Hello.
Mr. President, Congressman Donahue is in the intensive care unit.
Now, I have a nurse that's working with him.
I'll just talk to him.
All right, sir.
Hello.
Nurse in charge, Mr. President.
Yes.
Yes, Mr. President?
Hello?
Yes, this is the nurse in charge of the unit.
May I help you?
Yes, how are you?
Fine, thank you.
When you get to have a chance to see the congressman, you tell him that I called to just wish him well.
Oh, thank you very much.
He and I were in the Navy together many years ago, before you were born, perhaps.
And back in 1942...
Two, and he's a very old friend, and we served in Congress together when he first came, and I hope he's doing all right.
Okay.
Well, thank you very much for your concern.
You give him our best wishes.
I certainly will.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
