 You know, I just got a question that just won't go away. We both come in here. Who has a security? It's true, sir. I'm in the point of age. Here I do, at home she does. Well, listen, I wish you all the very best. I know everyone does. We have an assignment. Where will you be based? In San Diego. Yes, of course. I knew that before. I'd like to come see you, sir. That would be a pleasure. Mr. President, we have something for you to present to you on Commander Sutton on his departure. It's the citation to accompany the award of the Defense Superior Service Medal to Commander William G. Sutton, United States Navy. Commander William G. Sutton, United States Navy, distinguished himself by exceptionally superior service as Naila to the President of the United States from December 1982 to May 1985. Commander Sutton displayed superior leadership, exemplary foresight, and tireless effort, which were of paramount importance to the President's implementation. In this highly visible position, he planned and coordinated numerous events of national and international significance. His role as the Emergency Actions Officer for Presidential Travel was accomplished with expertise and professionalism. Commander Sutton served as the White House Agent responsible for supervising the use of Department of Defense resources supporting the Commander-in-Chief's travel throughout the world. His performance as a military coordinator for the 1984 trip to the People's Republic of China was particularly noteworthy and contributed immeasurably to the effectiveness of the Office of the President and to the effectiveness of the White House Military Office. Commander Sutton had the enormous responsibility of providing the training for three new A's as well as maintaining office continuity during a period of increased presidential travel. The distinguished, distinctive accomplishments of Commander Sutton reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Navy, and the Department of Defense. Thank you, sir, very much. Well, now there's one other thing, too. I know that sometimes you put on civilian clothes, so you have to pair a cuff and something like that. Thank you, sir, very much. Well, listen, thank you for everything. God bless you and happy sailing. Thank you. It's been an honor to serve you, sir. Please be very grateful. I'm going to San Diego, please, sir. I'm going to work at the ROTC and at the University of San Diego. Good. Looking forward to it. The Navy has a soul. Yes, sir. It's true. Might I ask you to pose with our group here? After this trip that we've just been on, I wanted this uniform designed for me for that review of the troops. It's complete with boots and spurs. That's great. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. President, how are you? Fine. Thank you. President, how are you? Good to meet you. Well, I'm pleased to have you here. Looking forward to this. I've come to converse with myself. Why? I want to welcome you all over. Why thank you. I think you would like it over here. Why? You know, there was another party changer in history, Winston Churchill. We changed parties. I was aware of this. And for any time that anybody wants to criticize, you might just respond to what he did. Well, no, I'll use you as an example. On the other hand, he said that some people change principle for party, and some change party for principle. No, you would use that one again, too. I understand. Well, thank you, sir. I'll put them on today. I'll be sure of that. Thank you, sir. How are you? Good to see you. Welcome aboard, boy. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, gentlemen. Oh, good to see you. Oh, good to see you. Oh, it's nice to have you. I've been watching that. It's been true. I've watched it for years. I've told it. Washington had a good time. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. So, I'm glad to ask my first vote, but the President was 1932. I'm sorry. Oh. And at that time, as a Democrat, the party planned to form a court for a 25% reduction in the cost of government. elimination of useless boards and commissions, and a return to states and local communities of fear, constitutional rights that have been unjustly seized by the federal government. Now, who the hell would ever let that happen? Okay, all right. Turn around. Bye, guys. Thank you very much. I'll meet you at your stand. That's nice to talk about. I think that's fine. That's fine. Thank you very much. And Mary Catterton. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Yes. This is a great question. Yes. We're pretty excited. No, I think this is great. I want to ask you that question. Everybody else has been asked. I don't know what you're going to do. Well, a lot depends on what you say. I have to tell you a little story back from my early days as governor. I came governor in California. I think we're really unbued. It was an awful situation. And a big debt had been piled up against the constitution. And the constitution said you couldn't have one and so forth. Right. And it seemed like every day that I went to the office, I'm never having all the office of any kind before. It was a new world to me. And every time I went, there was somebody in front of the desk saying, we got a problem. And another problem. One day, the midst of all this going through, had the radio on in the car. And it was a disc jockey on plan records. It was a blue sky. He said this line I'd never forgotten. He says, every man should take under himself a wife. Because sooner or later, something is bound to happen that you can't blame on the government. That's great. Well, good. