I have Congressman Goops here, Mr. President.
Hello.
Good morning.
Hi, Charlie.
I just noticed from reading one of my reports from Timmons that you had a birthday, and I wanted to tell you that I didn't realize you were that old.
You've got all that, you've got that young spirit and everything, and boy, just keep going, huh?
Well, I'm going to try to keep going, Mr. President.
This is awfully nice.
Well, you're still full of fight, are you?
What did you do yesterday?
You go home and celebrate in the office?
No, I rushed the season a little bit and had an early barbecue last evening.
Did you?
Yeah, it's a good thing you got in for the snow, yeah, right.
Oh, this is so nice of you, Mr. President, and I appreciate it greatly.
It's good to talk to you, and we sure appreciate the fine support you've been giving us.
Well, you'll continue to get it, I promise you that.
You not only vote right, but you talk good.
Okay.
Thanks a lot.
Bye-bye.
