I just learned from one of my spies here that you were celebrating your birthday, and I wanted to extend my best wishes.
Oh, it's so nice of you.
And I know you're one of the hardest-working members of that Congress.
I mean, John Connelly and I are just having a meeting, and
And so now you take off an hour.
How about that?
I'll be glad to, Mr. President.

It hadn't been for you and John, you wouldn't have had any Lockheed Bill.
That's right.
And you got the bill that you asked for.
Well, I must say, we appreciated that very much, and I just want you to know that we thought about you, and I hope you have many happy returns.
Well, thank you, sir.
You've made my day and my year.
Okay.
Bye.
Thank you.
