Hello.
Mr. President, Rose Woods calling.
Yeah.
Hello, Rose.
Thank you.
I just thought you'd like to know that immediately after you called, that Rizzo had called the ambassador.
Oh.
He was so thrilled about it, and he repeated the whole conversation, and the ambassador was delighted.
So sometime when you get through a lot of these problems, you might like to give the ambassador a call.
Good.
I'll do it.
Because they're not coming out, you know, for that dedication now.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll call them.
Okay.
Fine.
Fine.
