Bye. a group, a symbolist group of the RNC leadership to give us all an opportunity to hear what is going on in the world of politics and to compare notes and exchange ideas. And the original plan, as you probably know, is the President had agreed to come by and appear briefly and extend his respects. And then he said, Howard, why can't I stay for life? And I said, Mr. President, believe me. So we are delighted that you do that. And while luncheon is on its way, why don't I make a couple of introductions and I'm going to turn the meeting over to Frank Farrinclough. I'm pleased to be here, ladies and gentlemen. And believe me, I'm going to carry around our Reagan's flag here and do the very best I can 100% of the time to see that Ronald Reagan's programs are... I'm not, Jim, I'm not taking them out until it's cool. I'm well. Thank you. We're glad to have you in the house in now. Yes, he's at the right place. You just want a next lens so you can get the picture. Did you notice all the people looked up when he said Mr. President? Mr. President, there's a story that Pointe Dexter is going to say, he told you all about that money. Is that true? There's a story that Pointe Dexter is going to testify, that he told you about the diversion of money to the conference. I'm not telling me anything to do, I just can't talk. If you think that Pointe Dexter and Norris should be more than my children, you got it. I don't think that she's lying. I was thinking that. I was thinking the next future. So you're feeling old about everything that happened? We're feeling old about it. He got here in just a half, Jim. Break this out. So do you think the resignation of Arturo Cruz is going to hurt the efforts of the conference? He said he's not going to talk. Syriacists won't do it. Listen, if you know what he was doing, he wouldn't be late any longer. at our times we'd better die now. Case in on, we've got a full agenda. As you know, last week I sent up a kind of, which two communications that directly relates to our interests in Central America. First, I asked for 300 million in economic assistance for Central American democracies. And it was our intention that these monies go forward last year, but I understand that the actual appropriations collapsed at the end of the fifth of the year before the continuing resolution reached my desk. So to keep our commitment, we agreed, submitly, the request. And also last week, we took the... How are you? Alan, how are you doing? I'm good. Alan, how nice to sit here. How are you? I'm good. You're all better? Best thing in a ten... Thanks. You're a thinker, aren't you? Clip handsome. There used to be two or three deserts there. One. And no man here. I remember that. I remember that. Give me a twirl. He said, take a jar of a drink. You could eat every college have. And every night when you go to school you see a lot. I don't like young people. I don't like young people. Oh. I'm so excited for you. I'm so thankful for you. I'm so proud of the American people. I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful. Yes, it is. The target of the black community... Yeah, don't think that person is going to be smarter or wilder or you're very much out of it. Very material. Mr. President, there's a bold statement for the Iran-Covered Deal. Well, you wouldn't want to do anything next. Perhaps you'd like to write something down for me. Thank you, Sam. I think you should get or we'll get new contra aid in view of the scandal, the diversion of bonds and so forth. We also think you ought to go over and negotiate a peace deal. We'll bring strong back you. There are no women at this table. Thank you. Why? Thank you. He found his voice. Thank you. Does that 90 day delay the immunity grant going to bother the investigation? You worried about that? Do you think I get it? Special prosecutor wants a 90 day delay in the granting of immunity. Yeah, I know. We're trying. Thank you. You're not afraid of these Democrats, are you, sir? Let's go. Let's go, please. Thank you. Having recovered from Larry Charles. Let me have a brief general rule. They always buy a photo opportunity, no questions. Sometimes you get in here when there's a head of state business. There's no laws. Three or four ways come through like this. And they start shouting questions at you right past the head of state. They don't have a den to do what he's doing there. And all of this. I'm just out of line, so I decided I had a convenient laryngeitis, a cure for illness. I opened my mouth to tell them that. I'm not going to take any questions. They think that's an answer and they'll answer another question. Well, listen, thank you all for coming down this morning. I wanted to be briefed on two important issues. First, the recent developments in Geneva, and second, the situation in Central America, where I believe to be our best course of action. On the Geneva developments, let me say that I was encouraged last month when the General Secretary Gorduchoff agreed to pursue an INF Treaty separately from the other discussions. It's the first time that we've been able to forget that and to get any commentary from it. The timing of that opening was fortuitous since we were then able to complete our internal work on a draft treaty that we've been working on based on the agreement principle that I'd reached with him in regular and that I could instruct our negotiator to present that treaty draft in Geneva. I believe our draft treaty contains the elements that the U.S. had long maintained when necessary for an agreement, stabilizing reductions, global equality, and effective verification. And there are also provisions in strange shorter-range INF. The Soviets have agreed to start to follow on negotiations toward eliminating the residual longer-range INF and reduce the shorter-range reference within six months of concluding the initial INF Treaty. I believe our approach benefits the security of both the United States and the Allies and flows from the alliance's 1979 dual-track decision. And I look forward to having your continuing support of our efforts in Geneva both in INF and the stark defense and space areas of our negotiations. And I ask Frank Carlucci and Ambassador Campelman to brief you further on these developments. And so, Frank, we'll start off. Thank you, Mr. President.
