 You and I will go over in front of the fireplace, for a picture, and then you will join us, for a family picture. It's a great honor with the President to be the Ambassador of Greece in your great country, and next to you. Well, we're pleased to have you here, and delighted with our relationship with your country, and we also have the signing of the papers all completed on the basis and so forth, and we're very happy with our relationship. Thank you, Mr. President. I can assure you that the Greek government looks forward to very fruitful and very friendly relations between the United States and Greece. We have been allies since the beginning of our countries, of our states, since the years of the President, and we've always looked upon the United States as our great ally, and we feel the same way. Thank you very much, Mr. President, for making you on behalf of the President of Greece his personal words of sympathy and his very deep condolences for the loss of the young American Marines. He asked me to give him a very, very sincere deep condolences, Mr. President. Thank you very much. It has been a very sad day with his touch on us. It would be a pretty good picture. I'm going here to serve our patients and our volunteers. I know you will, but I'm very happy. I hope you'll be happy. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Is Royal Highness Prince Banda? Yes. Good to see you. Great to see you, Mr. President. Now it's your Royal Highness Prince Banda. From a fighter pilot to an ambassador. Yes. It's a great honor for me to come and present to you all my services today. Well, that's cool in front of the fireplace. Very good. Mr. President, Minister Sirai. How do you do? I'm collecting them now. Well, glad that you're here. I think you may find there even as many hazards in this job as there would be in the fire department. I think a little bit more, Mr. President. Well, it's good to have you here. It's an honor for me to be here to present to you and our great friends in this country. We're grateful for the many things that you have done over there. This last one is the most difficult problem. Absolutely. Your Majesty and the sorrow of people extend out profound sorrow and condolences to you. And the families of those brave men. But peace has never been cheap anyway. They went in a very honorable way. This is circumstantial evidence, purely circumstantial. But it's enough to convince me that I think our Iranian friends were back of this. His Majesty spoke with him yesterday and he's convinced that this is so too. From our side and feelings. And I think this is the time that they should know who's their enemies and their friends. Mr. President, can we ask the Minister to step in for a picture? Thank you. Thank you. Great pleasure. Thank you, sir. Please move my respect to Mr. Sirai. I should. Yes. But, let this not go by. I just see a little bit. Oh, come on. I'm sorry. Oh, not at all. I'm sorry. Your President doesn't need to start right now. It's better. It's better. No. All right, Batson. You can get a little jammed up out there. Something that should be there today, sir. We also have some very inspiring guests here. The young man who walked across the line of hope. I'm not making one of them. I'm thinking of several others just to try and prove that the answer to handicaps is not more handouts. It's given them a chance to become a part of the community and move themselves. An 18-year-old girl, a freshman. I don't know if he's the same, a freshman. But a freshman. She has to graduate. She was one of the general students of science in order to do it. I think of this. She is 18 years old now. She has found out and discovered that in reprises and so forth, fossil remains. You can. The links in the teeth now determine better and more accurately the age and everything. And how far back they go. You don't need to find the rest of the stuff. What were the science? A 17-year-old did that. In high school. Listen, I wanted to meet briefly with all of you today. But thank you all. All of us. After you've given me some idea. And I'm gratified for Babs being part of all this. Once he has done. And Roberta Bowell. She couldn't be here today. But I just kept some skew sheets here because I wanted you to know. And I'm pleased to hear that pension reform is moving successfully in the Senate. Child support and enforcement reform is moving in the House. And I share the role of getting these initiatives enacted. It all seems possible. As the matter of the non-pension on related tax measures. Who began to discuss with us back in July. And wrapped up last Friday. I've made some decisions that I believe reflect a balance between equity and need. And are responsible within the overall context of the economy at this time. And I hope we can get them adopted as soon as possible. I agree with you that IRA tax deductions for working spouses. Should be extended to non-working spouses. And that we should change current restrictions. Governing the treatment of tax for alimony. For IRA deductions. And we'll work to permit non-profit dependent care organizations. To be treated as tax exempt organizations. And we'll work to restructure the dependent care tax credits. So that more benefits become available for those with lower incomes. And now I can go on there more of them. But I think I will turn to Ed to cover each of these. And more to have anything to match theirs. And suddenly they see us close to cutting back on thousands of weapons. We've got to make our people understand that. And we're talking a different kind of way. It drives me on a very important point, Mr. President. The idea is that modernization is really impetuous. It isn't the raw amount of people who will measure our numbers against the Soviet numbers and say that, well, they're even. But the fact is they have modernized and we have not. So both the tactics, both in the INF, for example, modernization, we will, the first is in the ground, will give us nearly as many more benefits as there are.
