[0:07] 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. [0:16] And what a fine job all of you have done on the news summary. [0:19] Oh, thank you, sir, very much. [0:26] Well, I tell you, that new summary is a fantastic achievement. [0:33] It's probably, I think, much better than any president has ever had. [0:41] And Mort Allen and you and all the rest that work on it deserve an enormous credit. [0:46] And we appreciate all those hours. [0:48] Thank you, sir. [0:50] It was my pleasure to do it. [0:58] Thank you.
