 That would have made a good fixer. Please, just let me introduce our guest here today, His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Akihiko of Japan, who is here as an emissary for his father, the Emperor. And we're very honored and delighted to have him here. It's a return of very enjoyable visit that we had a time ago in his country. The President of the U.S. has made a stand to feel the heat on the board. Could you possibly win? Out of the deference to our guests, and because we have a limited time here for a meeting, I'm not going to take any questions. This is a photo opportunity. Political retribution against senators and both against you. No question. You said you're going to make him feel the heat. No answers to questions. If Judge Hork wants to take himself out of this, if it becomes prepayment for him, would you then consider me? Do you have to catch me on another side? Is that the tie that the Prime Minister gave you? No, it isn't. I don't give a damn if he's under you. That kind of question, I have to say. Where are we at? We thought we had a story. No, if you would excuse his wife, we would go inside here for a week. Mark your house down and get some prey. Mr. President, how about coming talk to us after the war's over? I'll enter a men's room. Where you going to put us, Joe? I don't know. You went into a chucks. You went into that science-branch facing bird room. You're going to have the Speaker here. You ought to go on the right. Yeah. Don't go by the sign. I don't know. I'm not seeing. The speakers are right, and who are you going to put over here? I'll do it on the left. I wonder if you have them all lined up at the other side. Oh, here we are. They go over there. Hey, how are you? How are you? I need company over here. Let's just get what you're doing yesterday. Slide it in. Slide it here. No protocol or arrangement. Slide it in. Slide it over there. Slide it over there. Robert, be a little late. Slide it over there. How are you? Good, good. Slide it over there. I'll say Robert, when I was going to be a little late. Yeah, yeah, he opened up to John this morning. I shouldn't tell the story, but I will, you know, the story about John Paul Jones in the battle, famous battle, and when he said, I have not yet begun to fight, and one bloody Marine down the deck among all the bodies raised up in his elbow and says there's always one stupid bastard that never got the word. Jim Brighton. I'm here. I'm here. Well, do we have a report on his whereabouts? He's on his way. He said he might be a little late. I don't think we could just... If we went ahead with some of the things. The speaker could I interject? One thing the speaker had raised before some of her gets here, the speaker had raised specifically, is with Mr. Duarte, coming up soon, we can discuss what Mr. Duarte might do on the Hill, and this President's speaker is kind of offered to gather members together or in some form, that we might suggest for Duarte to talk to the membership as it is for President Harris. And I mentioned we talked about that, Frank, with the speaker the other night, and the Secretary hadn't had a chance to figure anything about that, but I thought he might make note of that. When is that again next Tuesday? Coming on 14th, is he? No, he hasn't. As I understand it, you're having him here at the White House on the 14th, and you have a stake down to that evening. That's right, that's a weeknight. We could do it there or we could have him the next day or whatever is appropriate or convenient that you think would be helpful. Normally, you know, we haven't, when we're visiting head and state, comes and is received by the members in the Foreign Affairs Committee room at a tea or coffee. And we can do that kind of thing, and if you want to expand it to the focus room where larger numbers can be accommodated, that's usually a question-and-answer session with the press not there except to get mentioned at the very start. Or if you wish, we can do something similar to what we did with our guests by arranging for a joint session of the Democratic Office of the President of the Congress and having it on the House floor. Whatever you think would be helpful. Whatever, you know, we're willing to work with. We've received by any phony democracy moves and I did emphasize the fact that I thought we couldn't even have such agreements had there not been a contract force in place. This was the pressure that all of these things about. I don't think Ortega would have signed any of the Guatemala agreement if it wasn't for that concern. And I welcome you. I want you to know that I think that I emphasized our adherence to both those agreements had to be on guard and aware, so forth. And I suggested in my remarks that with regard to the proposal of $270 million that the emphasis on humanitarian aid had arrived at the ceasefire and so forth. And that if this thing proceeded and the agreement was working then that money could be turned to helping democratization. It could be benefitted in both sides. I welcome your comments and your support of course. President, I think the first thing we have to concentrate on is getting a ceasefire because I've been encouraged about the fact that both the Guatemalan and Salvador conversations have begun directly between the government and whether they lead the ceasefire and hope they will. And what we've had a more difficult situation with the Nicaraguan saying though they have to talk to you through our government in the United States we're saying we're not going to do that and we're saying though you have to talk to the countries and they're saying no we're not going to talk to them. But I find there is a way in which that ceasefire could happen again and I think that's our first priority. Both sides, if I understand right we have agreed to an intermediary person of Cardinal Bondi Robb and his team. I don't see any wrong leaders and countries are indicated to me that that would be a satisfactory thing unless they've changed their mind. I don't know that Rodrigo Arias Yes How are you? I think we've got a couple of minutes to sit down why don't we come in? You want to sit over here? Now? Thank you. Well I just want to look me in the eye and tell me that you're ready to face the press That'll be tougher than anything you'll be asked to do for a while. Well I hope we'll just get to a norther though, won't we? I will officially ask you if you will serve. Yes sir, I will. I deeply honored and very much appreciate your confidence on that. Well, to do it, maybe you're kind of well thought of in a number of corridors around here and are you willing to become his deputy? Oh I am, thank you. I'm pleased to do it. As soon as they tell me that the crowd is assembled out there we'll go out and defy the press. We've got a few things to do next year, so we'll take you on the aviation. We'll be back in touch. I appreciate what you're doing. I'm really looking forward to it. It's nice to have such a solid base to build on.
