[0:00] Hello.
[0:03] Congressman Brotsman, sir.
[0:06] On the line.
[0:07] Hello.
[0:08] Hi, Don.
[0:08] Yes, sir.
[0:09] 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.
[0:17] Right.
[0:17] So never get any older than 49.
[0:20] Mr. President, you're great.
[0:22] You don't look that old and you don't feel that old, do you?
[0:26] No, I feel just wonderful.
[0:27] That's right.
[0:28] You know, I played a little golf this weekend.
[0:29] We had an invitation down to Greenbrier, Louisa.
[0:32] Oh, did you?
[0:33] Yeah.
[0:34] I even broke 90.
[0:35] Would you believe that?
[0:36] You're not working hard enough.
[0:38] You know who's characterized me?
[0:38] I saw down there, Mr. Preston.
[0:39] Give up the game.
[0:40] Yeah.
[0:41] I saw yours.
[0:41] Yeah, with Sam Snead, probably.
[0:43] That's right.
[0:43] It was Sam Snead.
[0:45] You know, that was the first time I ever broke 100 was at the Greenbrier.
[0:48] And I eventually got down as low as 83, and then I quit.
[0:52] But it's a great game.
[0:53] And which course do you play, the lower or the upper?
[0:56] You played all three of them, actually.
[0:57] All three.
[0:58] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:59] You played the old white is the toughest.
[1:01] The old white is the toughest.
[1:02] It's the longest.
[1:03] But that Greenbrier course is fun.
[1:05] We're over here working this morning on your revenue sharing program.
[1:08] Oh, great.
[1:10] Well, I appreciate it, Bill.
[1:12] I think we're going to be able to get some kind of a bill out that you can go for.
[1:17] I hope so, too.
[1:18] We're sure trying.
[1:18] Okay, thank you.
[1:20] Thank you so much.
[1:21] I appreciate it.
