[0:01] I may go about 4 o'clock.
[0:05] Hello.
[0:06] Mr. President, I have Congressman Erlenborn.
[0:08] Yeah, hello.
[0:10] Hi, John.
[0:11] I'm just checking with my congressional people, Timmons et al., and I find out that you just had a birthday yesterday.
[0:19] Right.
[0:21] And incidentally, it's a very interesting little coincidence.
[0:23] I don't know whether you know it, but you share the birthday with two other Republicans.
[0:29] They're both named John.
[0:31] John Myers is one.
[0:32] And John's Rock.
[0:33] Oh, I didn't realize, John.
[0:34] Yeah.
[0:35] So your mothers all just had sort of that telepathy, and they said, well, John's a good name.
[0:40] Right.
[0:40] Fourth Book of the Gospel.
[0:42] Well, anyway, congratulations, and I'm glad you're in good shape and young enough to be around for 20 more years.
[0:49] I'm looking forward to that seniority that I can gain in that time.
[0:53] Yeah, you get the seniority, and I'm sure you're going to make it.
[0:56] Good luck.
[0:57] Thank you very much.
[0:58] Bye.
[0:58] Bye.
[0:59] Thank you.
