 Thank you all very much for coming down this morning. I assume that you are all rested on your Labor Day vacation. And I also have a very clear impression that you have quite a crowded agenda now for these next few weeks. So I think we better get started. My primary reason for asking you down this morning is to discuss the drug abuse issue. But before we get into that, I'd like to ask George Schultz if he won't give us an update on the law to get it. And those Danilovs that were in Moscow, which I'm sure I'm hearing is mine. Well, Mr. President, the seizure of Danilov and the other thing up here in the house of the Soviet Union is, as you said yesterday, at the outgrade. They are trying to make it the equivalent of Soviet spy that we thought absolutely red-handed. I think I'm confusing your word. We can't stand for it. They're doing what they want, namely trade and spy. There's no words about it insofar as its impact on the overall relationship between our two countries are concerned. It's the sort of thing that obviously makes a difference, whether they think it should or not. They seem to think it shouldn't. And what is grammatized is that it has to do with human being, the way they're treated, matter in this country. And they don't matter, particularly in their country. And this case only grammatizes that in fact. Now, as far as the literal situation is concerned, Danilov is in prison. He has been charged with violating Soviet laws and also with SBNR. Zakharov would be the head of today, and at least as our prosecutor to see it, we feel we have an absolutely OK discussion about Zakharov's activities. So that's the situation, meaning our view known every occasion when we have the opportunity to do so with Soviet. Make this point clear, along with such points as the unacceptable low level of immigration being from the Soviet Union. In other words, how did they set up that law? A person. Mr. President, good morning. Prime Minister Porcher. Hello. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Well, come in here. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Newly designated ambassador. Nice to meet you. Nice to see you. Well, why don't you chair over there, gentlemen? Yes. Thank you. Thank you. We also... Mr. President, I'm delighted. We forget to order from the beginning. Thank you. Thank you. We have you all back here together. It's just a saying. It brings everybody up to date on various things that are facing me. It's a matter of fact, I've looked at them. And welcome back, our traffic. And thank you. Well, Kenny Coleman, he's the announcer that you can part of that picture. Coming back. I'm his veteran. This is John Minow, pit-sized man. Nice to meet you. This is Mr. Coleman's daughter, Susan. This is Mike. Thank you. John Bailey here, sir. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to see you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Mr. Bailey has something he'd like to give you, too. We want to make sure that the angels don't become any big things. Mr. O'Neill, very simple. Thank you very much. Thank you. I've got something for you, too. First of all, we have an autographed baseball. Thank you. And now, what size do you want? Small. Small. Seven. Seven? The two Texans take a picture. What's that? It's over there. None of that, of course. I know you. You can't pull them for the angels or the Red Sox, huh? Um... You're not going to hit the next one. I was just going to suggest that if you were too hard on the angels, I might arrange to have your taxes on them. I'm tempted to say that I ought to go to the game in Baltimore, right? Because every time I've gone to the game in Baltimore, they've lost. I was president then. Very happy to. I also have this for you, sir, in case you ever decide you want to, you know, put back into an easier job. Should I tell you some of the stories and kind of things we do in that time? Have you? What I did many years ago, I was a sports announcer and broadcast that time when I was in the Midwest and I broadcast the Chicago Cubs and Sox home games. Teams didn't have an announcer then. You'll remember it'd be a half a dozen of you doing the same game. And I remember I was broadcasting a game with the Cubs and the Cardinals tied up 0-0 in the ninth. And, uh, it was telegraphic report. I wasn't at the ballpark. I saw my fellow on the other side of the window there with the headphones on that gets the dot and dash to get the type. So I figured another ball was coming. Dean was on the mound. So I started in and I said, all right, Dean's comes out of the wind up now. Here comes the pitch. And he's shaking his head on the other side of that and he hands me a slip of paper that he was typing through the under the slot in the window and said, Jurgus, was it the blades that Jurgus popped out of? Jurgus, no, I'm sorry. I'm getting ahead of myself. He said, the wire's gone dead. It wasn't Jurgus that played it on that good lord in the ninth. The tide, nothing and nothing. All they got to do is turn that dial. I can't say we'll have a musical interview. And I had a ball in the way to the plate. So I had Jurgus followed up. And I took a chance and I had him follow another one just to be in a home run by the foot. Probably one back in the third and I described the two kids that got in a fight over the ball. Well, this went on until I was setting a world record for somebody standing in the plate. There wasn't such a thing. And now I'm beginning to sweat because if I now say something's going on, they'll know I haven't been describing what was really going on. So I, and all of a sudden Curly sat up and started typing again and I thought, oh boy, here it's fine. So I had another ball come down, followed off another one, slipped me the wire, and then I started a gig of wire says Jurgus popped out in a first ball pitch. People in the street would stop me for days and say, are there any records on that? Is anyone listening? Well, Bob Filler has listened to you. He grew up listening to you on the farm and then me to Iowa. Yes, as a matter of fact, I was there broadcasting when he said big stir in baseball and and was taken on by Cleveland. And the big stir at that time was that the protection for the minor league teams and the Des Moines and the demons