[0:00] Yeah.
[0:03] Mr. President, can you talk to Mr. William Rogers now?
[0:06] Yeah.
[0:06] Fine.
[0:08] Hello.
[0:09] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:10] I just wanted you to know how much Pat and I appreciated the taste that you and I understand Nellie Connolly showed in selecting that gift for us.
[0:19] Well, I hope you'll enjoy it.
[0:20] It's really great, and I mean, only somebody that knew the house would have thought about this.
[0:25] Well, that's, we thought that it fitted in with the setting.
[0:27] Yeah.
[0:27] And he's meant to be a very good sculptor.
[0:29] Anyway, it's interesting, too, the text.
[0:31] texture he's gotten in the material.
[0:33] But it just fits the tone.
[0:35] That's what we hope.
[0:36] I know nothing about art, but I know things that are beautiful.
[0:39] Good.
[0:40] Well, I hope you'll enjoy it and think how much all of us care about you and how much we appreciate you.
[0:46] What I care about the most is that you took so much time to do it.
[0:48] Well, and we loved that dinner.
[0:50] That was wild for you to give us an anniversary dinner instead of vice versa, but everybody loved it.
[0:56] Well, we had a lot of fun.
[0:57] Good.
[0:57] Well, thank you so very much and thank you for calling.
[1:00] Goodbye.
