 We thank you for all your efforts and the efforts of your administration on behalf of the Ukrainian Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic Churches, as well as Ukrainian Baptists and Pentecostal believers in Ukraine. We are especially grateful for the hope that you have instilled in the 50 million believers in Ukraine when you met with Ukrainian leaders in Spasselhaus and when you raised the issue of legalization of Ukrainian churches in Ukraine during your negotiations with Mr. Gorbachev at the last summit, as well as recently before the United Nations. We cannot overstate the importance of your efforts on behalf of human rights, national rights and religious freedoms to the many nationalities in the Soviet Union who look to the West for guidance and strength. We can only hope that the next administration will follow your lead, Mr. President, and will be challenged to build upon the good work which you have begun. On behalf of our committee and in commemoration of the millennium of Christianity of Kiev and Rus' Ukraine, we would like to present to you a small token, a commemorative medallion of St. Volodymyr, baptizer of Ukraine, and of the Trident, the Ukrainian national emblem. Please also accept our committee's book, A Thousand Years of Christianity in Ukraine. Making this presentation, Mr. President, our Hizbih attitude, Metropolitan Tyslaw, head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the United States, by the way, was 92 years old, Metropolitan Stephen Sulek, head of the Ukrainian Catholics in the United States, and Reverend Oleksa Harbozhuk, President of the All-Ukrainian Evangelico Baptist Fellowship. Thank you, Mr. President, and God bless you. Well, thank you, Gary. I am aware that the millennium that is being observed in the Soviet Union actually took place a thousand years ago in the Ukraine, and that was the first Christianity to come to the continent there. And yes, we have continued to work that a fundamental part of human rights must be, have to do with religion and the freedom of religion, and we will continue to strive for this, as we did in the recent soliton as we have before, that the very basis must be the freedom of people to practice their religion openly. I know that today in the Ukraine, where it began a thousand years ago, there are upwards of 50 million people who have to worship secretly because they don't dare not allow to come out of the open with it, but we'll continue, and I have to believe that before there's another millennium, way before, there has to be a change, and that is the most basic of freedoms, and you've honored me greatly, and I'll try to be deserving of it. Thank you very much. Signed into law today a major reform of our nation's welfare system, the Family Support Act. This bill, H.R. 1720, for real welfare reform, reform that will lead to lasting emancipation from welfare dependency. It is fitting that the word family figures prominently in the title of this legislation. In so doing, it is really for your life and for the lives of the children you bring into this world. Well, the Family Support Act focuses on the two primary areas in which individuals must assume this responsibility. First, the legislation improves our system for securing support from absent parents. Second, it creates a new emphasis on the importance of work need for a family's breadwinner to maintain the habits, skills, and pride achieved through work. This work requirement also allows us to expand coverage in a welfare family, participate in meaningful work while still getting a needed cash support. Single-parent families also share in the message of hope underlying this bill. They too will know that there is the basic education so necessary to a productive life. Other parents will be offered a broad range of education, employment, and training activities designed to lead to work. To provide new employment opportunities to welfare recipients, states will be entitled to receive $6.8 billion over the next seven years. They also will receive the funding necessary to provide childcare and Medicaid benefits and nevertheless meet their responsibilities to them. To improve the adequacy of child support awards, judges and other officials will be required to apply support guidelines developed by their states for setting award amounts. And to help ensure that the child support awarded reflecting the concern we all share over the federal budget deficit. The Family Support Act contains funding provisions to offset the increased new spending in the bill. The single largest source of the funding comes from a temporary extension of current authority for the Treasury to collect overdue debts owed the federal government by reducing federal tax refunds of individuals not paying those debts on time. In 19 says clear today as it was then and the successes of many fine state programs like that one have made this landmark legislation possible. As lead governors on welfare reform for the National Governors Association, Governors Castle and Clinton consistently presented the interests of the states in getting welfare reform enacted. And that interest has been manifested by many states carrying out their own welfare reform programs. Leaders in this effort credit for the responsible welfare to work and child support enforcement reforms in the Family Support Act. In particular, Senators Moynihan, Armstrong, Dole and Packwood and