 Get your hands off me, you're right here. Get her out of here. Can you get that from that? He's out of the way. He's in the car somehow. I like to have this suit. I like to have this suit. Thank you. Thank you. So are you getting these shots for only a muller with breast cancer? Okay. But all right. Instead of the usual chit chat here now while the cameras are on us, I'm going to make a little statement in their presence because of the death that took place this morning. And that was the agreement that's been drawn between Lebanon and Israel and was signed this morning. And I think it's a positive step toward peace in the Middle East. And I'd like to extend my personal congratulations to President Jomayon and Department Minister Begin and their colleagues for the courage and states in the shift that they've shown. But also, I would like to extend, and I think on behalf of all of the country, the heartfelt thanks for our Secretary of State, George Schulz. And on top of the long-term efforts of our ambassadors Habib and Draper who were working over there, George went over and I think set some kind of a record for going without sleep or rest in a real nonstop shuttle. And now that brings about disagreement that I think gives hope for ending the suffering of Lebanese people. It will initiate a process which will culminate in the withdrawal of all external forces from Lebanon and of restoring Lebanon's sovereignty, independence and control over its territory. And this will enhance the security, I think, and well-being of Lebanon and all of its neighbors. It reserves the support of all of Lebanon's friends in the Middle East and around the world. And the way is now clear for others whose forces are in Lebanon to agree to withdraw as well. And this opportunity shouldn't be allowed to slip away. The risks that withdrawal fails are far greater than the risks of completing the withdrawal. And we will stand firm to decide Lebanon as this effort continues in the weeks and months ahead. And again, my thanks to George Schulz for what he has accomplished right there. What do you think is the possibility of withdrawal of Syria forces in the PLO? Tonight on the Brecht Office. I have a cat to ask. That's the telephone calls. We know how that is. Might even have been some people you know. I want to, I think we all share a common concern about the United States' return of building and the posture to pursue arms control agreements at the same time with the Soviet Union. And therefore I happen to believe that the MX missile as recommended in the Scopecroft Commission's report is a very important part. First of all, I support their entire recommendation. I think they put three very important factors together. Modernization, deterrence, and arms control in that agreement. And I think we start picking it apart and selecting parts out of it. I don't think we're going to do as well as we will accepting the whole commission report. But I like the stress right now on the arms control part. I keep using the word control we all do and yet what I really mean is arms reduction. And to those who have intimated that they think I may be just posturing on this and that I don't mean it. I haven't got anything as close to my heart than getting a reduction of nuclear weapons. And hopefully if we start down that road maybe one day we can get some common sense and go all the way down that road. I just can't believe that we should look endlessly down the line and believe that the world should exist with that type of weapon aimed at each other. So I know that's going to be the subject this afternoon in the whole committee. I was gratified that they wrote the other day in the subcommittee but I just would like to have your support on this, on the Skorcroft Commission and on particularly this feature now of the MX missile. I do believe that it has a deterrence we presently don't have. And while we've been building none or modernizing in no way our intercontinental ballistic missiles they've come up with 13 new types of missiles. So from the deterrence standpoint I think it is very important but as I say from the other I think the, and particularly if we show our friendship on this we've always prided ourselves in the past that at the water's edge the environmental divisions were all Americans with a similar policy. I think that display of willpower and determination we're going forward will be the most important factor keeping the Soviet Union at the table and will have been to negotiate. Anna the General, do you have anything to add? Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States A brilliant scientist, dissenter and defender of human rights Andre said I did not have the right to keep silent. The bold and penetrating voice of Andre Sakharov is now in danger of being stilled not only to do all in our power to prevent him from being silenced. Members of the Congress who passed this resolution like all of you who are here are in here with us but other members of the Congress are here as supporters of this proclamation the diversity of this free voice of his people and for fulfillment of their human rights no one knows and that's why they seek to stifle dissent and that's why we must lead so today we bear witness to these truths that Andre Sakharov is a man of uncommon courage and decency we call upon the Soviet leaders to give Andre Sakharov his freedom the world needs his learning, his wisdom, his nobility and observe I'm sure you won't know why you're here and talk about NX and reality talk about the Skokrov commission report I believe that they have three very important things modernization which we badly need and deterrence and the effect that we'll have on our attempt to get some arms reduction because at the moment we don't have anything really for them to look at and wonder about why they should engage in a trade with us this I think can so I can't deal with the board to get their attention I know that some of you are very concerned about consider the vulnerability of these putting these hundred missiles in the existing silos as it is right now we have complete vulnerability with regard to our lane-based in comparison to theirs and they are invulnerable because of the hardening of their silos that nothing we've got any good with them on their silos this makes some of their silos vulnerable because this has the capacity as they have now in the 19s this has the capacity to blast their even their hardened silos at the same time however as you know in the commission it goes for continued research in our part to see what we can do about hardening the silos but I just happen to believe that it is essential from all three of the points that the commission made and I think the makeup of that commission should inspire confidence in all of us in effort I think it is vital and most important I know we're going to have our fights in the history of our country that we've been pretty good about and that is when you get to water's edge the adversary has to see it's a section that's why I would like to have this be not just a sweep William Redquist EPA administrative designate William Ruckelshaus and Miss Kathy Ruckelshaus I would like to meet I, William D. Ruckelshaus I, William D.