should have had first call on him and Cleveland just came in and took him in. The demons started raising the stake. He threw a pretty heavy ball and fell into it. Almost as tough as Grover Cleveland. You know what I often wondered if I may about that picture when Doris Day was at the Astor Hotel and saw the sign saying Alexander coming into pitch. How did she get from the Astor to Yankee Stadium with that Pendleton driving a cab? Well, you were pitching to Missouri and that must have been a lot of funnel balls. Well, actually she made the the advisor we had on the set for that picture was Amy and she told us and she tried because of what he told of the night before when he told him the only way he was able to do it was when you could look over back a third base and see her over there. You see the one thing that the studio wouldn't let us put in the picture. They were afraid to use it at that time how people thought about him. Grover was an epileptic. And while all that drinking and everything even the time in Chicago when they picked him up in the gutter and the judge the next day dressed him down what an example he was setting young people and all that. Grover stood there and took it. And he was in the gutter because he had an epileptic seizure. And that was why the long walk they all commented on how long it took him. He won the first game and he won the sixth game about the greatest oldation anyone's ever gotten. And then he wanted to be at the park in uniform for the seventh game and the night before in the hotel when he looked at her and said I'm tired and she said tired you don't know the pitching he said no you are. He said every time I feel one of those things coming on I look over you give me the strength well the long walk also when later when she asked him because in the cab there she was getting all the work she never did get there in time and when she asked him after why did he was he so slow in getting out there he was in that picture that they wouldn't let in the picture he was facing the only other epileptic in baseball and he said to her he said why should I hurry let him wait I mean in those areas and it was it was great playing and all the things that she could tell us about it many of the major league players were in that picture as extras too Bob Lemon I know Bob Lemon threw the ball for me a few times when Nick shots out there in the mouth and Pete Makovich you remember sure it's on can I tell you a story about Pete when the day was over Pete would be doing all the scenes of the picture taking everybody's part very brash and he'd be up there and he'd be playing actor and so forth and then towards the end of the picture you'd now then pick up little things that you may need for Phil and so forth so having seen him that way on the set all the time and the way he acted the director said to him Pete you get up at the plate and they set the camera right out in front of him he said we want one now and the umpire behind he said we're going to throw a ball and it's a strike the umpire calls it a strike it wasn't a strike and so forth so expecting Pete to really turn around and storm now all of a sudden Pete's up there with a bat and facing the camera the ball goes by and the umpire says strike one and Pete says gee that was no strike thank you so much one other memory jokes to the camera thank you sir Ellie Rump this is Rajas this is Rajas up there it's a wreck there you go you're going to get a big kiss you're going to get a big kiss you're going to get a big kiss you're going to get a big kiss you're going to get a big kiss thank you very much thank you very much well listen thank you for everything and making a member of the team one last fellow Mr. Samway who is what they call Red Sox bloopy hi hi sorry sorry sorry thank you thank you thank you thank you very much thank you I don't know why I can't just stay around talking mortal we've got a couple of meetings this afternoon I think that the National Security Council might have some exceptions so that's it thank you very much nice to see you all right thank you very much thank you Sean Supper we have the voice club here for the year Sean come on thank you very much thank you we have the voice club understand that you vary against drug use in America and we have the voice club also concerned about the drug power in America we five youths have signed our pledge to say no to drugs and be drug free which I would like to present to you at this time the voice club movement has accepted your challenge to attain more than one million pledges from youth across America to be drug free we the undersigned pledge to say no to drugs and to encourage other youth in our voice clubs schools and communities to do the same by signing a similar pledge our clubs will back this campaign with a strong support program of training and community action to help all of us stay drug free at this time you will be presented with all one million pledges we are proud to take on this challenge and we are deeply honored to join you and Mrs. Ray and drive toward a drug free America well thank you very much very much very happy to talk about this very thing in the national crusade and you're out ahead of us great Mr. President thank you gentlemen Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President Mr. President when I was doing the general electric theater on television and every year for about 10 weeks out of the year we had to tour the G.E. plants and all and visit in fact I met individually 250,000 employees in those several years but I remember going to a plant down in Kentucky and it was pretty high gear stuff so we're all women employees about 800 of them all dressed in white nylon because of the sensitivity of the things they were working with and so I stood up we had lunch together and I stood up to say a few words at them and I tried to tell them how nice the view was of all the 800 young ladies there and they emphasized it I said when I leave here I'm on my way to Pittsfield, Massachusetts where there's 15,000 men and a little corn poom voice in the back said you stay here and we'll go to Pittsfield well thank you all for coming here congratulations I do want a group photo here I want a group photo okay I think I can see everybody thank you brother
