Presley, I thought the United States gave us that. That doesn't want the prices to show. Okay, but let me pay though. We'll get that camera.

In Patriotic Awakening, we say thank you for proclaiming 1987 as a national year of Thanksgiving. The first act of the English settlers was to fall to their knees in gratitude. Surely, we above all people have reason to be thankful. Immigrants through the ages have voted with their feet that America is the greatest nation, is the greatest place on earth to live. The early settlers came to this country to escape the dominion of men and establish a nation whose model is in God we trust. In their Declaration of Independence, they pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for the animal rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They implemented these rights in the Constitution and further defined them in the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing people freedom of religion, speech, assembly and the press. Because of his constant acknowledgement of the intervening hand of God, President George Washington led the nation to the successful conclusion of the Revolution. The writing of the Constitution and the establishment of our Constitution is particularly meaningful that you, Mr. President, are signing this proclamation on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, eight-score and 18 years ago. Television specials and tributes to the armed forces and the... You can go to Japan to live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France and not become a French, to Greece and not become a Greek. You went out to several countries, but he said the miracle is anybody, anybody in the world can come to the United States and become an American. Is that a good one? Yeah. That's a good one. Thank God. Thank you. Three years from coming. Thank you, sir. Bill, in regards to this... Thank you, sir. Thank you. I will. I'll tell honey you said that. Thank you, sir. Good to see you, sir. The waterfowl population was charactered 50 years ago. A bunch of Americans in this land banded together. And instead of turning to the federal government, they went out and started raising money for all these projects. Perfect. Yes. And my dad was one of them. Oh, very well. Listen, no one ain't done a fantastic job. No question about it. Well, and they keep it up, and it's grown and grown and grown. And they spend most of their money in Canada. A lot of them. Yeah. Canada, United States and Mexico. What is it? Something like $40,000. Have I got the figures right? $30,000. Is it acres? Six hundred. Acres? Six. Let's see. Four. Four. Four million. Four million acres. You know, wet land. Yeah. They kind of got a number. Yeah. Four million. Yeah. You got it. Any hooks on them. That's a little nice to meet you. Thank you. The executive vice president. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. It would be nice for you to take time for us. Bill Mormons, our assistant secretary at the Department of Information Wildlife and Parks. Frank Dunkel, who is the director of the Fish and Wildlife Service. Good to see you. I have a little presentation for you here. I don't know if you're looking up the proper name. Ambassador Eisen. All right. Nice to see you. This is a little gift on Ducks and Looters. Two years earlier, it's a bluing kill. And we think that the carbon emissions are easy, you know, to get subscribed on the bottom of it. No one would turn it upside down if they didn't want to break it. We can't do that. We can't do it that way. Okay. I would say, well, I'm very pleased to have this. I have a few of these. A little collection. Oh, good. I'm delighted to have Mr. Ed, too. I'm very pleased. Okay. And this is a commemorative Italian and our stamp celebrating our 50th anniversary this year. I hope you can take that. And this is a history book. Return to Big Grass. Big Grass was our first project 50 years ago in Manitoba. This is a book about history of ducks. Now it's four million acres of woodland. Right. The United States of Mexico. And 600,000 members. Right. We're very proud of that. I'm pleased to have all of this. Thank you very much. Man, we ought to get a group photo holding the microphone. All right. Here we go. No, why don't you see it's here. Just hold it back. Okay. Do you want to move in a little closer? Okay. They're remarkable. Well, thank you very much. They're teaching about getting there with the use of metal. This is a belt. Also, thank you very much. Okay. Well, thank you very much for your time. We really appreciate it. I'm glad you're looking so well after your operation. Thank you. Thank you. Come back. Come on. Thank you very much. Introduce them all to you now. But also in the room today are members of our staff who have been made responsible for putting together all the thoughts and ideas that go for people like this around the table. I'd also like to introduce Bob Helms who built the Human Services and John Bode from the Department of Agriculture. I think you know that we're ready, but they will be our lead testifiers when we start going to the Congress with this because I can't go up there and testify to be happy because of where I am with the White House. With that, to the opening, Mr. President, I think we want to get into, first of all, from the Attorney General, Lisa, how we got here very briefly and then I want to ask some specific strategy questions so that you can get some answers from the next person. Well, it's just like my rules. Is it making any sense? Well, it should emphasize state and community initiative. You also said that we should build into any reform ways to help families become economically self-reliant. Listening to you all, I was so impressed that I believed I said right then and there. Your way was the way we had to go. Here we are again. And your ideas have become our program. As you know, we formally released our welfare study up from dependency. This week and soon we'll be submitting legislation to the Congress. I've invited you here today to ask you how we can rally support for our proposal and persuade the Congress to make it the law of the land. Ask the Attorney General of the University to review for us how far we've got and how we've gotten this far. Mr. President, the starting point on this really...