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Mr. President. I want to thank the agent. I love the agent honoring the Shetland agent. But this is our leader from Massachusetts. You're hosting. Nice to see you. They're going to make a presentation to you. I'm sure I will not. Senator Peg Lamont from South Dakota. Well, thank you. And congratulations with real good year. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, nice to see you. Just the name, John. Your name is... Well, let's say that's nice to hear. Thank you. I would like to look now from the president of the General Federation, Lewis Club. Well, thank you. And Mr. President, can you go and work with me? It's a great personal sacrifice. It's my son's birthday today. And as I said, can I go to my room? Which birthday is it? 14. I'll give you my very best wishes. I'm pleased to have you. Mr. President, Tony. I appreciate the job you've done. Thank you. Mr. President. I came to you a jar of jellybellies. Remember here? Yes. I'll bring them to support you. Yes. And she's always been fresh with pictures. Well, pleased to do it. Mr. President, the chairman of this group is a presentation for you. This occasion? Yes. We're delighted to present this. I'm a little nervous. The chambered Nautilus spiraling shell was chosen as a symbol for the Federal Council on Aging's Birth Atkins Award for two reasons. It's one of nature's most beautiful works of art combining function and grace. And more importantly, it's a living symbol of age existing virtually unchanged in its present form for 450 billion years. I would like to present that to you and I would like to read a scroll prepared for our reason for our choice of view as the recipient of this award. Thank you. As president of the United States and leader of the free world, you are an energetic, inspiring, and zephyr for all senior leaders in respectful recognition of your sound standards of action and faith which have reinstated older persons as valuable contributors to society's worldwide. The Federal Council on Aging presents to you President Reagan the 1985 Birth Atkins Nautilus Award Nature's Inspiration for Actions. Well, thank you very much. I'm very proud to receive this Birth Atkins Award and I know of what she meant and what she did in the service and I probably shouldn't be part of it and mention it to our party. More importantly, the nation and on behalf of senior leaders of the elderly I'm very proud to have this and it is. We're really proud to have you as a symbol for all the environment in the United States. We're proud to serve on this very, very well. Thank you very much. You know, I still though find myself just growing warm and basking when my old friend George Burns refers to me as Hey Kid. President is a symbol of being eternally young. I'm going to do a group talk. I'm just saying that President you might have to get around us. We need a group picture. You think that's enough time President? Do I really want to do a group picture? Maybe you could match it. It's like the scientists and the mathematicians which has great mathematical significance because in any shell you'll find the same mathematical dynamics and it's very famous for that. This is Sonya and this is an artificial model. It's very interesting. And then it finally comes though to this major piece. And it's been the same. Thank you. We're going to go over we added two things. Mr. Stanton, Coach Stanley and members of the Old Dominion University women's basketball team I've already said congratulations but I'll say it again to all of you here captured the NCAA women's title in March. I know that Old Dominion is accustomed to winning in the national level but this was an especially significant win since it's your first NCAA title. Coach Stanley, I understand that you've been inspiring the team in getting everyone to work together. Could you give me a few pointers then? I like your advice of keep your feet moving and go forward even after your hit. Seriously, you and your players all put forward a hundred percent in the title game against the Lady Bulldogs down in Texas. And Tracy Taxton with Tracy, is that you? Well, your recognition as the most valuable player in the tournament was certainly well deserved after you pulled down 37 rebounds in the final game with Georgia had scored 17 points on top of that. I understand that rebounding was one factor that made the difference in that sweet victory and I know that Old Dominion said that this was your last year on the team. Again, to each of you my congratulations to those of you who are graduating good luck in the future and to those who will be returning to the team next year to enjoy your summer vacation because Coach Stanley, if I am any judge, was waiting for you in the Fed. Mr. President, on behalf of Dr. Alfred Rollins, our university president Dr. James Jarrett, our athletic director our board of visitors our entire university community but particularly these young ladies our athletes and my coaching staff I'd like to thank you for personally taking the time today to recognize the 1985 NCAA national champions for women's basketball.
