[1:18:35] Can I take this opportunity?
[1:19:05] But you're getting more money than John.
[1:19:06] Because you changed jobs and not those.
[1:19:07] You got plenty of incentives already.
[1:19:08] I just don't ask the Congress to pay some salary.
[1:19:09] That's $200 a season.
[1:19:21] I mean, it's a big deal.
[1:19:22] It's about $400 a minute.
[1:19:22] Well, let's see over here.
[1:19:23] This room is all of us.
[1:19:23] I'm just very thankful to you.
[1:19:24] I'll at least call home.
[1:19:24] I'll see you all morning.
[1:19:25] I'll call home.

[1:19:52] Here we are.
[1:20:08] Four hundred dollars and a cent.
[1:20:09] He doesn't either way get a great cent.
[1:20:10] I told Mr. Jolson it was a counterfeit, and he said, you're right.
[1:20:11] Okay.
[1:20:11] I just asked for confidence.
[1:20:12] I think they'll pass that part.
[1:20:12] It's not a problem.
[1:20:27] Oh, my God.
[1:20:28] Well, Mr. Ralph tried to save you all.
[1:20:28] I didn't.
[1:20:29] I didn't.
[1:20:47] We'd like to give you a few little gifts for the children.
[1:20:48] This is for the doll families.
[1:20:48] See, they're all over that.
[1:20:49] This is for the ladies.
[1:21:05] The presidential seal, the bow.
[1:21:05] So you can offer that.
[1:21:06] Now, see, look at the boys.
[1:21:06] They're all getting covered.
[1:21:07] Yeah, that's right.
[1:21:08] So you all get covered.
[1:21:08] And it's a small viewer.
[1:21:09] It's an old man.
[1:21:09] You see the old man?
[1:21:31] That's for you, Tom.
[1:21:32] All right, you get it too.
[1:21:32] We get one for the whole family, but we do it, you know, if they need some money.
[1:21:34] There, there you are.
[1:21:34] Now let's see.
[1:21:35] For this man, we have a...
[1:21:54] In the smallest barrels we have, this is the presidential seal.
[1:21:55] It's a little charm that you wear.
[1:21:56] And then for a reason.
[1:22:11] from the boys.
[1:22:11] Boys are outnumbered 23 to 4.
[1:22:12] Oh, I see.
[1:22:12] Oh, I see.
[1:22:12] Oh, I see.
[1:22:44] Thank you.
[1:23:05] The kids are all right.
[1:23:05] The kids are all right.
[1:23:06] Well, everybody wants to eat, you know.
[1:23:07] That's why you're going.
[1:23:07] You're all going to miss this.
[1:23:08] Well, we thank you and, uh, hope you wish you the very best of the year.
[1:23:10] You've already had good children in this room before.
[1:23:11] You see, here's the seagulls.
[1:23:12] Cousin Peter Roosevelt was the designer of the room.
[1:23:37] and there is over there that's Julie in that color.
[1:23:38] Do you know who that is?
[1:23:39] What again?
[1:23:39] That's George Washington.
[1:23:39] It's a very unusual one of the things that's why it's marked there.
[1:23:41] It seems to be unrecognizable.
[1:23:41] That's one of the things that's why it's one of the deals.
[1:23:43] And, you know, either it feels it also.
[1:24:03] So, the other things here is the flags and the services.
[1:24:04] You're always told where the President is and where he goes.
[1:24:06] I mean, it is his office.
[1:24:06] They know where he is and where he's going to be placed.
[1:24:07] And this is changed because he's been elected on this district.
[1:24:24] Goodbye.
[1:24:24] Goodbye.
[1:24:24] Goodbye.
[1:24:39] Well, uh, they can come in and see you now.
[1:24:40] Well, goodbye.
[1:24:40] Oh, well.
[1:24:40] Mr. Rogers is right behind you.
[1:24:41] It's a good start.
[1:24:41] My wife's going to follow you.
[1:25:08] Well, we're so glad to have you here.
[1:25:09] We're honored to have you in this room.
[1:25:39] Bring the, uh, bring the, uh, what was that now?
[1:25:40] Henry, he says he needs some 30 seconds.
[1:25:40] Let's do it.
[1:25:40] All right, well, this is fun.
[1:25:41] Oh, uh, let's see here.
[1:25:41] We've got a way to do this.
[1:25:42] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1:25:42] Well, uh, I guess I need a single idea.
[1:26:06] He was anxious to get in, and then he got out of it, and he was fine.
[1:26:08] Well, I'd like to say, I'd like to say that I have had so well as I could to pass on to you the book, and I ask you to come, which is the full text.
[1:26:11] And you have to call me back in a second.
