 You? No gossip. Junior's course. I'll take it, sir. See you. And Clint Eastwood? Hey, how are you? Nice to see you. You're there, right now. And Charles Brown, sir. Do the best I can. Nobody's believed me yet. He's a good son. He looks like a fellow that works back here for me. Well, that's me. How are you, brother? Well, you know what? I think they want some pictures. Group pictures. You want all of us? Wait a minute. That's great. We've got the whole crew. Great. I think they want one just to... You'll forgive us just all of them. No, don't. Is that a bit of a lie? It's not. You want to look over here? Okay. Let's move out of here. Come on, Charles. We don't want Charles. We don't want Charles. No, Charles. Great. You're a brother, Charles. I don't know what I did to all of this. You're a good brother. I don't know what I did to all of this. You're a good brother. You're a good brother. Definitely. There's some times when you probably have to put on a different video. Yes. Well, I think they want this... Everybody wants to play around. Okay. It's about 90 degrees. Nancy, will we follow you? You. Somebody will pick you up out here. I think the shelter will go here a lot. The shelter will go here. What's all about those horses? Are you ready? We better hold here just a second because we're a couple minutes ahead of schedule. There's still some people coming in. So can you give me 30 seconds? I'm going to get started. Well, that'll be all right. You may have 30 seconds. This is pure Washington weather. This is awful standing right here. It's going to be worse out here. You're right. I left my brains on the desk. Do you remember? Yes, so much. I've been better in better states of the world. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States picked up some creep-bottom land. It's all covered with rocks and overgrown with brush, but he set to work and he hauled the rocks away and he cleaned the brush and he cultivated and he fertilized and he planted. He was good to this place here. He went on that way and the old boy was getting a little fidgety and finally he says, Reverend, I wish you could have seen it when the Lord was doing it by himself. Well, today we are honoring praiseworthy citizens who are giving God a hand in preserving our precious gifts. Unlike the farmer in the story, more often than not, those we honor today are protecting our land from some of mankind's active ways. Some of them have been set aside for the benefit and enjoyment of our people and for future generations. When one thinks of America, one thought life refuges, extraordinary urban park system and preserved historic sites. And all this is the legacy of caring individuals, perhaps like the ones we honor today who acted to see that these treasures were preserved and passed on. Protecting our endangered species to pursue plans to recover them. We've moved to stem the serious loss of vital wetlands. We've set a certain effort we've made to mobilize the American people to get them involved in helping each other and in community building projects instead of just waiting for government. We call it our private sector initiatives program. Big pride in America campaign. I thought it was terrific. If we really rely or totally rely on government, whether in conserving our public lands or in any other way seriously that I'm certain they will verify that there can be no greater boom to the conservation and preservation of America's national treasures than the active involvement of the American people. That's as important to us. Our message to anyone who will trash or vandalize our public lands has been forcefully stated. That may be putting it mildly by some of the distinguished celebrities today, those who would reduce the natural beauty. I know the Ed council has given time to send the word over the airwaves and across the country, and they deserve a special thanks. So too do secretaries then will tell and blame you. Well, they too have given us inspiring and energetic leadership. Today we've selected 38 percent of all those who contribute their time and effort are winners and clearly our country is the greatest winner of all. It's the first time this award ceremony or part of it has been held here at the White House. I think it underscores. Thank you all. God bless you. There are no questions, there are no answers. Mr. President, good to see you. Good to see you. May I introduce the White House Science Council. This is Dr. Muck's model. It is an American with AT&T. I'm from MIT. Dr. Teller. This is Dr. David, an excellent science advisor, at the IMF. Dr. David, the head of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. We have already. Look forward reading you. Look at the work. The field of the sword. Let's talk some more. Thank you very much. Well, listen, I'm grateful to all of you for taking the time to come in here. And as you know, this is an important and exciting subject. Certainly it is to me because I have difficulty with the pocket calculator. But from the news accounts I've read, the breakthroughs are being made every day that could have affect almost anything that takes electricity. The government does basic research. The industry does commercial applications. And I think a strong and complementary relationship between the industry and academia and government is vital to maintaining our nation's technology base and the relationship between our scientists in the private sector and the public sector. I recognize the important role that science plays in our economy, not just through immediate breakthroughs, but in our long-range needs, education, manufacturing, and basic research. And that is all the talk that I think I should indulge you because I'm here to find out the answers to what seem to be some very exciting prospects. Thank you, Mr. President. I might say just a word about the White House Science Council. It was formed in Germann Eston in 1982, when J. Keyworth was the president's science advisor this child that I have now. They've been a very hard-working group and have done a large number of some role in federal laboratories and research and reports on the overall educational basis and structure of our science and technology training. They meet every other month with me in the past two days. I find their advice invaluable and some of the good ideas that I pass along to you, I have to admit, comes from each of them before you. I'm good and someone else is good. Dr. Huxbaum, who's the chairman of the White House Science Council, is going to start the discussion and introduce a few other numbers. But at any time, don't hesitate to rather pursue your interests. Mr. President, we appreciate you and the very important topics that you did. And I would like you to introduce... Oh, I'm Mr. President. Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Well, somebody else is going to have to give you the shots when I'm Mr. President. Yes, darn it. I know that I ought to be more charitable toward the military than I should have been, but I'm complaining. Oh, OK. Well, five years, five years. We wish you well. OK. Smile. Smile, I know. Thank you. Thank you. And two, if you can. One minute. I run out of those white anti-histamine pills. Oh, OK. I'll send them over. I'll send them over. OK. Just two reminders for both of you. Just a little souvenir. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. And thank you. It's been an honor working with you. Yeah, listen. I'd like to thank you for all of the people in the military for my career in service and all the things that you've done to help us. Thank you. I've seen the good times and the bad times in the best way with your administration. Well, listen, I'll be out of our country. Thank you for all that you've done in the service that you've performed. Thank you. Thank you. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you. Thank you. I took the last pill this morning. I'm particularly pleased with the total effort that each of you and each of your departments has put into more today. If I can emphasize one point for you today, and that is not charged to each of you, the person that stays involved with the Senate and to continue to make it a top priority for the remainder of our administration. And I'd like each cabinet member to arrange to attend every meeting of the National Reserve. This board offers a unique opportunity to find which each department in effect sublimates their individual interests for that of the total federal drug efforts through cooperation coordination. For that reason, I hold each of you responsible to ensure that you work to eliminate the inevitable turf battles that detract from our goal of a drug-free America. Before I take too much time, I'm going to turn this meeting over to the chairman, Ed Meese. I'm eager to get the latest dope. Thank you, Mr. President. I'll show you some more office stuff. Forgive me for that. Stay focused. Thank you, Mr. President. Several things are taking place today at this meeting, which I think will show that we have made significant progress in our last report to you on the drug situation. One of the things is that we have now every cabinet department participating in the National Drug Policy Board because we found that every department of government literally has something that they can contribute in this battle that you and the First Lady have really provided leadership for. The second thing is that...
