Hello.

Hello, sir.

Hello, how are you?

I was sorry that I didn't get to call you that time they had your party.

I tried to reach you, but I just wanted you to know how grateful I am for those miserable long hours you put in night after night after night.

And what a fine job all of you have done on the news summary.

Oh, thank you, sir, very much.

Well, I tell you, that new summary is a fantastic achievement.

It's probably, I think, much better than any president has ever had.

And Mort Allen and you and all the rest that work on it deserve an enormous credit.

And we appreciate all those hours.

Thank you, sir.

It was my pleasure to do it.

Thank you.
