You get me Attorney General Mitchell and also I'd like to talk to Secretary Stans.
Do either one have any order that you'd like?
All right, fine.
And Mr. President, Secretary Richardson's in Massachusetts until Tuesday.
Did you want me to reach him there?
If you have a number, yes.
All right, fine.
And I have Mr. W. Clements down holding.
Okay, I'll talk to him.
All right.
The president, sir.
Glenn?
Yeah?
I haven't a thing on my mind except to wish you a Merry Christmas.
Oh, wonderful.
And everything's all right with the Stones, and... Just couldn't be better.
You've made a lot of people happy this time of the year.
Well...
Boys coming back, and a lot of other good news.
Well, we hope so, and...
We couldn't have done it all without you, and we do appreciate all your help, and not just financial, but your moral help means a lot, too.
Well, I think this is wonderful, and we certainly appreciate your call.
Well, we wish you the best.
Wonderful.
And we say our prayers for you daily.
Thank you.
We were so glad to have that little girl at the White House.
She was so good.
Wonderful.
Okay.
Bye now.
Thank you so much.
Goodbye, Tom.
Bye.