Benson and representatives Rostankowski, Hank Brown, Michael Frenzel and Downey played key roles in forging the consensus for this landmark legislation. They and the members of the administration who worked so diligently on this bill will be remembered for accomplishing what many have attempted. But no one has achieved in several decades a meaningful redirection of our welfare system. And I think it is time now for me to sign the bill and I thank all. It could be and I'm hoping that tonight's will be because I think there are very great differences between the two candidates. I gave him so many great pointers. You can say hi Jeffrey. How are you? I guess I'm fine. Andy. Andy. I think you're going to see the camera. I know, I think so. Jeffrey drew you a picture today but we forgot it so Ken will bring it to you tomorrow. Did you do that? After school today he drew you a picture today. How should we do this? Here. You want to be in the middle. Come on Jeffrey. You want me to pick you up? Exciting. Go over here now. Jeffrey, look right here. Great. And we've got to do one in front of the desk here too. Hi. These are Reagan's desk. There's a little more in the middle there. How's that Jeffrey? Look over here. Great, Jeffrey. Big smile, Jeffrey. Thank you. What do you say? You don't have to look at the picture anymore. At the camera. Come here. You being shy? Thank you very much. I want to picture this with the boys. I'm a pleasure. How's that? You're going to say thank you? Thank you very much. My pleasure. Okay. Say bye-bye. Thank you. Bye. Say bye-bye. Wait, bye. Bye. He's just going to see those cameras. Please wait. Say bye again. There we go. Bye. Now. Do you want to come through? Well, yeah. Paul, why don't you wait a second here? Let the pond get an individual. All right. President. Oh, should I? Yeah. It's fine. Look at me. I'm right here. Thank you. All right. Why don't you come over here? Who? Her? Yeah. No, you. We're going to do one in front of the desk there too. Other side? Never. Mom, why don't you get in the middle? Get in the middle? Yeah. Well, yeah. That's right. I'll get in the middle. Let's do that first and then I'll go there. I forgot I'm a member of this family. You should be on the other side there. He's a member. Yeah, that's right. We'll frame him. One of the important members. That's for sure. Okay. All right. I don't like doing this. Yeah. He's happy to take it. I hope you don't do you. What? You don't mind having a picture taken. No, do you? No, I got over that a few years ago. Paul, I said she saw one of your movies the other night. Oh, a movie. Santa Fe Trail. Oh, they were running that. That was two big weeks ago. That seems to be a very popular one. I talked to more people that have seen that movie. Oh, God. Now, wait a minute. When was that? When was that made? I think it's something I can tie it to. We've got the book in here. He can look it up and tell you. Oh, okay. Yeah. You know, some of those old movies are a lot better than the new movies that they make. Maybe it's just me. Well, I think they're better. Oh, definitely. Every once in a while up at Camp David, we run movies on the weekends. We're up there and the gang comes in to see them. And every once in a while, we run in what I call a Golden Odie. Golden Odie. And I think they've become fans of them. I'm sure. I'm sure. I mean, this loves westerns or anything. Well, Santa Fe Trail, I got a good lesson about Hollywood. That was kind of early in my career, you know, in that picture. Well, you know, I think that followed the play in the Gipper. And all of a sudden, I was told to be into the studio for wardrobe fittings that I was going to be in the picture with. Be in the picture with Errol Flynn doing Santa Fe Trail. Well, when I got in there, I knew what fittings were. The wardrobe department, you go over there and they've got a dressing room. They come in. There was a whole row of uniforms all hanging up there on a rack. And they were the uniforms of the same era that these were all finished. And I went over and looked at the tag on the sleeve of them. They were all uniforms for Dennis Morgan, who was playing Custer in Santa Fe Trail. And then in came the fellas. The wardrobe men had been working all night after the preview of the Rockney picture, with the half-done clothes to be fitted on me. And they grabbed their arms around these other clothes and just dumped them on the floor. And then began hanging mine up. And I looked, and I looked down there at Dennis Morgan. And I said, I got to remember this. I could be the one being dumped on the floor someday. Yeah, right. Well, that sticks if you mind. But he was all cast and we were both under contract with the studio. So you have a lot of practice for this job, haven't you? Yes, I'll tell you something. I only told a few people. It was a big fuss raised about what is an actor doing running for... Oh, yeah, I remember that. Since I've been here, I've wondered many times, how the devil you could do it if you hadn't... That's just what I said. Yes, yes. Well, thank you very much. Yes, thank you. It's my time again to meet you. Well, this would have had to be about 40 or 41, I think, for that picture. We'll look at that later. I'm glad I got to finally meet you, Mr. President. Well, nice to meet you. Beautiful day. Thank you. Good to see you. Yes. Okay. President, this is Mr. Davis, who's the President of the Congress. My pleasure. