Now, Captain, I just wanted to tell you that Mrs. Nixon and I were very, very distressed to hear about the terrible assault on your wife, and we sent our best wishes to her, and you can tell her that we only wish we could do more, but we have such a great feeling of affection
And we are so sorry that this had to happen in our capital city.
Well, we can assure that.
And will you tell the ambassador that we called?
And if there's anything we can do, medically or otherwise, you just call the White House.
Very good.
Good luck.
Good wishes to you and to your wife.
