 There will be no press in here this morning. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. That's a good thing. Before we begin, let me welcome, as you hear, Mickey Edwards, there, making his way to his first leadership meeting. Congratulations on your election as chairman of the research committee. And please, to have you. In addition, let me congratulate Dick Cheney on being elected president of the House Republican Conference and chairman of the House, and then Jerry Lewis on being elected chairman of the Republican Policy Committee. So I'm pleased that you'll continue to have the benefit of the guys that are in the House and both. Now, the first item on the agenda is the budget, and I know that you've all seen by now the Democrats' final kind, which is in a nutshell, and that's the proper price for it. There's a problem with that. Now, it raises taxes by $19 billion next year by over 64 billion. That's defense spending back by 4.5% next year in real terms. It raises non-defense spending by $43 billion over this year's level. The bottom line is that this is a deal that we can all refuse. It's a budget that is backward, and it takes it in its own direction in terms of deficit production's taxes and our national security. Now, I remember the exception I received in the House chamber last January with the words in my State of the Union address that you remember, quote, the federal deficit is outrageous, unquote. As you may remember, the Democrats joined the Republicans standing to applaud at that kind of a mass speech. I don't think they meant it, but they were prepared to blame me for it. Well, I think we've got to keep reminding the Democrats that they can't have it both ways. They can't talk about reducing the deficit while they hope to increase domestic spending. And all of the people are going to tolerate that kind of backward thinking. What the people do expect of us is to make the government live in its means and to promote and not impede on that's potential for economic growth. State of the Union, I also posed a question. How well prepared are we to enter the 21st century? Well, the five months since that time, the House has passed a trade bill with the large step backward from the challenges of the global economy. It not only hasn't prepared us for the 21st century, but it has sent us disastrous prescriptions that are anti-growth, anti-job and anti-consumer. Likewise, this budget plan of the Democrats, it's outdated before the income has been dropped. It would hinder our economy, slow down the engine of progress with more and not less federal spending. Yesterday, I took this message on the budget and spending the amount more toward it. I made it clear that I'm resolutely against more taxes and more spending is the solution to our problems. And I am to tell you, I received just about as many receptions as I've ever received. An incidenty part of my mission was to visit a plant that has had a 70% increase in productivity over the last four years. It's almost doubled its employees. And it's like Harley-Davidson was up in Pennsylvania. It's just, it isn't an industry. It's a religion. And we've seen something around the people and all that they're doing. Yesterday, while we're not looking for confrontation on the other side, I think we, after all, are spending the tax and spending for less government. And the lives of our citizens and for seeing the opportunities presented of exploding knowledge and technology within our own economy. Today, I'll say it's exploding technology. I fear the host landed on the Ascendant and couldn't understand the damn thing I saw. This is a program that stands in sharp contrast to the budget and trade policies of the opposition. We must be shy about stating our differences. The appropriations process is not starting up in the House. I hope our House members will remain as firm and united on those bills and opposing excessive spending with a word when the budget resolution was passed by the Democrats. And now I'm going to ask Bob Doe and Bob Michael to lead on my recess. But I'll just say very quickly, we have a meeting. Fine, thank you. You want this back? No, it's good. Oh, thank you very much. I'm sorry, so no good to see you again. It's looking like a year from last. Oh, you're pretty great. Thank you. Hi, I'm Dennis Buchanan. How are you? I think you should be slamming a little more in that way. Did I get one, Mr. President, with my son here? Yes. How's that? How are you? Just great. Thank you. Nice to see you, Bill Buchanan. Nice to see you. Good to see you. Great. I love your radio. I can't stand it. Thank you. I love that. It's a cable contact. Mr. President, my name is Eddie Cale. Nice to see you. Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. Mr. President, how are you? Good to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Good to see you. Pleased that they put me on the right side. It's good to see you. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Well, that's a pretty, just a bit of it. I appreciate it. Nice to see you. I think I'm in. Nice to see you. Well, nice to see you. Thank you. Okay. There's two stars on the outside. And you open it up. You're on around 50. Cabochon rubies represent the 50 states. The yoke is a similar life. This is the word that wrote the country. It's called the White House Day, which I mentioned earlier. But underneath here is a replica of the White House. For Heaven's sakes. Don't go play with it. And in Fabergé tradition, this was one of his surprises. But there's another surprise. Yeah, the last one. And this honors both you and Mrs. Reagan. Because there's a little cryptic in here. That has been each portrait of yourself and Mr. Reagan. For Heaven's sakes. For me and the nation. Yes. Thank you very much. It's my baby that I'm giving over to you. It's been two years. Thank you very much. And incidentally, thank you all for what you've been doing collectively. And it's having an effect too. We're making some ground. We've just declared war today over the years. And when it's associated with that. They presented me a little statue of the man at Concord Bridge. And I remember that he said, if they mean to start a war there. So I'm going to give it the most amount of time I'll come. Sir, can you just take a little half step to your right? Thank you very much. I want to thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, we're working for you. In that relationships, I will not request that. Okay. I'll help to the following. Right now, the policy is budget reform, and the deficit spending. In grocery shopping for more taxes. Never mind. Never mind asking for more taxes. Nevermind. Nevermind asking for more taxes. Nevermind asking for more taxes. Then if the I guess maybe if any meeting. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That was September 30th, 1979, Mr. President. That first party outside of California before you announced it. That's all. That's all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President. I had a friend of mine that I was the mayor of California. I'm a five-year-old. I'm a five-year-old. I'm a five-year-old. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for this special thing I'm not going to take that around any place unless I've got a gun with me so much it's just so great to say how I really feel Start over
