[0:00] Congressman Conable, sir.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:05] Hello.
[0:05] How are you, Mr. President?
[0:06] I'm not calling you to urge you to do anything legislatively today, which I normally would be doing.
[0:10] Well, I don't think you've ever done that, sir.
[0:12] The purpose is, oh, yes, in leaders' meetings.
[0:14] Oh, yeah.
[0:16] But I just wanted to know that...
[0:18] I remember when I left the 40s that I thought, boy, that's really the last.
[0:22] So enjoy your last year in the 40s, will you?
[0:25] 49 years of age.
[0:26] Oh, yes, sir.
[0:27] Is that correct?
[0:27] Thank you.
[0:28] That's very nice.
[0:30] I'm a little appalled to realize this.
[0:32] I've been young all my life up until now.
[0:34] No, but you're only 49, so you're still young.
[0:36] But when you're 50, boy, I got you will feel it.
[0:39] Just that one year.
[0:40] I'll try to carry a big burden next year then.
[0:42] Yeah.
[0:42] Well, you've done a great job, and we appreciate it.
[0:44] Thank you, Mr. President.
[0:45] That's very nice.
