Yeah.
Mayor Daly for you, Mr. President.
Yeah.
There you are.
Hello?
Mr. President?
Mr. Mayor, I didn't want to bother you, but to tell you that I did appreciate, again, the fine in both Ms. Nixon and I, courtesies that were extended.
We knew this was a political trip, and we didn't expect that nice sign out there saying, welcome, President and Ms. Nixon.
I said, well, you don't know the mayor.
He treats us real nice.
We need to have you come to Chicago.
Right.
We're happy to...
Have it come last night?
Incidentally, let me ask you, as you noticed, I was very nonpartisan.
You could have agreed with everything I said about, you know, strong national defense and that sort of thing.
Let me ask you, is your son getting married, one of them?
Oh, yes.
When is that?
Do that very soon.
In the spring.
In the spring.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Well, I wish him well.
Well, thank you very much.
And when we get the date, we'll send him a little...
Very thoughtful and kind of you to call us.
Well, Mr. Riley's awful good, and that big chief, that big tall fellow, he was great.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
