Thank you, sir. An unusual way to deliver the mail, but I'll be glad to receive it. I know Paul J. Myer. Thank you very much. Audience member. I apologize for----
Can I finish, and then I'll be glad to hear from you. Okay, thank you. Audience member. Mr. President, Mr. President, from Paul J. Myer. Paul J. Myer, your best buddy. This is for you.

Politicians like George H.W. Bush
