Is that right? Is that right? Is it your birthday? Come up here. How old are you? I said, ``How old are you?'' He said, ``27, but tell them 24.'' Have you ever considered running for office? [Laughter] Can you imagine that, 27 years old and wealthy enough to retire the national debt. [Laughter] Well, happy birthday. I hope you'll have many more. You may not be able to have any years better than this one, but I hope you have many more at least as good. [At this point, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a statement.] Mr. Johnson. Mr. President, it is a tremendous thrill and tremendous honor for all of us to make you an official member of the Dallas Cowboys as a reserve quarterback.
