 We've got a look on the description on your own. I keep trying to film the TV camera man now. I've got a good impression. Thank you. Can I have a picture? Good to see you. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Mr. President, Vice Comedin and the Ghostar. I would love to. Here to help the broken. Hi. Good to see you, sir. How are you? Good to see you, sir. How are you? Good to see you, sir. How are you? Good to see you, sir. How are you? Good to see you, sir. Mind if I stand towards the other side I want you to move? We've only got one way to get to the other. I always do it in full circle. Here today from Williams, Jr. Many Americans fall over this country. Virtually every one of the United States knows of his heroism, knows of his reason, but very few of any knew. Those of us who do know of his heroism remembered him only as the unknown hero, and that was one of the terrible tragedies that took place down here on January 13, 1982 when the plane crashed into the bridge. A long time we have known that one man who repeatedly handed the line from the helicopter to others that he thought were in a worse situation than he was, saving five people in all, and then when the helicopter went back by the Coast Guard in a thorough study that has made it known, gave his life and others might live. His family, Billy Williams, his son and daughter, and Leslie, my commander of the Coast Guard are awarding this medal from 607, I think it is, and been given the 100 years history of the medal. There is a gold and a silvery and a medal. Two gold were given to other heroes in this same tragedy, two silvery, and now this one. And Time Magazine said, if the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival, he was likewise giving a lifeline to those who observed him. I think that is true. I had to stand a little taller witnessing this heroic deed and knowing now the man who gets the credit to read the citation. The Secretary of Transportation takes pleasure in presenting the Gold Lifesaving Medal posthumously to Arland D. Williams Jr. for access set forth in the following citation. For extreme and heroic daring on the afternoon of 13 January 1982, following the crash of an airplane in the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., Mr. Williams was a passenger on an Air Florida 737 that crashed in a blinding snowstorm into the 14th Street Bridge that crosses the Potomac River and connects Washington, D.C. and northern Virginia. After hitting the bridge, the plane plunged into the frozen waters of the Potomac River. Mr. Williams was seated in the rear section of the plane, which was partially above the water. When a U.S. art police helicopter arrived to commence rescue efforts, Mr. Williams, although injured, quickly realized that he was trapped in his seat by a jammed seat belt. As the helicopter lowered a line to the survivors for towing them to shore, Mr. Williams, acknowledging the fact that he was trapped, refused to grab the line and passed it on to the other injured persons. The helicopter crew rescued five other survivors and then returned to Mr. Williams. He could not be found as he had sunk beneath the icy waters. By not grabbing the rescue line and occupying valuable time in what would probably have been a futile attempt to pull himself free, other survivors who might have perished if they had been in the frigid waters much longer were saved. Mr. Williams sacrificed his own life so that others may live. Mr. Williams' unselfish actions and valiant service reflect the highest credit upon himself, and were in keeping with the highest traditions of humanitarian service. He signed Elizabeth Hanford Dole, Secretary of Transportation. Williams, I hope that you will receive this. Just there! You'd have a lion on your chest. I got a lion on my chest. It's a 32. Yeah, yeah. Job hunting at that time was governor. He ran ads on radio. There was no temperature. But on radio, urging people to stay in the week. I'm looking for something. I suppose so. Mr. Williams, this picture is taken Saturday in Rome. And we have a rose here. It is blessed by the Lord. Thank you, Mr. Williams. Why is it yours? Yeah, Mr. Percy has it. I'll bring it to you. Thank you, sir. Do you remember the kelp house? My goodness. It's entertaining truth before they were sent overseas. That was before there was a U.S. over. Yeah. Fort Nation was in San Francisco. It was the port of embarkation. Yeah, that's right. It was that time in the spring. I remember the port of embarkation. I remember that one night in the kelp house, there was a young lady singing. These troops up there in this big arena. And she was down on the stage. We put a show together and she was singing. A man, a big sergeant walk right up on the stage, whispered something to her. She stepped back. He stepped up to the microphone and he read off the code numbers. Every unit had a code number. And with it, and the word that went with it told where they were going. And said to all of them, report it in front of the building. And all over this arena, men began standing up and you realize they had their packs, their weapons with them. They warned that this might happen. And in the middle of that show, they started out. I choke up thinking of it because then all over, the other men were yelling goodbye to them and saying, we'll be there. We'll be there. And this girl with the tears streaming down her face stepped back up to the microphone and started saying, God bless America. Mr. President, I'd like you to be shaking hands with Commander Addison. He is one of the people who worked tirelessly to bring us to attention of the people here in Canada. They kept us informed of what they were doing. Thank you. Establishing identity. Thank you very much. We've had about 150 telephone calls. Thank you very much. Margaret? That's the second feminine voice that wasn't Margaret. She got quite a chain of command. Margaret? Well, how am I? I am overjoyed and couldn't be happier and you must be very pleased. What a landslide. Yes, yes it will. And God bless you. It's just, it's a shot in the arm for all of us who have a kind of a solid philosophy worldwide to see this victory. If in the future I should have some need, how would you like to manage a campaign? Yes, but I'll tell you, I was on the plane coming back to Washington. I'd been out in the middle west here when we got the news on the plane, but by then I knew that you must be enjoying a well-earned rest, so I waited until morning on our side to call you. Couldn't wait. I've been waiting for quite a number of days here to make this call and just was sure every day as I followed the reports from over there that I was going to be able to make it. And it just, believe me, you've, I think there must be as much of a celebration mood here in our country today as there is in England. Well, thank you. Yes, and I had my eye up a little bit at one stage, too, I recall, but well, everyone's been treating it here that way. Our press is a little reluctant about it, but they have to admit it. Well, I know you've got many things to do, but just know that we're all very happy here and we congratulate you. Well, thank you. All right, goodbye. Have a happy day. Bye.
