 How are you all? Please sit down. Have a small talk or look at each other for a minute while the press is in. Please make sure. Hi Bill. We started here. How is it going to be? Incredible. Stable. Thank you very much. We read. Some of them are spectacular. It's a bit of an accident. Noah? Yes. Mr. President, Soviet leader Gorbachev has said again that you're trying to stir up hatred in the Soviet Union and that by trying to militarize space you could doom the arms clause. What's your response to that, sir? The press is that there's a press conference tonight and let's just talk about it then. I'll be there. Do you want to tell us anything about what you're doing with this stuff with these gentlemen, sir? Let's go. Saving everything for tonight. Let's go. Wait a minute. These guys are now more than 750. Well, Dave, thanks for dropping by. All of you thank you all very much for what you're doing. You're fully forth. I think we all over the American people support a strong defense program. But they've been bombarded with press reports that waste into these assets. Such things as $436 hammers. The first error in that is, drop the S, it was a $436 hammer. It was in a bill or a contract and an alert individual in the Naval Department, the Naval Department, found it immediately. It was never bought. And I think you've been buying tens of thousands of hammers at between $6,000 and $8,000. $80,000 last year. $80,000. An average of $7,000. That's right. And so. Very, very, very valuable. There are more stories than the same and the result is that we've got a credibility problem. We're trying to convince the American people of what has been going forward in the defense bill done so. I'm counting on all of you to turn the situation around. We have a historic opportunity, I think, to do that. But also where you find changes that you believe in, your best thinking could be made that would improve our situation and make us even more efficient. We want to hear from that. You have a tough road ahead in the Department of Defense and the JCS organization and the chain of command. All of these things are critical to our national security. I hope you'll stay on schedule and reach the consensus that we need to reunite the Congress, the Defense Department, and the American people behind this defense program. I have to tell you one thing. Of all the things that you can be proud of in this job that I've got, nothing has ever made me more proud of the young men and women who are in uniform in our military today. But that's enough for me, Dave. Why don't you tell me what you think? Well, Mr. President, thank you very much. Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning, Mr. President. Good morning, Mr. President. Thank you very much. Hello, there. Hello, there. Mr. Locke. Yes, sir. And Mr. Williams, thank you very much. Hello, there. Would you and I have one in front of the fireplace for a picture, and then you would join us after. We'll have one for this, and we'll have a pretty picture of the three of you. Thank you, Mr. President. We'll exchange our papers over here. Please, to welcome you. Representing on the table. Thank you, Mr. President. I want to bring you warm greetings from the Prime Minister, Mr. Locke. Mr. Locke, please return mine. I mean, you have a greeting in February, and George Schultz was very pleased with his visit there. Yes, yes, yes. I think that went very well. As I'm very happy with it anyway. All right. Well, I think I would give you all a load. Is that all right? There's yours. And now would you come in and join us. I'll be nicer with you in a minute. Well, we're very glad to be here. It's the most important country in the world for you, and it's a great honor for me to come here and work with your administration. Well, we're pleased to have you. You know, at our ranch in California, I have puzzled many, many people. I have a little present from Australia, and as they turn in the gate, they start heading toward the ranch house. One tree is a yellow and black sign with a picture of a kangaroo, and it says, be careful, it's a kangaroo crossing. One of those things from the right. Yes, yes. And there it was for a while. Someone will say, as they did just a few weeks ago, you really have some kangaroos. And I say, no, just a sign. It was my present, one of our previous ambassadors. I see him. That's a good sign. Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you. Mr. President, a bastard of the Dominican Republic? Yes, Mr. Ambassador. He's the only one for me. We used to have him. Mr. President, hello there. How are you? Hello there. How are you? We've always been able to look at the cameras. You and I will go over and have a picture taken there, change our papers, and then we'll have the family come in with a picture. Let's see. Well, now we can, and we had a very fun visit with your President here, and they say, please give me my warmest regards when you have the opportunity. We know you've had some economic problems, difficulties, but we admire the way you're handling them. Yes. Well, you have been in support of the Dominican democracy. Yes, you shall. Now, with you. Mr. President, yes. Thank you. It's my beer. Thank you. All right. Welcome. I hope you'll be very close and happy. All right. Enjoy it, because I can tell you an experience of being a president. Thank you. President Ambassador Belize. How do you do? Pleasure, sir. And Mrs. Heing. Pleasure to meet you. And this is Dr. Gash. Hello there. And son, Hobart. Hello. You and I will order a photo of your station and a fireplace, and then after that, we'll have a photo of you. All right. Here's this one of the model democracies I'm pleased with the relationship that the two countries have. You're proud to have a relationship with that thought of you. Thank you. I've got your family. I hope you'll all be happy. Mr. Costa Rica. Mr. Ambassador. Mr. President, and the Ambassador will present his children. This is my oldest daughter, Ania. Second daughter, Laura. My youngest son, Anthony. My oldest son, Anthony. Thanks to you. I'm my son-in-law, Roberto. Nice to meet you. I'm pleased to have you here and you and I will take a photo of the fireplace. And then after we do that, all of you come in for a picture. And we exchange our papers over the door cases. And then we exchange our papers. Yes. I'm very pleased to see that you're covering my music. Well, do you have powers for your future? Well, I feel just fine. I really do. I appreciate that. Incidentally, if you have an opportunity to give my greetings to you, to President Monet, if you have a little bit of a problem with me, you can take this out there. We would appreciate it very much. I should look into that. Naturally, we're looking forward to the same kind of support that you gave us this year. Well, we're having some problems and we're not budget-wise. But I'll look into it. How do you take it out in the carava? Well, I will look into it in front of you. I will look into it in front of you. No worries. Would you all come in here? We'll have a group picture. The ladies in the aspirin. Middle here. I want to write. Could I have the two of you or one of you come over here? Good. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well, welcome. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I think we dressed as if we knew we were going to meet. I think we dressed as if we knew we were going to meet. Well... And Mrs. Wicker. Yes, hello. And some doll. Well, you and I will go over to the front of the fireplace and have a picture taken, in June. Here first in 1965 and three years there and five and a half in New York. Then I had 12 years in Dublin. And your family was with you here living in America? Yes. Yes, and they went to school there as well. I won't have to tell you that the Americans have a warm spot in the country, Ireland and especially Americans like myself. Indeed. I had the pleasure of shaking your hand when you were in Ireland last year. But you had a lot of hands to shake. Yes. Well... This is my letter of credence and the letter of the call of my predecessor on my remarks. I know. Would you come in and join us? Right whichever side you like. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you Mr. President. Thank you. Right. Mr. President, the Ambassador's son came all the way today just for the ceremony. And surprised his father. I'm trying to give him to pay for a picture. Well, I've been an admirer for you sir for about 11 years. Thanks to him. Now that I've seen my factors have worked. Well, thank you very much. We're pleased to have you over here. I have to go back to my but I know a lot about yourself because one of my good friends is Adam Banks who worked as a speech therapist. So, Karen and I also in London have him as a guest. We've had a lot about you. Thank you.
