Mr. President, I have Congressman Philip Crane now.
Yeah.
All right.
Hello.
The President's on the line, Congressman.
Oh, thank you.
I thought you were less than 40, but Bill Timmons told me you had a birthday today and you're 41.
I just want to congratulate you.
Well, thank you so much.
My oldest daughter, who's 11, reminded me this morning that I'm only nine years away from 50.
Yeah.
Well, listen, don't worry.
But you can also tell all those wonderful kids of yours that...
that you have a man down here in the White House that watches these young fellows and that we're glad you're down there.
Well, I'm very grateful for those words, Mr. President.
And get out of that house, unless they need your vote, and get out of that house and get home tonight, okay?
I'm looking forward to it.
My wife and I plan to have dinner together.
You tell them I ordered it.
I will do that.
All right.
And thank you so very much.
Fine, Phil.
Nice talking to you.
Good to talk to you.
Right on.
Thank you.
Bye now.
