Senator Jack Miller of Iowa.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
And I want you, if you go around the state, if you would, Jack, today and tomorrow, to tell them I called.
Of course, I've written you a letter and everything, but tell them I called.
The purpose is to tell them their vote counts.
We need their vote because, you see, we need the backing...
speaking any mandate and all that that's we can disagree in the domestic thing but in the world scene the next president's got the more that they want to continue this great these great initiatives toward peace the stronger vote we have the better our they can help build up that that
the chance for peace.
See my point?
I certainly do, Mr. President.
You're absolutely right, and I'm delighted, and I'm very, very proud that you called me, and I will receive this as a letter I received personally.
