me.
[0:36] Oh, they're still trying to make a decision on it.
[0:43] Right.
[0:44] And you're in Cleveland, right?
[0:45] Fine.
[0:46] Well, that's a very fine institution there.
[0:48] I want you to know that, as we talk, that I shall always remember that right after the elections of 1960, when you were in our country, you called me when I was in San Francisco, and then
[1:06] On the many occasions I came to Pakistan, you were so good to receive me, and I didn't want you to be here without knowing that I was thinking about you, and Mrs. Nixon joins me in sending our very best wishes.
[1:18] And you just, we know your country is going through some difficult times, but we, I am one, as you know, who has always had such a strong feeling for your country, and we're going to do our best not to make any trouble.
[1:34] Thank you very much indeed.
[1:36] Thank you very much.
[1:37] And we just wish you the very best.
[1:38] Thank you very much.
[1:40] Okay, bye.
[1:40] Give my kind regards to Mr. Nixon.
[1:42] Thank you very much.
[1:43] Goodbye.
[1:44] Goodbye.
