 United States and its president. Well, thank you. I want you to know it's been a hectic day here. That's why we had to call Senator Dole and Secretary Baldritch and away from your session today. And at least one of them is still tied up. I think he's beginning to feel like a hostage. But I appreciate all that you've done for the Republican Party and for our administration in these past four and not quite a half years. You've worked closely with Congressman Vanderjack. And Guy's done a tremendous job in keeping our party in a position to accomplish the things we came here to do. So Guy, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. And thanks are also due to Rich Davos for the time and energy that he's put into this effort. With your leadership during the 1982 and 1984 election cycles, the Republican Congressional Leadership Council was able to funnel $4 million into Republican congressional campaigns. And we saw those resources produce great activity and results at the grassroots level all over the country. In 1982, at the height of a recession, we limited our losses. Then our gains in the House in 1984 kept open the door of change. Republican control of the Senate, of course, has been absolutely indispensable. And I know that many of you were instrumental in giving us the means to keep control of the Senate. I hope I can count on all of you next time around. It does seem any more as if those in-between elections come very often. Here it is. I'm still looking at campaign buttons in my desk drawer, and now there's another one coming along. But if we can keep the Senate and keep increasing our numbers in the House, we can make, and this is my dream, these coming years the most productive and innovative in our history. The potential is there because there's so much left to do. We must continue to fight to reduce government spending. This has never been an easy job. It was once observed that anyone who robs Peter to pay Paul is bound to have the support of Paul. But I've been saying for a lot of years that that philosophy of our opponents of robbing Peter to pay Paul ignores the fact that Peter went bankrupt a long time ago. There's still a bees-ness of interest groups in Washington. And they start buzzing every time anyone talks about reducing federal spending. We came here to make some fundamental changes, to reinvigorate our economy, to strengthen our defenses, and to make our country more prosperous and more secure. And we can all be proud of what's been accomplished in that way so far. Makes it almost worth being in Washington instead of in California. Almost. Missed California. And there's still a lot to do before we move back there. Your friendship and support since coming here have meant a lot to me. So I thank you for your generosity and your commitment. And I know that that commitment is for a long time to come. It isn't just going to pass away after an election or two. And there's one thing above all that will be wonderful to see. What is it, only about four years out of the last 50 have the Republicans held both houses of the Congress. And then these last four, we've held the one house. But that means that for most of the half century, the House of Representatives has been in our opponent's hands. And we've got to do more than get the White House. I had that for seven years out of eight as a governor of California. The wrong side was over in the legislature. That's why I had 992 vetoes. But it would be just wonderful to turn around in a long about 1988 and find not only the White House, but Capitol Hill in the hands of Republicans. We've never had a chance. We've been standing here long enough. And there are more enjoyable things to do so I'll quit talking and just thank you all. God bless you. I came from London, Brad. I need one quick picture. All right. He's a symphony conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony. And I need a picture of the symphony. Right now, here you go. He's a pretty picture of New America. It's fine. New Americans. New Americans. Two years ago. Oh, yes. And we are just absolutely thrilled that we can be here with you today. There were 200,000 people in the downtown Grand Rapids. We're just celebrating maybe four of the July. And we were just the two of them. Just the two of them. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you very much. Would you like to say a few words? Say a few words. So we've got to have a picture taken together. I'd like to meet you. Oh, nice to be here at the National Center. I'd like a pat. I'd like to meet you. This is amazing. I'll just start at last. This summer, are you going to be with us? No, I'm not with this. I see a lot of people taking pictures of my photos. I'm told when I'm going to be. Are you taking them to Pittsburgh? No. I'm just talking to you. I'm just playing with Raymond Tarvin. I'm going to play with the Civic Orchestra. I've got Shalom. Well, I don't know what you're doing. I'm just going to have to do that for a year. So we're probably going to stay with you. I'm just going to get it. Thank you. You didn't shoot, did you? No. Good. I'm just going to have to do this. That's a nice person. Are you going to get it? No. Finally. Good morning. Get in there. Get your hand out. Mr. President. Congratulations. Congratulations. All right, how are you? Mr. President, good to see you. Have a nice week, Mr. President. Is it a guy? Yes. All the best. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