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Thank you, sir. Paul Cyberlake, National Executive Vice President. Nice to see you. Daniel Bredemann, National Vice President. And John Black, National Secretary of Trade. This is also Dick Soule, who's been a part of Power of Life. Yes. Good to see you. Thank you. Connie Max going to win in Florida. Yay. What year? Happy year. You did it. Oh, appreciation for your support of independent labor and your friendship. We give you this plaque. And also, it is a honorary lifetime membership at our organization. And again, we are proud to have the opportunity to leave with you today and offer this to you on our behalf. Well, thank you very much. I'm very proud to have this. I think you've been the President of my own union for several years or not there. But I appreciate this very much. And I know how you've been growing. And I know also how much support you've given to not only the things we're doing, but to me as a candidate and that you've also are supporting George Bush. Yes, sir. Absolutely. I know how hard you're working to make us more competitive in the world and all of that. So I'm very proud to join you. Well, thank you, sir. Very much. It's our pleasure. Thank you very much. You had a wonderful... Thank you, Mr. President. You had a wonderful eight years. Well, thank you. Thanks very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. Thank you. We had to start the voting time. Very grateful to see you. It's a big honor to me. Well... And I'm very thankful to you for everything that was done for my family. A name for my wife and the whole family of my children, great children, as a leader of the free world and as a person. Well, I know what these two senators have done with regard to... Very special things. How are you, Mr. President, today? Good morning. Good afternoon. Thank you for letting us come. Well, I know what they have done. As I say, yes, I brought it up in my own meetings with them. I'm so pleased that you finally have been allowed to choose the place where you will live. I think religious freedom is one of the most important freedoms in the world. We keep trying to press this idea on Soviets that it must come. Thank you very much. And you see, I know that in your life you've had too many fruits of your work. And it's all of the maybe small, very important fruits. Yes. You have many, many big fruits. It's after Rosenziem tried 15 years to go out. It's your success, Mr. President. Yes. This is, of course, brought forth. But it was your... And if it's possible, I ask you to let your door open for every welcome. Because he was very instrumental. Oh, thank you. It's very important. Thank God we do have an open door. Would you like to take a picture of this? That would be nice. Yes. Thank you. For Mr. Rosenziem. Yes, especially. He had Mrs. Rosenziem to hand it to me. So, very best regards. Thank you very much. You're welcome. You see, it was a rule in Torah. We cannot interrupt the studies of our children, even for such important things. And he must... He was... He left because of his... At the beginning of his studies and he shouldn't. Here is a survey. You know why? Just one-on-one with General Secretary Gorbachev. This, knowing the numbers and all, and I tried to... I said, look, I'm not going to negotiate something on this. I said, I'm just going to make a suggestion. Whatever it may mean. And I said, it's never occurred to you that if those people were allowed to worship as they choose, they might not feel the need to emigrate. They might... They're Russians. They might stay. And I don't know whether it's a good point or not, but I made that point. I even used our own country. I said, look, this country began on the idea of some people who weren't allowed to worship the way they wanted to. So I hope maybe he's thinking about it. When Dr. Rosenstein arrived in America, his first thought that he conveyed to me, Mr. President, was a concept stated in the Talmud that the increase of religion worldwide is an important ingredient and a very underscoring basic tenet in promoting peace even. Yes. Because when human beings will appreciate human life and that they realize there's someone above them that they are accountable to and we're not just doing as we please, when we please, that is a tremendous promotion of peace. I mean, we need the arsenals as a deterrent, certainly, but this is the power of prayer certainly has its place too. And of course, your presidency brings so many joy to people, to disparate people in Russia. Thank you to you from all my folks. It's very, very special. Half of all. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. You see, and one miracle happened. It was written in our books that nothing in the world is done by occasion, only by the view of our creators. It's your picture, it's your historical speech and the arm covering the memorial. And it's very impressive, very impressive. And in the same, in the same, it's a special meeting and I am speaking in it, you see. And it was the last newspaper, you see. And this paper, it's the biggest newspaper. Can I give it to you? You certainly can. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. And I am very thankful to Senators for the book, so pardon my behavior. George did well, didn't he? Thank you. Well, again, welcome. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. Bye-bye.
