Thank you, Mr. President.
As far as we can recollect, you would have met five presidents, Hoover, and then Truman through Johnson.
I don't know if you've met any other commissioners on the issue of the FBI.
So probably just those five.
Mrs. Binnifred is quite able to get around and get to the photo opportunity.
President, you might want to consider having a sit at your desk.
