 Yes, please sit down. Nice to see you all. I hope to take a few minutes on this particular time. I understand we've got a chance to be each one of you individually and we'll get some pictures. I want to be able to identify you if you get in trouble down the road. I'm delighted to announce that we've partured today of this important investment mission to Grenada, led by Craig Malan, the president of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. I'm Shelly Winick, the chairman of the International Committee of our Advisory Council on Private Sector Initiatives. You executives here will explore ways that private American investment can provide economic opportunity in Grenada. In the recent past, many viewed government as the only way to make friends overseas, but government can never make as many friends for America as the American people themselves can. So we've taken every opportunity to encourage private sector initiatives aimed at helping out in Grenada. You may have heard of the support of American businesses already provided for Grenada. Many companies have shipped items from textbooks to first aid supplies for the Grenada people, and this mission represents another fine example of private sector initiatives to help Grenada. The firms taking part of the mission are experts in agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism, technology, areas where Grenada has the greatest meaning. I understand that Grenadian business people are eager to meet all of you when they help plan ways private investment can provide the training and create the jobs, generate the revenue so important as building free enterprise. And I know they'll give special attention to the ways that we can make speedy improvements in the transportation communications between our two countries. This investment mission reaffirms our commitment to helping the people of the Caribbean. It's time just as Grenadians have begun again to dream of a free and prosperous society. By working to turn that dream into reality, the members of the commission, the people of Grenada will be setting an example for nations throughout the Caribbean. And I can't resist now telling you a story that I think will make us do. Winston Churchill said back about the world war two times, and some people may frown on this today, but I asked him to take it some pride in it. He made a remark that we, Americans, seem to be the only people who do have to fight at the same time. Something like that. We're talking to the Marines who flies the coast that was in Grenada, and then went off with the continuance of that Beirut mission and said Beirut. And he wrote a little item back to the armed forces of Germany. And he said that he had noticed that every story dealing with the incident in Grenada, either open with or closed with the line that Grenada produced more nutmeg than any of the places in Grenada. And he decided that the frequency of that was such that it must be a code. And he had broken the code. Number one, Grenada produces more nutmeg than any other place in the world. Number two, Soviets and the Cubans are trying to take Grenada. Number three, you cannot make good eggnog without nutmeg. Number four, you cannot have Christmas without eggnog. Number five, the Soviets and the Cubans were trying to steal Christmas. Number six, we stopped them. The code twice. A couple of months back, John Adams, the Prime Minister of Barbados was being reviewed. And the questioner wanted to know how firmly committed the Democratic Caribbean nations were to free elections. So he asked if the Grenadian people should elect a Marxist government. Would that be all right with you? And Prime Minister Adams answered, yes, it would be all right with me. And I tell you this, I am absolutely sure that the American people will elect a Marxist government before any island in the eastern Mediterranean. So the people of Grenada, Grenada is the eastern Caribbean. First hand, the value of freedom. These things are one free people to another. I think it's our duty to help ourselves. So I thank you. I wish you a very success on your mission. God bless all of you for doing what you're doing. So now I understand I'm supposed to go and stand by the door there. I have no other chance to say it all the time. I don't want to say it. The President and I are going to comment that all of us Americans and I guess the whole world have greatly admired the difficult decisions made regarding the US division of Grenada. And we're undertaking this mission today to fulfill the dream of making Grenada a fashion democracy. I'm going to assure you we do our best. I'm going to try to assure you that. All of us, if I were not able to impress a lot on that commando operation, I'd square that with them. I'd talk to them. The next time anything like that happens, they will be in the very front. You. A long way, right? Yes. It's almost this. Why don't you get on the other side of the front? I wish we were slated last night. We'll see you later. Let me show you how the President's been. I almost ran. We were on December 27. I went to Lebanon. When we were arriving in California, the drafts in front of me called us out. If we were to arrive an hour earlier, they would have met us at the top. I'm sorry, but let me thank you. Mr. President, we need to do individual pictures. Oh, thank you, sir. I see a type in there. Thank you, sir. No, you noticed. I'm glad that you thought that. I saw that. No, it really, you know, it isn't intended to be California. Oh, it looks like that. It's a gold nugget. The skin diapers go up to a river at Columbia, California and dive on weekends. And then there are little jewelry shops set up along the shore there. And they take in the nuggets that they find out there in the river, the Tuolumne River. And it was when I was governor, one of them found this. It's that shape. That's the way it came out of the river. It's a gold nugget. I mean, it looked like California. That's it. That's the reason. Because it is really the shape of California. And for you to think it was, that's the first time that anyone's ever looked and actually seen that resemblance. But it was just out of the river, fresh nugget there. Well, these are just souvenir pins with the presidential crest on them, sir. Thank you. Don't forget that you were here. Well, congratulations to you both, Frances. Thank you for taking the time to sing it. May I say it's redundant. I know it may. I say it's my pleasure. Oh. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Oh, that's my pleasure. President, may I present the Ambassador of Gettings, Ambassador Yalla. How do you do? Madam Yalla, Madam President of the United States. Sir, the four dollars. Let's go. Ma'reta. Ma'reta? Ma'reta. Palmata. No. You and I will go over to front of the fire team brother, to hear what you're concerned about? Pure honor to give you I'm honored to give you my letters of credence from President Tsiputov. Well, thank you very much, and please return a greeting to the President a year and a half ago. He was here in this office with a nice visit and incidentally, our sympathy to all the victims of the recent earthquake. We hope we'll be able to be of help. Thank you very much, Mr. President. And on the beginning of this new year, I would like to express to you on behalf of President Tsiputov, his warmest special wishes for your good health and for your longevity, as well as his good wishes for the well-being of the people of the United States. And he's also asked me to tell you how very anxious he is to strengthen the ties of cooperation and friendship between the United States and Guinea. Well, we share that desire. That's it. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Now, I would like to recommend that we get the children there to see one of them. That's it. Okay. That was my best friend. Well, thank you very much, and welcome. President Tsiputov, thank you very much. President Tsiputov, thank you very much. I was there at the time, Mr. President, when you were a speaker at the Layman Festival in 1972, and you were President Tsiputov, Mr. President, I was there at the Layman Festival in the Layman Service, and the Vice President, he was also the speaker this year at the Layman Service, and he was also a good guy. They all come to the outside. They all come to the outside, because I'm so very very, very proud of the people that have survived. Well, we... I have my letter of confidence, my letter of confidence, and my letter of... Mr. President, I want you to come in now. Thank you. I want you to come in now. Thank you. Thank you. I'll change landmarks for you. These landmarks are very much appreciated. They are the U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. U.S. on Mark's strong stand on security matters. All right. Ambassador Mozambique, I'm going to take that out. Ambassador, I think Mike is over there in front of the fire. Thank you very much. And this is quite an occasion. You are the first ambassador from Mozambique who is testimony now to our improved relations. Please express my thanks to President Michelle. I appreciate his help on some of our dealing with Angola and maybe a retry to accomplish there. You're welcome, Mr. President. Hello, Mr. President. Please give him a message. Welcome. Mr. President, hello, Mr. President. I would like to meet you, and I'd like to meet you next time with this. Hello, there. How are you? How do you do? But you and I will go over there for a picture, and then you will all come in and join us, and we'll be very pleased with all that you've been doing and bring some stability that I know. The process and the results of this meeting right now are a step forward, and also in terms of what we are doing here. Perfect. Where are you? It's a good way. St. John's College. St. John's.
