[0:00] Yeah.
[0:02] Hi, Dick.
[0:03] I wondered if you'd take everything.
[0:05] I didn't get the check.
[0:06] I didn't realize they were going to give us a gift.
[0:08] Did we give them anything?
[0:11] No, but the minute I got upstairs, I thought we'd send a bean bird.
[0:15] You'd send them a bird, but yeah, for the two or about?
[0:18] Well, I don't know what we have of yours that we could send.
[0:21] We don't have anything around here, and apparently the State Department is playing this as if it isn't a state visit.
[0:27] Well, it doesn't make any difference.
[0:28] Give them a bean bird.
[0:29] And I'll tell you another thing.
[0:33] Those little trinkets for the kids are good things to send them.
[0:37] You know?
[0:38] Yeah, but their children are grown.
[0:40] What the hell?
[0:41] Give them cufflinks.
[0:43] They love them.
[0:45] Mm-hmm.
[0:45] Just a little, I mean, let Steve Bull make up, just get the names of the children.
[0:49] He can make up.
[0:50] Well, she's leaving, you know.
[0:52] Yeah, well, he could do it this afternoon, though, if you want.
[0:55] But anyway.
[0:55] Okay.
[0:56] We can mail it.
[0:56] Mail it.
[0:57] We can have they send it to the ambassador and have him take them by.
[1:00] Mm-hmm.
[1:00] It's a nice thought.
[1:01] Okay.
[1:01] Okay.
