 They just don't know where to look. A few months ago, we had a reception on the White House lawn for some of America's latest heroes, the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and the rest of them, taking pictures of them and introducing them to their parents as heroes. All of us can be very ashamed of the people they'll sell to. Yesterday, those bad young people braved guerrilla violence and sabotage to do what we take for granted, cashed their votes for president. And some who, in their legislative activities, have not looked at too much favor from what we've been doing. But the calls we're getting back are always just complete enthusiasm of the hero. There are people who knew the risks and the overwhelming effort that could be retired, required, but were undeterred from their goals, even in the women everywhere, and we're grateful. Now let me read the citations and present the medals to each recipient. The first, and an individual whose character shined brightly, as an example to us, Howard Baker has been a force for responsibility and civility on a generation of Americans. It has almost been said he has left his mark not only on the film industry, but on the hearts of all his fellow Americans. In some 60 years in entertainment, performing on stage and screening, master drama, nothing else, and this didn't have anything to do with the failure of Whitaker Chambers. Personified the mystery of human redemption in the face of evil and suffering. As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whitaker Chambers will it all open and inspire. Take for human kindness a great million dear to this fellow country. America is a nation richer in spirit because of Tennessee's economy. In descent, over the years he has faithfully represented our government to numerous occasions overseas and domestically. Dr. Hector Garcia was a credit to his family and community and to all Americans. As an author and entrepreneur who dedicated after the Jackie Robinson's good talk among his peers, his courage over the door of professional sports took a mighty blow for equality, freedom, and the American way of life. Jackie Robinson was a good citizen, a great man, and a true American chef. He's been one of the technical examples of democracy in action. And all we've had back here are the news accounts which did indicate to us that there were some efforts made to interrupt what was going on down there and if they didn't succeed, you won't mind if I burn up the matter if I hope that we didn't have an emergency. I'm sorry. If they have a runoff election now, I'm not sure now that we'll be able to maybe have better protection of the polls than that, but I didn't mean to go back in here. You won't talk in the way you were saying. You weren't hearing about you when you were down there. Jim, I understand you had something that the hair wouldn't have after the runoff. That is a really, I'm glad you had it. If you had any problems. I don't know anything of it. I hadn't really heard anything you did. Mr. President, I think all of us will agree on some basic things. We went and found out in different parts of the country and among us I suppose covered a greater part of that country than any news team conceivably fit it. I estimate that I may have talked to 400 to 500 citizens in five different towns and when you multiply that kind of thing among all the rest of us, Sol Marquise took a transcription of interviews, man in the street interviews in Spanish with people down there and he said it's just a really amazing thing. Those people want democracy. And when you see people standing in the streets hot sun, you ask them how long they've been standing there. They say, well, I got here at eight o'clock and then you see it's almost 10 30. And they aren't grumbling, they're not complaining. They're happy, they're joyous. They're really grateful to be participating in this kind of a process. They believe in it. All of the negative things, the fact that terrorists did prevent some from voting by stealing and destroying their voter registration cards, the fact that the bureaucracy made some errors in an overzealous desire to protect the ballot with a sort of complicated system guarantees against any taint of corruption. And that made it hard for some people to vote. But when you've said all those things, you come down to the bottom line about 70% of the people did vote and their votes got counted. And that's better than we've ever done recently in this kind of presidential election. I really don't believe that in the average American city, we would see citizens standing in a hot sun, first-person rolling down their faces for three hours, waiting the privilege to vote, uncomplaining, happy, and not grumbling about anything. So I just, I came away with a renewed conviction that with all the mortal faults of an electoral system, we have them in our state as a, last time they had them, there's no more in our state and in certain other states. With all the uncertainties that surround that, I think these people have demonstrated their earnest desire for a free democratic society. And I believe they're entitled to that. And Senator Roth and I have both said about that same thing. He's arranging with Howard Baker and others to have the Ambassador if you would agree is coming here Wednesday to talk to. Hello, thanks for coming. Hello, how are you? Go ahead and split the floor to first collect. How are you? How are you? How are you? So you were going to get some stuff. Yes. It's done by the Maryland House of Illinois. We see you, John Layton from Colorado, Senator Sperdell with the Washington Office. Thank you. Should I get in? Yes, thank you very much. We appreciate this time. I have a place to see you all of you here. I have to tell you a lot of my happy experiences in the California business myself. Rancho comes from raising horses. The Reds and the Central run a greater cattle. One day in the state of California I got noticed that I was in a blue cellosis. Oh no. Oh no. That's right. That's right. I was in a state of Illinois running a speech. I mean, I should have left it around. Then they sent the vet to give a shot. Now I know I'm your president and that's the efficiency of government you've cracked. Well, I never forget the experience that I was asking him. You know the thing about that? And I was asking the vet while he was doing a little work in there in the hot sun all day. And I said, well, what happens if you find that they have blue cellosis? Well, he said, anyway, I was seven. And I said, well, what do you mean seven? Well, he said, blue cellosis only affects the milk. He said, not for me. And I said, well, now wait a minute. And then he says, he said, then you get from federal government of the state $75 a head to the fact that you'd have to make the force save. And I said, no, wait a minute. I mean, I just have one more question. I said, wait a minute, I would have to serve these steers. I'm the marketer and I get the money from them. And then I got $75 a head from them. And I said, yes. I said, my last question is, where can I find some more cattle for blue cellosis? I had to decide to fight them all the time I was doing it. And either way, yeah, we're trying to take the ground. I haven't forgotten that experience. Was there anything you'd like John to take back to 200 national directors and state countless directors from youth, sir? We're meeting here in town this week. They'll be fanning back out to 50 states. Just my warmest regard and sympathetic understanding. Your account was just good enough to get out of our van. I've kind of whittled that down a lot of my absence to wear this thing. Just a few for beef. You can't run out of any steers anymore. