[0:00] Hello.
[0:01] Hello, Mr. President.
[0:03] I just wanted to say that I had learned that you were in the hospital.
[0:10] I was having a little dinner for, just private dinner for Gromyko at Camp David on Monday, and I was wondering if you could come.
[0:19] They said you were
[0:20] sort of out of combat for the moment, but I want to wish you the best, and when you do get back, I hope we can have a visit.
[0:28] Thank you, Mr. President.
[0:29] I certainly do appreciate it.
[0:31] You've done so much for the country, and I think back to that time that we were, as I've often said before, when we were on the Queen Mary, a new briefing,
[0:42] the Herder Committee.
[0:43] We were all dummies in foreign policy.
[0:49] Chris brought you along, and it was a great job.
[0:52] Thank you, Mr. President.
[0:53] I appreciate more than I can tell you.
[0:55] You take care, and we know you're going to, after they get through cutting out whatever they are, that you'll come back better never.
[1:04] Thank you, Mr. President.
[1:06] All right.
[1:07] Bye.
