[0:00] Congressman McDonald, Mr. President.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:05] Yes, hello.
[0:05] Hello, Jack.
[0:06] Yes.
[0:07] How are you?
[0:07] I just wanted to know, just talking to our congressional staff here, and I found that you better celebrate because, boy, when you get to be 40, you're old, boy.
[0:17] Oh, I'm going to stay 30.
[0:19] That's right.
[0:20] I'm still celebrating my 39th.
[0:21] I just wanted to wish you well.
[0:23] But thank you very much, Mr. Fed.
[0:25] Incidentally, you'll be interested to know that Bratzman is 49 today.
[0:29] So go over and commiserate with him.
[0:30] Well, I'll tell you, he looks much better on the paddle ball court than I do.
[0:34] Maybe I've aged too fast.
[0:36] That's right.
[0:37] If you stay in the paddle ball court, I'll bring your weight down.
[0:39] Okay.
[0:40] Good luck.
[0:41] Thank you very much.
