 May we fill with your Holy Spirit. May you give Him the wisdom He needs to lead our country. God, we ask you to impart and do His heart by deep sincerity and a growing sincerity. We ask you to give us the vision how we can be of support to this man for this country has put into such a high place of honor. Lord, we ask you to bless us all in the South Park class. Father, we ask our numbers to grow and expand. We praise the food in Jesus' name. Amen. As a class, you've been one of the strongest groups supporting the programs that make up the platform upon which we were elected. And I want to thank you first for your help and tell you I look forward to working for you or with you for, well, let's say, a while yet. And I particularly want to thank you for your support last Wednesday in helping to pass the responsible bill that will help solve the funding problems for Social Security. Now, I know this was a hard call for many of you, and it was for me, too. But believe me, I think we have a package that will ensure the solvency of the system for years to come. But the most important thing is it kicked that political football our friends have been having so much fun with right out of the stadium, and we can get on with another kind of game now from here on. We were successful as freshmen, and I think as sophomores we face challenges and problems need to be solved. One of the greatest challenges facing us is in providing for our national security. And another is assuring the economic recovery that we're beginning to see, and that we must see is not short-circuited by government spending. Next week you will be called upon to vote in the so-called nuclear freeze resolution. Although technologically it's labeled or technically labeled a non-binding resolution, this resolution threatens to bind the hands of our U.S. negotiating teams in Geneva. And let there be no mistake about it, I'm in favor of a freeze after the Soviets have agreed to reduce the current level of nuclear weapons. And let me ask you, if you were a Soviet negotiator sitting on that other side of the table, the INF negotiations, what inducement would you have to give any ground once we take that position? The Soviets right now have more than a thousand SS-20 warheads targeted on Western Europe, and we don't have one. Now why should they cut back if we make a decision to freeze and thereby not produce any? Now that would freeze it at a thousand or more to zero. Now a great deal has been said about the budget that we've proposed, and much of what has been heard from the other side of the aisle about the budget leaves me to believe that they're so busy talking about it that they haven't read it yet. The budget that we have submitted is fair. It's necessary to avoid ballooning deficits in the out years that would threaten economic recovery. And those who would criticize the plan, I would ask them to come forward with something that they think is fairer and more realistic than what we have proposed. But now we came here to have a dialogue and not a monologue, and so I'm going to quit talking this way and call upon our leader Bob Michael. Alright, thank you.
