 Do you have a summit meeting this year, Mr. President? I signed a date that we start with a meeting in Congress this year. That's what happened. Brave, I get scared of everything. First time we were a horse share. It's no big deal. It's no big deal. It's no big deal. You know, it didn't happen. There was a Nazi being a daughter's doctor. The doctor told her what I was doing. He just was not going to happen a month ahead of time. But he did. It's no big deal. Good to see you, Mr. President. Good to meet you, sir. California. Well, I served eight years on your horse. Yes, sir. Oh, God. In the state of business, like this coming in when we sit there and can't begin talking business to the Vice President of Japan before this one who's here visiting. He was sitting in a just stone bottom. And I didn't find out why until after they moved to Japanese campus. I guess the doors are closed. We're all on the glass. Well, Vice President, there has joined us. Well, I want to welcome you all to the White House. Of course, let me say thank you for all that you're doing in the fight to restore voluntary school prayer. I think we're close to victory if we all pull together. Thursday, the full Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a markup session on the Voluntary Prayer Amendment. Very close. I know you're aware that Senator Warren Hatch, who supports my amendment, has also put forth as a possible alternative, a sign of prayer amendment. Frankly, I don't believe we've been fighting this battle to the right to remain silent. My friend in New Jersey does have a valid point, though, about the need to change the original word of our amendment. Senate hearings and the communication that I've received and many leaders have convinced me that we can unite all supporters of school prayer only if we can end the fears that government officials will be drafting the prayers for the school children. Therefore, I've asked the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Thurman, Senator Hatch, and other supporters of voluntary school prayer to revise the amendment that they've submitted my request for the past two years now. And I'm requesting that at the end of the second sentence we add these words. Nor shall the United States or any state compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools. This would solve the sticky problem of straight and drafted prayers without endangering currently acceptable and praiseworthy practices such as inviting clergy to offer invocations of high school graduations and so forth. As revised, our amendment will assure the constitutionality of voluntary student religious groups, children voluntarily saying grace before meals, voluntary devotional prayers, and silent prayer prayers. And this is still a local option amendment. State and local jurisdiction would still have the right to permit spoken prayer, silent prayer, or no prayers for prayer at all. Federal courts would have to stay out of regulating local decisions except to make sure that no one could be required to participate in prayer and that the government could not draft prayer for use in public schools. And I need your help to pass this badly needed amendment. If things go as I hope, we can convince the majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee to pass our revised amendment this week. Then we could aim for full Senate passage in the fall to get the vote in the House of Representatives early next year. The first step, though, is winning in the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. And I know that you can help there. And now I know that my time... Mr. President, this is Junior Mrs. America. Hello there. Hi, nice to meet you. And I hope you can see the whole wonderful family in Alabama starting with her soul. She loves you. And I know that you love all of them. This is her mother. Hello, so nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. And your sister, Allison. Hi, it's nice to meet you. Thank you. Do you remember coming to our house years ago? I'm sure you do. You were still governor. I will. I will? Thank you. I have something for Mrs. Reagan after you. I'm glad that my son used to go teaching though. Let me get this straight. Is that for me or for the... No. I really do respect you. I think you're a fine Christian man. You have the people's best interests at heart. And I want you to know that I visited several conventions and things. I keep looking into the young people and the Junior Misses. And I recently went to the American Academy in Chima where a lot of outstanding music. They're all so supportive of you. And we're the voting age now. So I... Thank you very much. And congratulations, incidentally. Thank you. I want you... I know they're going to have some chores for you now. But I hope they'll all be pleasant ones. And I thank you for what you said. And thank you for these. You make sure she gets that. Yes. I bet that's an end to that. And I thank you very much. It's to everyone for meeting you today. I want to tell you this, Mr. President. We were watching Junior Miss Pageant which takes place in my hometown in Mobile and never has had a girl from Alabama won. And she came down to be one of the finalists and thought it was going to be too good to be true if she wins. She won. I called up on the phone. I didn't think I'd even be able to reach her in that big auditorium. Finally got in touch with her and I said congratulations. We're so proud of you, Stephanie. Is there anything to bring this to you? Yes. I'd like to meet President Reagan. We're so pleased. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right. First together to get prayer back from the schools. Yeah. We're all for that. I appreciate your letter about the equal access bill which I'm sponsoring. They all mentioned it to two minutes away now. Mr. President, I bring the wire photographers and get a picture of the two of you. Oh. Thank you, sir. I see. It's proved that some days are better than others. This is safety state. I have to take it. I was a governor. I was sitting in the governor's box with him. And there was one of those moments in the game when it was very deaf. The Mississippi State was really taking over. And one of those moments when it was really silent. And the whole state is all across silent for a moment. And about 14 of those backups, I heard a voice say, man, if they do that for him, what would they have done if John Wayne was here? That's my memory of Mississippi. And that was in Starkville. That was in Starkville, Mississippi. I guess so. We have no plans. We were in the school there. I didn't know who they were. They didn't know who they were. If they didn't know you were there. Well, yeah, because of the governor. The governor announced his being there and so forth. But you weren't president then, were you? No. No, I was governor California then, yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. All right. So you open the day and close the day. It's beautiful. Thank you for this, John. See you around here. This is the President of the United States. And he is the President of Kiwanis International. He's now in the United States. Kiwanis International is now located in Minneapolis. Why don't we surround him for this next pitch day? Thank you. Yes. I addressed one of your national conventions. 