There you are.[note 1] The Presidential Recordings Program revised the following section of text in 2021 for inclusion in The LBJ Telephone Tapes, a project produced by the Miller Center in partnership with the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library to commemorate the library's 50th anniversary.

Darling?

Yes, beloved.

Did you want me?

I just wanted to see you whenever you’re all alone.

All right.

Just merely to tell you I loved you. That’s all.

Well, I’ll be over there. The Russells [Robert Lee and Betty Ann Russell] still there?[note 2] Robert Lee “Bobby” Russell Jr., the nephew of Richard B. Russell, was a judge on the Court of Appeals in Georgia from 1961 until his death in 1965. Betty Ann Russell was the wife of Robert Lee “Bobby” Russell Jr. from 1949 until his death in 1965. The Russells had eaten dinner with the Johnsons the previous night.

No, they left at 3:30 this afternoon, dear.

I’ll be darned. Well, I . . . Why didn’t they tell me good-bye?

Uh . . . Because I guess they just—they figured you just didn’t have a moment.

I’ll be darned. Well, any other news?

[chuckling] Nothing in comparison to yours, darling.

I’m trying to get Senator [Barry M.] Goldwater [Sr.] [R–Arizona], and I’ll come over just as soon as I get through.[note 3] Barry M. Goldwater Sr. was a U.S. senator [R–Arizona] from January 1953 to January 1965 and January 1969 to January 1987, and the Republican U.S. presidential candidate in 1964.

Honey?

Yeah?

Bring anybody who’s a bachelor or who wants to eat or who would otherwise be doing without supper until real late with you, will you?

OK.

Bye.[note 4] End of 2021 revisions.
