I may go about 4 o'clock.
Hello.
Mr. President, I have Congressman Erlenborn.
Yeah, hello.
Hi, John.
I'm just checking with my congressional people, Timmons et al., and I find out that you just had a birthday yesterday.
Right.
And incidentally, it's a very interesting little coincidence.
I don't know whether you know it, but you share the birthday with two other Republicans.
They're both named John.
John Myers is one.
And John's Rock.
Oh, I didn't realize, John.
Yeah.
So your mothers all just had sort of that telepathy, and they said, well, John's a good name.
Right.
Fourth Book of the Gospel.
Well, anyway, congratulations, and I'm glad you're in good shape and young enough to be around for 20 more years.
I'm looking forward to that seniority that I can gain in that time.
Yeah, you get the seniority, and I'm sure you're going to make it.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
Bye.
Bye.
Thank you.