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Brett. See you. And congratulations. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thanks a lot. See you. One more word for you. I'm President. I'm here, sir. I'm glad to see you. This is Mayhem Abel. It's a pleasure. Mayhem. My pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I have this as a first-start house. I'd like this to be given to the first lady. I'm going to ask if Confederate meeting was held. And ironically, this is Abel Wilkins' first organized meeting was held. So I'd like you all to have this, and also this as an account of his chunky cat on the bone, Abel Wilkins. This is from a grateful little town in South Carolina. And you don't know how much this means to us, Mr. Brett. Well, thank you very much. We're very grateful to you for letting us have this time. I think I'd cut out this part here. Let's wait till he signs it. Thank you very much. Be here to swing down through South Carolina in a few months. Please stop by. Are we going to show you a good time, Mr. Brett? Now, these pens really do write more than just this one word, but they're built sometimes. The Norse of Electricity. I'll give you a may of mine. I'll keep them all kind of. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Brett. Thank you, Mr. Brett. Let's move right out. Now, if you folks don't miss it, very proud of this country. I can't. We don't do that. Thank you very much. Thank you. You'll be back for a moment. Yes, sir. Like me. Just three of us. Okay. Thank you. God bless. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Oh, man. How are you? Nice to see you, Mr. President. That is the picture here. I kind of miss the old place myself. Mr. Brett. This is Mr. Robert Gander. Mr. Robert Gander, Grace Gander, Mr. Span Tarrison, Mr. Barbara Warner-Grant, Mr. Brigid Murphy, Dr. Irving Runner. Well, this is, first of all, I think the American Cancer Society is one of the great examples of popular tourism and I think that I understand about 2,300,000 out there at the grassroots level. And Amanda, it's my pleasure to present to you the American Cancer Society with some courage in it winning over cancer, but also to help others by talking about it. Thank you very much for this wonderful honor. I just want to say that this is really better than the Academy Awards. I've got the President of the United States as the presenter. I really do appreciate it. It's a great honor for me and it's something that I treasure for all of my life. I also want to thank the staff and all the volunteers at the American Cancer Society for choosing me to receive this award. And even though my name is on the certificate, I want to share it with all of the wonderful volunteers who are so dedicated in helping people that have been inflicted with this insidious disease. And we want to reaffirm our dedication to making sure that in the future that cancer will be just something that we read about in history books. I don't know if there are too many progress that this society is helping, but they've made it in that field. And we're simply the three million that have fought the same battle with one. Thank you very much. We're good to meet you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, thanks so much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Hers was cancer of the mouth. Her whole mouth had to be restructured and rebuilt. And then she had to learn and take therapy to learn to speak again. Boy, you could never tell. Hungarian Americans. Oh, yeah. They have a very small painting you'll bring in for it here. This is the one. This is it. Come on, let's just sit here. Nice things about it. Who's it portrait of? It's one you can put in your back pocket. It's a poster to stay inside. Yeah. The Vice President showed it to us before. You'll see. We have another artist. This is Andy. Mr. Mann, nice meeting you. Nice to meet you. Mr. Adrian Mann. Pleasure and nice meeting you. You might meet after Max, the artists that make the presentation. First from Africa, then the boys. This came from the space, from the satellite, through the K-Bow team, you said. So we use as much video as we could and as much as we could do, and here's one of the portraits we have created of you. Thank you very much. In honor of all the Zengarians and all the freedom fighters and for all the freedom that is stand for us, we present this to you. Well, I thank you and I accept it, not just for you who are here now on fighting this, but I think for all the Zengarians who are fighting for freedom. And we shall never forget that. They must have that. Yes. And as many as still photographs as we could get. Hundreds of all thousands of photographs. Finally, I achieved the man. I got the same suit on. They told us the best when you were. Mr. President, as I said to Mr. Lingus before, at least America saw all your news presentations and social TV coverages. He knows all your policies in and out. No, I think we can do better for it than that. What? We'll do better by it than that one. Well, that wasn't bad. Still a lot of proportion. The head was off a little bit. You couldn't stare at the way we were from back there, but it still was out of proportion a little bit. I have to say of all of it, it's one of the nicer ones that you've gotten. Expression. We go from portraits now to 44 magnums. You ready for Bobby? What was the difference, the head too big? The head was too big for the rest of the body again. His little body was my character. Because that's my problem. My head is too small. Mr. President, we've got the gentleman from Smith & Wesson here. Hi, Mr. President. How are you doing, Dean? Nice meeting you. Nice to see you, Mr. President. Good to see you. It's good to see you, sir. I'd like to present that to you, Mr. President. And we don't want to keep the snakes away. I better show them the case. Okay. That's a 44 camera. That's a 44? Right. And it's functional on every respect, sir. We've done a number of things that I'm sure that you're going to recognize. I haven't shown you that. You have a 44. Is it Dean? That's a long answer. This one is a bit more white than this one. The first time you shoot this, you're going to get... It's interesting. It's very interesting. You will rest it. Well, maybe. That's true. That's very interesting.
