[1:55] Thank you.
[1:55] Thank you.

[2:38] If they make it, he's more than one star.

[3:08] What is the situation with regard to women getting into the armed services?
[3:35] It is.
[3:36] It is.
[3:36] Exactly.
[3:38] Everybody, all services.
[3:51] Oh, of course.
[3:52] You know that.
[3:53] And the recruiting is going to look a little confusing, but if you don't go out in the sun, it's big scale.
[3:59] So if you don't know what you're trying to do, you don't know that.
[4:04] And, uh...
[4:07] Are there lots of, are there not good fellows?
[4:09] You could probably fill us some more.
[4:12] We've never talked to them, sir, did we?
[4:14] Yeah.
[4:14] We've never had better people.
[4:16] We were planning on interchanging them anyway.
[4:19] Sure.
[4:21] The young college graduate, the young college woman graduate, is going to be an officer.
[4:25] It's astounding how many of those we have applied.
[4:28] And they're great quality.
[4:30] They are, really.
[4:31] Now, that was not renewed.
[4:33] Oh, yeah, well, but then we had some extra.
[4:36] Yeah, this month.
[4:37] Well, it's great.
[4:38] It's great, but not only will you sign a bill that gave them all a pay raise.
[4:43] It's pretty popular.
[4:44] I'm a restaurant, DC, sir, ladies and gentlemen.
[4:49] We have a co-educational office training class.
[4:53] The class this year, Bowdoin's graduated from the top class.
[4:58] And the last class, two of them graduated from the two to three.
[5:02] And the 16th graduated from the 10th and 15th grade.
[5:05] I'm glad to hear that you know that to define adequate people for the peacetime services in Armstrong,
[5:33] And you can tell, particularly those who bring attention to the cruise, that we need them.
[5:40] And they will get them.
[5:43] Because it may be, in many ways, a reality that we have a chance.
[5:49] If I said it right, then you'd want more money.
[5:55] All right.
[5:56] All right.
[5:58] All right.
[6:06] Yes, yes.
[6:27] Well, thank you very much.
[6:28] Always good to see you.
[6:29] Remember when you get a second star, come back.
[6:59] Senator Allen is coming to the table.
