Mr. Tarr, Mr. President.
Good morning, Mr. President.
I just wanted to congratulate you on that fine picture.
You looked strong and vigorous and manly, and I thought, boy, I wouldn't want to tackle you.
I bet you've got a lot of good comments on it, haven't you?
Well, I've gotten quite a few, but it was a very sad thing.
Well, of course it was sad, but my point is, the only thing you could do, I mean, when somebody is a little bit nuts, that's what they are.
They were exhibitionists, basically.
When they come charging at you like that, all you could do is throw it off, and you handled it with dignity.
And you just stay in there.
Never worry about it.
Many times, you know, you're better known by your enemies than your friends.
Okay.
Well, I appreciate the call.
Bye.
Thank you.
