[0:00] Hello?
[0:03] Hello?
[0:05] Strom, I just called to wish you a happy birthday.
[0:09] And I hope you and Nancy are having a nice day there and everything.
[0:21] Is that right?
[0:23] Listen, you tell you to do you.
[0:25] You bring her down to the office sometime because while I'm here, I want to be sure she comes in.
[0:30] So she's been in the president's office.
[0:31] You do that now.
[0:32] What are you doing?
[0:38] Sometime, I thought if you wouldn't mind, if you'd possibly get a picture with you, I'd like to have it.
[0:41] Well.
[0:41] I don't know when that should be done.
[0:41] Maybe after the election.
[0:42] The heck with after election.
[0:43] What do you mean?
[0:44] You do it before.
[0:46] It isn't going to do anybody any good afterwards.
[0:49] Well.
[0:50] Could you just bring the baby and you and Nancy come in?
[0:53] All right.
[0:53] I'm in with it, too.
[0:55] How about Tuesday or maybe Tuesday or Wednesday sometime this week.
[1:00] All right.
[1:01] Just come right in.
[1:01] And I'll try to get Pat over.
[1:05] Pat's going to be up.
[1:05] She's going up tomorrow to John McCormick's wife's funeral.
[1:09] But then we get Pat in and you.
[1:11] And around noon time's a good time.
[1:14] Around 12 o'clock Tuesday.
[1:15] Around 12 o'clock.
[1:16] How's that sound to you?
[1:18] That'll be fine.
[1:19] It's also lovely to do it.
[1:19] No, I think it's a great idea.
[1:20] I realize I did you all, but I would like to have a picture of you.
[1:24] Oh, don't worry.
[1:27] I'll do either one.
[1:28] And I'll see that I'll get Pat over there at the same time strong.
[1:37] Okay.
[1:39] Many happy returns.
[1:41] Bye.
