 I'm not sure if you can take it off there. A similar time we have to do. We'll see you in a little bit later. Wonderful, wonderful. It was good to see you. I'm so thrilled to say Mr. President. Thank you very much. And this is Richard Mizzo, the Chairman of the Council. Nice to see you. And Dr. Pounce, I'm sure I'm back. I'm so glad to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. This is Greg Hill. This is the President of the United States. My name is Greg Hill. My name is Greg Hill. And this is his big brother, Brian. This is his big brother, Brian, Mr. President. Brian. And this is where this is filled with parents. Where? In Brazil? That's here. And this President, I actually named him, Clemony. He was the founder of the Projects Within Disgrace. There. Joseph Dawson. I know the job. They're gonna be saying. Say hello to Ron. I said, oh, I can't say that. President of the United States. He said, oh, I would never say that to the President. Oh, thank you very much, and welcome to the middle. This is your hand? Yes, ma'am. It's your daddy. There you go. There you go. Thank you. I should do it. Okay. Inside there is a jar, and this seal of the America Sage is engraved on the jar. But inside the jar is filled with jelly beans. Oh. Jelly beans. Okay. I say thank you. You are welcome. Virginia? Who do you have? Mr. President, you could just stay right here. I'm going to put a stand behind the doors. Better talk very loud. There's something about this old office. And from there, there is a dead spot. You can sit right here. Really? I have an answer for this. What? I have an answer for this. You do? I have an answer for this. All right. Of course they want it. They want to write a reference on it. Tell them about you. Step back over here and write a reference on it. All right. Thanks, sir. You know what, half laid it down on it. And that's what I hear with the speakers of the live. But when you leave one of those places, it dries up. By the time I got to the point of using it, I was just trying to figure it out. I'm sorry. I wonder if everybody's seeing it. Okay. Mr. President, one more picture just of these two gentlemen. All right. The problem is the same thing. This creates a different kind of experience with that one. Yeah. I've got to know them. I've got to know them. I've got to know them. I've got to know them. I've got to know them. I've got to know them. Well, after a while, they mentioned the air. It's nice to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Who will our knowledge, technology, and our dreams? In the days and months ahead, let this spot be the focus of progress, not only in the field of energy, but for the cause of peace. The theme of this fail, in terms of being cut off, we've seen our economies manipulate our industry's hands strong and our people squeezed between scarcity and inflation. Together, the results were gas lines, bottlenecks, and bureaucracy. A newly created Department of Energy passed more regulations, hired more bureaucrats, and did not solve the problem. It became the problem. Our administration is determined to press forward for real solutions. Already, we have in the world more than a quarter million barrels, an amount greater than 135 days, more than twice as much oil, as was accumulated in the preceding four years. We will increase it to nearly three times our current supply, as a symbol to our allies of our resolve to reduce our vulnerability. We will ensure it unwavering. The amount of goods and services that we produce for each unit of energy went up last year by 4.5%, the greatest increase in 30, but energy is still a great concern. Even when our fuel conservation, we consume 16 million barrels of oil a day. Now, let me give you an idea how many 16 million barrels is. Imagine once a month. We're the world's largest consumer of energy, but we use that energy well. We are one of the most productive nations in the world. Estimates show that the 25 eastern states and Washington, D.C., which expense most of its energy shuffling paper, produce about as much in goods and services but we can't afford to be complacent. Our energy appetite means our energy production must be allowed to keep our production and progress in the world today. Free enterprise. Our economic and energy problems were in large part caused by government excesses and quick fixes, not by have removed, requalated more than 200 energy-related regulations, cut taxes to encourage capital investment, begun to dismantle the energy problems, the decontrol of all of our energy sources including natural gas, and this we shall do. Within our boundaries and just off our shores, experts estimate that compared to our current reserves, three times as much oil and gas are yet to be discovered, strengthening our economy and helping our allies lessen their dependence on imported oil. In 1981, exports from this country of coal reached 110 million tons. That's 20% more than. Though quite small, our use of solar power is expanding. Many people across the country are experimenting with renewable technologies such as wind and geothermal power. The synthetic fuels corporation has also become operational, managing loan guarantees and price supports for some important projects. We're pursuing our goal of energy security while still respecting and protecting our environment. The staggering statistics of progress that I've recited today are growing independence from foreign oil and our increasing sophistication in using our reserves reflect American ingenuity at its best. This progress didn't come about in the last six months. Inflation, which was 12.4%, has been running at a rate of only 3.2%. And last month, the consumer... Well, we will continue to press for a bipartisan budget but the only compromise offered so far has been if our side agrees to raise taxes, the other side will continue to increase spending. You know, trying to end no government in the history of civilization has ever voluntarily reduced itself in size. With God's help... Spend and spend. We don't have a trillion dollar debt because we don't tax enough. We have a trillion dollar debt because we spend too much. We must balance the budget but history shows it can't be done simply by raising taxes. For that reason, I've asked the Congress to pass as soon as possible a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. Then there will be no partisan pointing of fingers, there'll be no refusing to compromise and there will no longer be any red ink below the bottom line of our budget. 20 years of tax and spend policies resulted in 21% interest rates and we think that's the most compassionate program of help for the people that we can possibly produce. I'm sure that patriots in every country believe that their nation holds the key to world progress but I have long believed the United States of America and her people have a special destiny. Abraham Lincoln said, God would never cease to call America to her true service not only for her sake but for the sake of the world. I believe the challenge of this generation of Americans is to turn our country to a different path, to restore it to the principles that made it great because the free world, indeed western civilization, needs a strong United States. The community of nations must work together to achieve stability, security and peace. This exposition that we open today is another step toward achieving those goals. You know, to those who have refused to take part who are conspicuously absent, who continue to lock their people in misery through isolation and tyranny, we can say to them only we wish you had come but we'll make no effort to hide this wealth of ideals. We believe advances in the human condition can only come from open markets, free trading and stiff competition. Men and nations who ignore those forces will be lost to time. Let the rest of us draw from this exposition a sense of confidence and community. Let us realize that free men and women still have the power to better their lives and raise the standard of living for all mankind. Let us recognize that those things that bind us and keep us strong are democratic political institutions. Our market economic systems, our commitment to liberty and our belief in faith and human dignity. And let us reaffirm our partnership among citizens, among states and among nations. What a partnership it was for this community to bring forth this great exposition. Maybe we should all recall that late in the last century there was a great world exposition and at that time, there was a member of our Congress who actually proposed a measure to eliminate the patent office because he said everything had been invented that needed to be invented or that could be invented. Well, I would be talking into a microphone today. Have a good time and God bless you. Standing by for thee.
