Hello.
Congressman Brotsman, sir.
On the line.
Hello.
Hi, Don.
Yes, sir.
I just wanted you to know that McGregor was just telling me that you'd better celebrate because when you're 50, that's a hell of an old age.
Right.
So never get any older than 49.
Mr. President, you're great.
You don't look that old and you don't feel that old, do you?
No, I feel just wonderful.
That's right.
You know, I played a little golf this weekend.
We had an invitation down to Greenbrier, Louisa.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
I even broke 90.
Would you believe that?
You're not working hard enough.
You know who's characterized me?
I saw down there, Mr. Preston.
Give up the game.
Yeah.
I saw yours.
Yeah, with Sam Snead, probably.
That's right.
It was Sam Snead.
You know, that was the first time I ever broke 100 was at the Greenbrier.
And I eventually got down as low as 83, and then I quit.
But it's a great game.
And which course do you play, the lower or the upper?
You played all three of them, actually.
All three.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You played the old white is the toughest.
The old white is the toughest.
It's the longest.
But that Greenbrier course is fun.
We're over here working this morning on your revenue sharing program.
Oh, great.
Well, I appreciate it, Bill.
I think we're going to be able to get some kind of a bill out that you can go for.
I hope so, too.
We're sure trying.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