1964. I was this. Yeah. Tomorrow. And support of your deficits. I just want to thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Oh, thank you. You're so nice. We're so involved with your volunteerism. And, of course, I know there are always lots of great things that come in. It is just, it is the most inspiring thing that has ever happened. I have a hearing for all of the countries of every kind of volunteer effort. And I think the top of it, I have a letter on my desk in low grade and fifth grade. A very well written letter. And with it was a check for $187, which the fifth graders have raised and sent to help pay off the national debt. I think it's in fifth grade. If you'd have sent a national debt, I wouldn't know what you were talking about. That's nice. But it's just a spreadable word. Indianapolis is quite a center for national and international headquarters. Yes. That's my memory's trick. I think that's the headquarters of my fraternity. That's right. In fact, we're close to Juarez International. We're out in what's called College Park area, the center 12 fraternities have their headquarters, American Legion headquarters. We're actually from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It used to be the headquarters of the Christian church. I've lost track of all of my church. I understand this. It's about four denominations now, and I don't know which one is which. It's not a which one is which. Yes. It used to be the fiddlin' and the non-fiddlin' and the canvallites and all that, but all part of the group course. Thank you, Mr. President. You're very grateful to see us. Thank you. Thank you so, so nice to meet you. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm very proud of you. We've got a good congressman from our area. Thanks so much. I'm a junior member of the Public Transformation. Well, you're fine, but happy to see you to meet you. Well, pleased to meet you, Madam Chair. Hello, hon. Pleased to meet you. Nice to meet you. I think they like it. We'll do a picture of this fireplace and then with that you come in and we'll do one with all of us together. Welcome you again visually here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. We hope you'll be very happy here. Thank you. It's a nice place. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President, this is a great honor for me. Well, I am honored. Welcome back. I feel myself very at home in Washington. Yes. Nice to meet you. Mr. President. It is quite a pleasure and quite a privilege, Mr. President. Well, we're pleased to have you. You and I will go over in front of the fireplace for a picture and then you will all come in and join us. Okay. Well, we've been very distressed at the terrible natural disasters that have fallen your country down there. Unfortunately, we are facing very difficult moments. And also we've got this problem of some infigestion of the terrorism in my country. And we should try to destroy the strong democracy that we have. I know. But we're ready to fight for it. We're sorry the President had to cancel his visit. We're hoping we can reschedule. I hope to, Mr. President. Because I think you both would be get along very adequately. You have a very strong mind, very strong position. You're a better leader. And I think that my president is also a better leader. Thank you very much. I don't know how many are there. I would put you, I think, between us. That's true. I spent almost five years in Washington, DC. 64, 69. No, we're all. I have been here 20 years. Well, 20 years. He's a banker in New York, you know. So... We have to ask you directions. You were coming from the west as I do. I know, Mr. President, you have a previous game, you have so many responsibilities. And this is for me quite a moment in my life. I'm going to remember it. It was a great support to me. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. We couldn't have known the way we were going to address you. You look very elegant. Thank you very much. Thank you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Very nice to meet you. Congratulations. Pleased to see you. Pleased to see you. Have you ever been in front of the fireplace for a picture? Okay, thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And a brassiere with this over there. Thank you. Thank you. Very pleased to have you here. Right before we've had a few arguments off and on here for a few months, but I choose to figure them that it's like a marriage every once in a while. There are quarrels, but just to stay married. Thank you very much. I know. Thank you very much. Welcome to the four-year stay. We'll be very happy. Thank you. Please see you. I'm Roger Wilson, Mr. President. Nice to meet you. You and I were born here so you can have a picture taken and then you will come in and join us. We're very pleased to have you here. I hope you stay with us. You should be in the middle of the night. You look pretty in your picture. Yes. Thank you. No, you've been representing your country at the UN for quite some time. Well, Mr. President, I've been helping my wife anyway, giving her some assistance at that, but I'm an attorney and I practice law in Chicago. So we were renewed back and forth between Chicago and New York. I was missing home when I told my husband. I thought you were the ambassador for the U.N. Oh, no. I don't know. I just got it wrong. That's the fact that Patrick is a very good friend. He's very hardworking colleague. Yes, he is. Well, pleased to have you here. Thank you. Thank you. This way, please. Thank you, Mr. Blossomberg. Yes, Mr. President, pleased to have you here. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad to be here. Mr. President. Hello there. Nice to see you. May I introduce my daughter, and my son, Fulger. Nice to see you. You and I were born in the front of the fire place for the pictures. Right. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. It's a letter of greetings. Yes. All right. Thank you. Well, maybe a fine relation between our countries. I hope they get better and better every day. I'll do my best to do so. I know you will. Maybe we can persuade this royal highness to come for a state visit. I think they are delighted to be here. I'm glad to see that there's been 20 years in the month of June.
