 Let me present Frank Damondi. Hello there. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Well, you're nice to see five daughters, zero. My daughter, Maureen. You were a stalwart in making it. Jane. Nice to see you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President, Bill Damondi. Frank Son, how are you, sir? Just fine. Thank you. Mr. President, Frank Damondi Jr. Nice to meet you. Thank you. Now we can get the family photo, I think, for everybody to get it. Grouping right there. Good. That'll do it. Thank you. My daughter, Maureen, has spoken about how influential he was. Her winding up was second in command of the Republican National Committee. Yes. One of his accounts of all these years of Republican and Republican Chairman Delaware has been to change the party's symbol to the buffalo. For the elephant, at least for one day, if not for a little bit longer than that. And we met with a lot of problems with Governor DePont while he was Governor. He rebuked it several times. At every convention, mind you. But we're going to try it one more time this coming weekend. Well, you know, it's very funny where the two symbols did come from. It was a cartoonist named Nast. It was a paper in New York that did a ridiculous false story about the animals escaping in Central Park and so forth. They needed a cartoon and he had the donkeys running here and so forth and the elephant over there. And the next thing you know, it just got picked up with the cartoons. They became symbols. Well, listen, you have to hear it. Susan, here's your visitor. Thank you. Thank you for the key ring. Thank you, see you later. Thank you. I was going to say, you do wear two bars. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Very, very nice. Whether it's buffalo or whether it's elephant, I'm glad you're the State Chairman there. Because we're going to have to keep those two animals as long as they're as simple as they are. Thank you. Our national chairman is going to visit us and we hope with beach Delaware next weekend for a state convention. That's great. We're looking forward to it. Well, thank you for having us. Well, thank you. Nice meeting you, sir. Nice to meet you. Pleased to see you. Thank you very much. Pleasure. I'm going to start wearing tie-wars. Thank you. Bye now. How do you do? Nice to see you. Yes, Mr. President Eric Schar and the President. Thank you very much. Mr. President, Jack Rommel, sports chairman. Mr. President, I can coach Frank Hansen. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Thank you. Good to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Very nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you. Pleased to meet you. We were having a little cross-the-boarder socializing here with the Prime Minister of Canada. Incidentally, while they're getting in, you can be getting them in if you want to. Oh, yes, I just wanted to make sure we're lined up on the agenda. If everybody could turn slightly sideways and squish in the cluster. Here's the story of his analogy. He appears to be in a crowd of people. There was a thing called the Prime Minister of Canada. That's what the Prime Minister said. And zeroing in particular. He said, well, couldn't you have to let it run so quickly? He said, yes. And he said, hockey. No! He said, no. He said, no. I want to suggest a bet to the President. I don't know for a day. I'll endorse a game. Mr. President, I'd like to start off by giving you this hockey stick to keep in memory of the state of our hockey team. And we'd also like you to, if you wouldn't mind, sign this stick which we'd like to bring back to our school. Your mental mind doesn't matter. And we thought that spot might be good for you. All right. You want to keep it all blue? All right, let's use the black one. We'll share the president and stick it out. Make sure not to turn it off. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President, you can't use your hockey stick without hockey shirt. Yeah. If you can hold that picture. Mr. President, the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie would like to give you this. The token of their esteem for you as our President, Commander-in-Chief. The university and the community are very close together. Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. We're proud to keep you there. Well, thank you very much. But I keep that big eye on you to be able to let the Congress out. Thank you very much. Well, let's thank you all. Congratulations again. Thank you very much. Well, it's a great thrill for these young men. It was just a great long season and they've worked very hard for this honor. And you've just capped off a tremendous stick for these boys. We want to thank you, Canadian American and all for this, for your moment in time. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's with a pleasure I present some individuals from Maine today. Thank you for doing this again with us. Well, Governor, pleased to do it. Appreciate it. Thanks very much for being here. It's a great tradition. Thank you very much. Well, thank you for having us again. We appreciate it. Thank you. This is Charlie Karen, the one who's presenting the salmon that he caught. How big was the one that got away? This is the first fresh salmon this year in the United States and Canada. So it's really a pleasure and privilege to give it to you. Listen, I think this is quite a tradition. I like it very much. It's just great. Eight and a half pounds. How are we doing? We need to turn it? We take it off the... No, I think we just need to turn sideways. Why don't we turn it again sideways? There we go. Let's get a little groove in there. No, it is. That's it. Oh, it produces the same reaction. I'm pleased to meet Mr. President. Good luck to you and Moscow. Thank you very much. Why don't we all get a group picture? I understand that behind those accessible land is a very intelligent young lady. One of the ladies in the United States named the ties these flies have presented this approach to you, Mr. President. Well, thank you very much. Oh, all right. There we go. Yeah, get him a little closer. Can you move in closer? Yeah. Hold him up a little higher. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I'm going to give it to you. I didn't have to get it first. Thank you very much. Mr. President, thank you very much. Yeah, thank you. Appreciate it. Mr. President, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Mr. President, who's going to take that then? For the first race, for the first man, I've never known that before. Oh, my God. And I made the mistake of telling them the fellow that had caught the first fish when he came in here with it, and his was about like this. I think they probably was very tactful. Okay, number four is national. Mrs. Gladys Harrington? Well, Mrs. Harrington. Hello. How are you? How are you? Dr. Jerry Nam. This is Lynette Bright. Hello, sir. Mr. Pat Byrne. Well, you did it. You did it. Thank you. This is Susan Saranson. Hello, Lynette. Good to meet you. How are you? Thank you. Father O'Connor. Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you. Mr. President. Congressman Tony Hall. Hi, Mr. President. Congressman Carlos Moorhead. Hi, Mr. President. Congressman Frank Wall. Mr. President, how are you? When I said that, that means that from now on, it's going to be, and thanks to these members of the Congress who are here today and to this, that permanently will be the first Thursday in the National Prayer Day. It'll be much easier to plan for it, too, because I know what day it's going to be. Yeah. Well, and, you know, Lynette said that he couldn't stand the duties of this office for one day if he did not know that he could call on one a stronger broker than all others. But I thought you might be interested in something. You're just a war leader. And this was evidently a prayer from a young soldier who was your tool in an out-and-shell hole in the middle of the night. Here in New York, never in the whole of my lifetime have I spoken to you. But just now I feel like sending you my greetings. You know, from childhood on, my friends told me you are not. I, but the fool, believed them. I've never contemplated your creation and yet tonight, gazing up out of my shell hole, I marvel at the shimmering stars above me and suddenly knew the cruelty of the lie. I've never contemplated your creation and yet tonight, gazing, oh, I started to read that. I've read that. Would you, my God, reach your hand out to me, I wonder. But I will tell you what you will understand. Is it not strange that light should come upon me and I see you amid this night of hell? And there's nothing else I have to say. This, though, I'm glad that I've learned to know you. At midnight, we're scheduled to attack. But you are looking on and I am not afraid. The signal, well, I guess I must be going. I've been happy with you. This more I want to say. As you well know, the fighting will be cruel and even tonight I may come knocking at your door. Although I've not been a friend to you before, still will you let me enter now when I do come. Well, I'm crying, oh God, my Lord. You see what happens to me. Tonight my eyes were opened. Farewell, my God. I'm going and I'm not likely to come back. Strange is it not, but death I fear no longer. And this was found on the body of a young Russian soldier killed in action in 1944. His name was Alexander Zeziba. Wow. Wonderful. Wonderful. Yeah. The cruel eyes. Oh, I guess you want to get the photographers in and we will make this day permissive. Mr. Radiant, this signing of this bill today and it's passed by a unanimous vote of both houses of Congress I believe is one of the most historic documents of this country and one of the most significant and as we think of the heritage of this nation I believe it's so important because it says to the people of this country and to the nations of the world that we still trust in the God of our fathers. And of course you stand in a great tradition of our first president, father of my nation George Washington who began and ended his day every day with prayer and Bible reading and you do leave a tremendous legacy to young people of the future and on behalf of the National Prayer Committee and the praying people of this country we thank you for your leadership and for your personal commitment to prayer and we would say may God continue to bless you and Mrs. Reagan and our land with the motto in God we trust we are one nation under God we appreciate you so much pray quite a bit and usually begin with a thank you for all the blessings that we still have for the National Day of Prayer and I think probably you're the most prayed for individual in the whole war on today on today I believe in an intercessionary prayer so well it's a delight and a dream come true that you've had this day and when I spoke to you about it in October and you said you would like to do this it was a great thrill now we have tried to think about this and I'm going to give you today and Mrs. Lee Harrington from Tulsa has produced that gift Mr. President the people of Tulsa over 1,000 transcribed this Bible special for you and Mrs. Reagan it's dedicated to you there are eight beautiful volumes and it has in the front of it for you we just want to give you this with our love eight volumes real leather with gold leather Genesis and Revelation now we trust that's an appropriate gift from the 100 Congress that passed this legislation and then for this year and it's signed first Mr. British signed that's so wonderful wonderful you won't see any more like it I'm sure it took over a year one year to do it thank you very much literally I have a mistake I've been listening in here I'll tell you I've still got an ambition yes prayers in this United States to accept the state of Massachusetts the first step begins with prayer except Massachusetts and so we need to let that be known so the legislators and the jurists all do it it's just the school kids who can as you have pointed out many times so maybe we can set you up this is so wonderful yes I had a man write me a letter one day that sent me running to the Bible he he wrote me a letter and said you were Governor and you had announced for Presidents and you walked by me and I thought oh what could I say and I said good morning Mr. President you left everybody and we were on television together yes yes we're enjoying the last act if you'd say some good things for the last act you don't keep the act going just fine very nice to see you sir it's good to see you how do you do nice to see you hello Mr. President good to see you Mario Diaz good to see you Zeke Montes nice to see you who is Nunez nice to see you Rita Martina hello nice to see you sir want to get a nice picture here well I know also this is the thing that I'm not sure your eyes I know this is down to our business and jobs and so forth it's an 87 over half the 600,000 jobs the minority field and word Hispanic and I think it's just wonderful what you're doing and what you're accomplishing thank you very much Mr. President we appreciate this opportunity to celebrate but Mario as you know that represents a quest by Hispanics for freedom and everything and those are the values that you espouse and those are the values that are very dear to our community the French one yes thank you very much sir have some souvenirs here thank you thank you so much with the seal on them thank you thank you very much thank you thank you thank you again thank you good to see you again live well and long thank you thank you thank you
