[0:00] Hello.
[0:02] Mrs. Connolly, Mr. President.
[0:04] Hello.
[0:04] Mr. President?
[0:05] Hi, how are you?
[0:05] Well, I'm fine.
[0:06] I thought you should know that you must have a sixth sense, because when I opened your birthday present, Rose had given me a photograph, a colored photograph of San Clemente that had been taken by a friend of hers who had been down there, and it was framed, and it fitted perfectly in the stand.
[0:24] How wonderful.
[0:25] So I...
[0:25] So we put it in our room, and we're all set.
[0:28] I want to tell you that we enjoyed our day with you so very much.
[0:33] Wait a minute.
[0:33] While I have you, I want to tell you, too, that the sweetest letter I believe I ever had was the one you sent down with John on our anniversary.
[0:41] Well, I knew what a hard time you've been having, and I figured maybe give you a little lift.
[0:46] Well, you're a very thoughtful man, and you're also fun, and I appreciate it.
[0:50] Well, anyway, we'll look forward to that party in the spring.
[0:53] All right, and tell Ms. Nixon we're happy she's back.
[0:55] She looks great.
[0:55] Beautiful on television tonight.
[0:58] Okay, thank you.
[0:59] Bye.
