 I'm proud of her. She's the only one. There's an answer to that. Sorry. We'll just get one yet with what you're writing. Let's wait. There you go. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Good morning. Hi. Thank you for telling you to join us. We've been trying to solve all the problems, as a follow up. Maybe you'daret trouble The President is the usual great job, as you might expect. And, you know, when we had a lot of discussion in trade, I was telling the President that the first issue that the President is to raise in the plenary was the free trade rings and negotiations. So, obviously, this means a lot to him. Jim has been pulling this group of stuff like business people together to try to have a positive influence on all of this, and that's why they're here. So, with that point, I just turn it over to you for any kind of, as you'd like to make to me. Well, I'm delighted to see you all here today and to know that you view U.S. trade relationships with Canada seriously and as hopefully as I do, there at that meeting, as they said, I was a little surprised. There was a quite a demonstration of only a few hundred people opposed to free trade out on the lawn. And I was wondering about this, and then when I addressed the parliament and the galleries were full of really a packed house and came to our approval of the free trade, then I found out that the true balance came up where anything was free. But I was greatly encouraged that they really have that sentiment for us. So, I feel the same way. Prime Minister and I agreed that a free trade agreement would be a major opportunity to expand trade and provide benefits for both American and Canadian consumers and businesses. The Canadians are concerned that while this negotiation is their most important economic issue, some in our country they feel are paying enough attention to it. But it's been a top priority for this administration for some time. And since Canada is our largest trading partner, the U.S.-Canada trade relationship is the biggest in the world, more than a quarter of all of our manufactured goods that are sold abroad or sold to Canada. And they purchase more U.S. exports than the European community or our next ten largest trading partners put together. Canadian-American free trade agreement I think would mean higher levels of efficiency, productivity, and economic growth that will make both Canada and the U.S. stronger and more competitive and trade relations with the rest of the world. And since such a free trade agreement also serves a model for the world and a demonstration of the benefits of cooperation to reduce trade restrictions and carriers, I think it will provide an alternative to policies of protectionism, which set the economic lifeblood of the nations. I'm being rather offensive lately, calling on my age to remind everybody that I'm really, really old enough to remember what the Snoop-Aulay tariff did. But the negotiations to remove the remaining impediments are difficult and they're complex. There are special problems and sensitivities on both sides that must be taken into account. But my conversations will only have me convinced that the will and determination are present on both sides. And I think we can arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement. I need your help carrying this simple but extremely important message to the people, and I hope that I can. I want to follow you. We need to show our Canadian friends that our business community is interested in helping us achieve this goal of a free trade area with Canada. As the negotiations intensify, this spring and summer will be lying on you for your advice. We were all very busy and I truly appreciate the time we're taking to serve the country in this important way. We're a shining example to the rest of the world. Now we wish the private sector in our country enters in and makes things happen about throwing everything over to bureaucracy. Thank you. The part of the Soviet Union, sir. Sorry to bother, Mr. President. Our Presidential Advisor's Committee on Prey. So we had a pretty good interview. Most everybody in chief executive offices are in a outstanding group that gives the government service to us on great issues of all. Forever. Thank you. Especially that crack right in there. That religious remark here. Whenever they come in, in a room, I always think it's like those famous words of the last supper. Anyone who wants to get in the picture, get on this side of the table. Clayton and Ed. I want to welcome you and all the members of my advisory committee on trade negotiations of the White House today. And I know, as you've been told, I was in Canada Sunday and Monday and I'm glad to have this opportunity to maybe give you a personal word, although I understand you've had a report on our trip there. You can tell by the reception that we've gotten the Canadian Parliament at a free trade agreement between Canada and the United States is an idea these times come. They were most enthusiastic about it. And I pledge to Prime Minister Mulroney and the people of Canada that we're going all out to make this visionary proposal a reality, not just for the prosperity and jobs it would create in both our countries, but as an example of all the world that free and fair trade is the way to go, not protectionism. I believe in an America that can meet the challenge of the 21st century. This means better educating our young people, better training our workers, protecting our intellectual property, reforming our antitrust laws and trade laws when necessary and pursuing multilateral trade negotiations, and yes, taking tough actions to open foreign markets that are closed to American exports. We have a comprehensive plan to deal with these issues and we believe we can achieve it. In fact, much has already been done as Clayton knows and has been seen that it gets done. And you've proved to be invaluable advisors, too blatant to me on the development and execution of our trade policy. Now you can get the lights on. Mr. President, are you considering rescinding your trade tariff restrictions against the Japanese or are you impressed by what they've done you call for free trade? We haven't had an opportunity yet to get together but we're going to be treating with that problem and I'm looking forward to a visit by the Prime Minister. Are you convinced you're heading for a showdown with him when he's here? Well, he has been most cooperative with us and I think he still has that same feeling about finding agreements that are fair in both sides. Do you like to avoid those tariffs as possible? Well, they go into effect April 17th. Are they going to go into effect these new restrictions? That's the way it sits now. Some decision is made on their part. Thank you, Mr. President. I can't go on and answer your questions. It's been a part of our time. Thank you very much.
