 The fact that the small town, the grassroots America, believe in local control. They believe in local determination as you do. They're symbolic of apple pie and motherhood. This pie also symbolizes that we, the nations, towns, and townships, look forward to our fair share of the federal pie. War II, one aspect of town government is that people know each other. Some are even related to the typical of the humor and the flavor of small town America. It's about a fellow named Elmer in his town. He, but he was able to provide so many fish every day that the game worked out a little suspicious. And the sheriff, being Elmer's cousin, he went to him and said, why don't you go fishing with him, please? I tossed him overboard and with the explosion up came the fish, belly up. The sheriff said, Elmer, did you realize you just committed a felony? Elmer, read them up. The sign suggests that we're over the hump, but as is engraved on our national archives building, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Good to see you again. And Governor Carl. Brendan, good to see you. Good to see you. Well, let's come in and sit down here. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, Jim. How are you? Good to see you, sir. Hi, Jim. Hi, Jim. Good to see you. Hi, Jim. Good to see you. Right, good to see you. Right, good to see you. How are you? Good, how are you doing? Good, great, while you're here. Here tonight as well next year is going to be great. You've got a year to go, right? That's right. Even in training we're not going to let him retire. We're going to have to do all the work. Just the way he's gotten life. Sure, not. We thought we'd come in and report to you today the summer meeting of the National Governors Association in Portland, and also to raise a couple of subjects of immediate concern to governors. There are some pressing national problems that most of us have. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Thank you. Pleasure to see you. In my three sons, Bruce, President Bruce, and Martin, and Van Juner. Hi, how are you? Well, yesterday my desk place was clean on the night. Well, very good. Because I'm not blocking you. And it's very useful. I like it. Wait a minute. I like joining my company. I like joining. Get your bar. All online. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir. And thank you all for being here. Mr. President, they were just asking me, what are we doing to implement the recommendation of the National Commission on Excellence? I described the regional forums that were unfolding, and I'll just report to you we have five more of them to go, and then we're going to have a sort of a nationwide meeting the latter part of November. And so we're working with the governors, and we're determined as you told me to follow through on that report. And she's at the recommendation director. So that was a question, Justice UK. You got the answer. I'm sure that the Secretary has informed you that we're very interested in restoring excellence to education. It isn't excellent in this country, and he's told you the various ways that the Commission has recommended and how we are working toward that. We think, and not with the federal government abandoning any legitimate responsibility that it has, we do think that maybe some of the problems with education have been too much interference by the federal government where education properly belongs back at a level nearest the parents and in the community with regard to how it is managed, how it is run. And we, it hasn't been touched upon, feel very strongly about something that I know is of interest to you, which is bilingual education. I hope that we're not in disagreement. I happen to be in disagreement with a move that the federal government sort of drifted into with regard to that where it was not meeting the necessity of bringing children of whatever background into the ability to come out of school and deal with the world in the language that is our standard language here. There was less of bringing that about certainly in the federal government's approach and more of simply preserving the language that they did speak and that is going to send it out into the job market pretty soon. And it is very, very, very important. And that's something that I've been hearing for a while. I've been very, very pleased to talk to you all. And I appreciate your time. And I think it's going to be an issue of my heart because you've discussed it with me. And I think it's going to be an issue of your heart that's actually going to be a success. Well, that's going to be a mess of the phone. That's going to be a mess of the phone. You've then started to be able to pull out for a second session to be out of that period now. So I'm going to hire a third. Yes. And then you'll, um, I'll tell you today that I'm all of you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. This is the rest of the world unless the facts stand out to be counted. And Russia must either accept the rest of the world's appraisal or they must identify themselves that's not willing to participate in safety matters and some radiation. And therefore we intend to take a very firm position and get to it. I don't know that, uh, there's anything more I can ask of you. I want to thank you for your outstanding support and those of you here and the people. Thank you very much.
