 Professor Albert Wohlstetter and Roberta Wohlstetter. Thank you all, please be seated. We've rendered outstanding service to their country. It acknowledges discipline, courage, high standards and moral character. The three Americans we honor to send a nuclear age. Today we underscore their impressive contributions with a token of appreciation from their fellow countrymen. Paul Netze brought unmatched experience and expertise to his current responsibilities. He has served so long and so faithfully in the highest councils of state that his presence has been almost taken for granted. Today we acknowledge for all the world that Paul is indeed an exceptional individual, a great man and a great public servant. And Paul, new challenges emerging in the post-war world. To give our current foreign assistance program the same boost that you gave to Harry Truman's. Paul Netze has held numerous positions of high responsibility. Secretary of the Navy, let's see. He worked in government to ensure our approach was right. When he saw things headed in the wrong direction, he worked outside the government to alert his fellow citizens. Paul is now playing an indispensable role in our efforts to forge a bold and creative on Paul Netze, the man who seeks them. He is consistently shrewd, but never cynical. Impressively erudite, yet never pedantic. Immensely dignified, yet never stuffy. Always hopeful and yet ever realistic. We're happy then to honor him to help us make sense of the unprecedented security problems we've faced in our modern age. Roberta Wollstetter, a generation ahead of her time of the country. And that is certainly one explanation for the clarity and persuasiveness of his own voluminous words on strategy, politics, and world affairs. Albert Wollstetter is a brilliant man, increasingly and unceasingly rigorous. He's been a steady hand in an uncertain time. His understanding on many levels has been indispensable to the well-being. Albert has been influential in helping to design and deploy our strategic forces an awesome task. He sought ways to make our forces safer from attack, less destructive and thereby less dangerous to us all. Many of them, on which we've operated, can be traced to this outstanding individual. And his work on the problem of nuclear proliferation gave us the insight we needed to better curb the irresponsible flow of sensitive advances can, if properly understood and applied, make things better. But his point, and Roberta's, has been a deeper one than that. He has shown us that we have to create choices. And then these three people began their work at far different times, four decades ago, when our national success was far from certain. Who would have foreseen the extraordinary achievements of the past generation? Not the least of these. The air excels in what we prize appears a hero in our eyes. Well, these individuals are indeed American heroes. I will now read the citations which accompany our expression of gratitude for all led by Secretary Schultz and Bud McFlock. But they're also supported by an able team of negotiators, the most able team of negotiators in Geneva. And we all thank you for your leadership. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. Now Roberta and Albert Wallstetter. One citation, but two medals. Participants in the nuclear era's most momentous events, Roberta and Albert Wallstetter, have shaped the ideas and deeds of statesmen and have helped create a safer world. Over four decades, they have marched themselves among the free world's best defenses. I want to make sure I have the... I'm dazzled and very deeply honored. Mr. President, I receive this great honor not only for myself, but for the brilliant and devoted research men and students with whom I've been lucky enough to work for nearly 35 years. I take particular pride in being given this level of freedom from a president who's stressed that it's freedom that we're defending and that we have to defend it without bringing on a holocaust that would end both free and unfree societies. I'm most grateful and honored, Mr. President. Thank you very much. I'm filling up the questions downplay because whatever he says now will be held against him at his confirmation hearing. What's this statement? It's written down on my dental presses made up of his dental instruments. Go to the state plans. They're renegading them now because two of these have burnt his ass. Okay, Jim, bring that. How long did you two serve in an overlap box? This is a good opportunity with our newly designated Secretary of Health, Governor Otis Bowen Vidya, delighted to be a successive negotiator to do this. All right, why is it that she thinks? Not a decision. Well, she's wondering, all the qualifications that he has in excess of this particular position. Are you doing any special tasks? Any background with the doctor? Any other outstanding positions, including the one that has long been in the state? I can pull them and straighten out, HBW and get our HHS and get it back together? We're not saying much right now because he's still asked to do it for the Senate. What does that mean? Do you have anything to say, Governor? That's the appropriate time. Dr. Bowen, will you continue to educate the ability of my life to sit up and play on my cell when you're head of FDF? I will. Make the statement. Do you think that'll hurt you in the confirmation? No, because I didn't have to deal with it. Mr. President, are you going to do something to try and get that your gradient sailor free again? Are you going to take it to initiative here? Thank you. We have asked the Attorney General to look into this. I'll see if there's a situation that wants it. Thank you for all of your time. Thank you. Fireplace time and then the sun comes out. The fire feels pretty good. So does outside. Well, I know about your activities and what you've been doing up there. But the subject is that interest you and I'm interested too. Well, I think your head is on the right track. The whole concept of both fair and free trade is, I think, both good for us and not good for the project. Good for us strategically in terms of peace and the whole arena. So I think you're really on the right track. We've been trying to fight on the current bill, of course, on the deals with tech deals. And unfortunately, the deals with many of our good friends was strong in seeing some of the others and that makes it tougher. It's turned into a battle of East versus West. Almost every senator west of Mississippi has opposed this. Almost every senator east of Mississippi has been in favor of it. And that makes it a little tougher. I was hoping we could keep the bill away from it. I'd like that. Both of us, the one of your governors, you never like to have to deal with something if you could get your letters, so you should do what they should do. It looks as though they've seen what's up pretty good. Fritz Hollings is smart enough to have attached it to the reconciliation bill, which really forces us to a book. There's no way we can avoid it. Robert? Arnold Fortley? Right in cooperation? No, hey guys. It's to see you. Mr. Professor Tamarcan from well-soiled Jim Bellington and Mr. Wilson Sutter from Iowa. From California. How are you? Good. Alright. What is that? I don't know. That's great. I'm just going to apologize. It was a while in the past, wasn't it? Well, as you said, if you went to that theater and the program actually took you to that, it was not open. I think I have to end all of this here, but we have an east room, certainly, over in the White House we did this morning with some mental freedom members, and they address us along the bank, on the back side of the room, and as I come out, I get proud after saying whatever I'm going to say. That's usually down to the end of the question, and I think the question is, yesterday is the one about did I intend to give the Soviets a veto over, and I believe it's something I haven't done usually, and I answered a two word response that was on television last night, and I said, hell no. That was one of the hands of the chance. The question was suddenly shouted out as I was walking out about there. But was I disturbed or upset? Are you tired? Are you tired? Are you tired of going to a job? I'm tired of going to a job. Go to a job. I said not at all. Mr. Sinclair. President, since you're five years ago, guidance to your cabinet to set out a strategy, putting the United States into a position to be able to deter, but also to influence change in the Soviet Union. And for five years now, you've gone about that very methodically, laying the foundation of strength economically, and our eyes to the point that today, you obviously have gotten the Soviet attention and their expectations of our reply and fall have been disproven. But the question is raised, what next? And in setting this meeting, your guidance to all of us in setting our strategy and our priorities has been to avoid looking at today's issues. This or that bilateral possibility and look instead at the big factors which are going to influence peace or conflict in the late 20th century. What are today our strengths economically, politically, and militarily? What are the Soviet strengths and vulnerabilities in the same areas? And beyond the static measure of power and correlation of forces, what are the trends? What about our body politic? What can we expect them to sustain in the years ahead? A lot of relationships, the same thing. What about trends in the Soviet Union? They're getting stronger, weaker economically and militarily than otherwise. So you've kept everybody focused on trends and strategic factors, as opposed to this or that, second level competition. That's something in common with everyone in the room today. In the course of the past five years, you've remarked in time, too, of having read one or more things by all of the visitors from outside today. And so you invited them to come for a questioning session.
