Well, oh my.
Anybody that's living in this house always lives in this house.
Absolutely.
Goodbye.
Oh, well, thanks.
There we go.
Well, we've got to give my thanks to your dad.
He still runs the radio, doesn't he?
The radio station, right?
No, thank you.
It's what I was saying.
Oh, that's right.
Communications.
So good to see you.
Well, we appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
We've got him out on his political career.
He's on the way.
Yes, extending copies of all pictures.
You know what I mean?
Because they probably would lose the solution.
That's my guess.
They have to send them copies.
And also make sure they're sent to President Johnson.
We'll do that.
Because our own parts are different, too.
So send copies to both.
Is anybody else you'd like to report that they've been with any of them?
Well, let's see if our conference will have one.
I have one for you.
Thank you.
Listen, I think you better say goodbye to him.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
You know what I mean.
Goodbye.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Okay.
