[0:00] I have Congressman Goops here, Mr. President.
[0:06] Hello.
[0:07] Good morning.
[0:08] Hi, Charlie.
[0:08] 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.
[0:17] You've got all that, you've got that young spirit and everything, and boy, just keep going, huh?
[0:22] Well, I'm going to try to keep going, Mr. President.
[0:25] This is awfully nice.
[0:26] Well, you're still full of fight, are you?
[0:27] What did you do yesterday?
[0:28] You go home and celebrate in the office?
[0:32] No, I rushed the season a little bit and had an early barbecue last evening.
[0:36] Did you?
[0:37] Yeah, it's a good thing you got in for the snow, yeah, right.
[0:41] Oh, this is so nice of you, Mr. President, and I appreciate it greatly.
[0:45] It's good to talk to you, and we sure appreciate the fine support you've been giving us.
[0:48] Well, you'll continue to get it, I promise you that.
[0:50] You not only vote right, but you talk good.
[0:53] Okay.
[0:54] Thanks a lot.
[0:55] Bye-bye.
