[0:00] I don't know if they want.
[0:01] Mr. President, Senator Pastore returned your call.
[0:04] Do you want to take it now?
[0:06] Yeah.
[0:08] Fine.
[0:08] Hello?
[0:09] Hello?
[0:10] I just wanted you to know, John, that I just sent to the Congress today the energy message, and I told my press secretary, Ron Ziegler, to point out that this is a bipartisan effort, that you and Chet Holyfield joined with Hosmer and others, and that without your help, we wouldn't have come this far.
[0:25] Well, you're so kind, and I'm going to go on the floor at 12 o'clock after your news release deadline and make a statement to that.
[0:31] Well, I appreciate it.
[0:32] I think it's a wonderful room.
[0:33] When you go on, if you like, you mentioned the fact that you and I have talked and that I emphasize that I consider this a bipartisan effort and that this is one that goes far beyond any other considerations and that you fellows played a major part in getting it through.
[0:49] I shall do exactly that.
[0:51] It's a privilege to do it.
[0:52] Good.
[0:52] Thank you very, very much for calling.
[0:53] Good.
[0:53] Thank you.
