Yes, sir.
Back to that speech, there's only one.
I marked it okay, but was there any reason, did you have any reason for not mentioning the theme we've used so often of the revitalization of rural America and so forth?
I know rural revenue sharing is bad, but...
You know, I think farmers like to hear about the fact that we're going to pay as much attention to the farm as we are to the city.
Well, I took that up with John Whitaker and with Secretary Butz's man, and their feeling was that that just sort of dilutes the main thrust to the farmer, that sometimes farmers are a little worried when we say rural development.
They don't want all those people moving in next door.
All right, fine.
I thought there might have been a reason.
And so it's okay as it is.
It can be run.
Thank you very much.
Okay, fine job, sir.
