I don't know if they want.
Mr. President, Senator Pastore returned your call.
Do you want to take it now?
Yeah.
Fine.
Hello?
Hello?
I just wanted you to know, John, that I just sent to the Congress today the energy message, and I told my press secretary, Ron Ziegler, to point out that this is a bipartisan effort, that you and Chet Holyfield joined with Hosmer and others, and that without your help, we wouldn't have come this far.
Well, you're so kind, and I'm going to go on the floor at 12 o'clock after your news release deadline and make a statement to that.
Well, I appreciate it.
I think it's a wonderful room.
When you go on, if you like, you mentioned the fact that you and I have talked and that I emphasize that I consider this a bipartisan effort and that this is one that goes far beyond any other considerations and that you fellows played a major part in getting it through.
I shall do exactly that.
It's a privilege to do it.
Good.
Thank you very, very much for calling.
Good.
Thank you.
