Mr. President, I have Mrs. Romney now.
Hello.
Thank you.
Mrs. Romney, the President.
Hello.
Hello.
I tried to reach George, and he's on his way back from Texas, but you can pass the message to him.
I just wanted to tell him that that was a fine, courageous speech he made on housing down there.
And we had to bite that bullet, and I appreciated his doing it for us.
Thank you, Mr. President.
He'll really appreciate it.
I know that he'd worked on it all day yesterday with, you know, working out the things with the people here, but we had to do subsidies and so forth.
And I know he became convinced it was the right thing to do, but it was still a darn courageous thing to do.
And he didn't have to do it, so I appreciated it.
Thank you.
I appreciate your calling, and I know he will.
All right.
Thanks very much.
