Hello?
Hello?
I just called to wish you a happy 80th birthday.
Mr. Preston, I can't tell you how much I'm touched by the thought that you, with all your burden of work,
Well, we remember our visit there and we came to see you and maybe my daughter may get out late to your party tonight.
They're going to 10 Downing Street and I don't know, but I just wanted you to know that Mrs. Nixon and I sent our very best.
We've appreciated your friendship.
And you have a great life to look back on and a great life to look forward to.
Well, thank you very much, Mr. President.
And I can't tell you how much I've been heartened by your wise administration.
We've still got a few problems, but we'll work them out.
All right.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
