 I'd like to present you with this. This is from our football team and everyone there says hi. Well, thank you very much. And they'd like to invite you to the Army Navy game. You know, I've had to miss an awful lot of things because of this terrorist situation. I don't think that security rules too often go into a game. I was looking forward to throwing the ball out of the World Series and doing all sorts of things. And you're the first? I'm the first. Shoot? Right. You get it. Well, I have to tell you, I played football eight years myself and I was in the same situation. How'd it go? In fact, I really felt when I graduated that it should have been at least another year of football. I love it too. I like playing out there. I'm having a good time. It's all worth it, you know, not graduating. It really is. Well, listen, will you give my very best to all of them and thank them very much? Or at least tell them I shall be very proud of you, just to have it to display. Thank you, sir, for having me here. Well, it's a great pleasure to have you here. What is it you've so far this season you've been doing about 130 yards a game? Yes, sir. I read all about your situation there. You did right. You got a family shot? Oh, yes, well, me. Thank you, sir. It was a great experience last year. It was a great tradition. They were really the poor guys. I was talking about that at the time. At least set a record for me. One thousand thirty-five hands. That's right. Up until then the Air Force Academy had had that rhythm with about 913. Oh, yes. Now listen, you may get into a spot, all this football where you find yourself with a lot of hands to shake. Give him a little secret here. I won't give you any tips on football. They're way in there and then no one can suddenly be crushing you. Thank you, sir. Pleasure to see you. Thank you, sir. Okay. I learned campaign. John James, head coach of University of Washington, gave you a ball and you fired at the ball. I think he gave it to one of the ladies. It was a state senator and she fired it back to you. It's amazing what forward passing has done to that football. When I was playing in college, the football was much more oval. So you really passed. There wasn't anyone that could run around like they do today. Quarterback holding in one hand. You laid the ball on your hand and it just laid there and you threw it. You couldn't throw it, obviously, as far as they could have. Well, you'd be surprised. Some guys that really were good at it. But at that time, though, you could still drop kick. That's disappeared because this ball, there's no way to make it drop and bounce straight at that other ball. We had a drop kicker in school that scored a few field goals for us. What you do is you hold the ball straight and step forward and drop it on the point and kick it as it lands. But now these balls, you wouldn't know which way it was going to bounce. So I guess that joins the display. This one's secret. This can bring passers-by members of the Illinois. Whoops. That had a pointing figure. That gives you that. It's okay. I never did that. Because you know if you just do that, you come down to the point and you think you're going to come down to that. And you know the gun. Okay, very good. I'm going to send one. I'm going to send one. You can do a little bit more. You can do. I'll be in the C. Well, please. Mr. President, I present to you here at just a minute, 14, the 14 White House Fellows of the Class of 86. Diversity, as always, is the, and diversity and excellence are the keynotes. We've got test pilots and bankers and Russian linguists and Vietnamese boat person refugee. And every other profession is represented in one way or another. And it gives me great pleasure to introduce them to you. Well, I'm very pleased to be here. This is, I guess, the sixth time now that I have met fellows, including back when I was governor as well as president. And you have already mentioned that something that I was going to refer to is so typical of this land of ours and it makes us so unique. We Americans are not an ethnic. We have come from every corner of the world and reading just the names alone indicated the great diversity that is our heritage. And I was going to mention particularly one young man here, Kien Pham, who not too long ago was out on the Pacific in a boat with his family. He and his father had rescued 35 family members from Vietnam. And their boat sank. They ended up swimming. They made it. He's here in our country. And between his graduate and his postgraduate education, he went back to Thailand to give help to refugees there. But all of you are a class and I'm looking forward to handing out these papers to you. And to welcome you here, you're going to be buried in democracy for a while. Don't get too impressed with it. No, I think, again, one of the great unique heritages of our country is that the very people who founded it said that we should always retain our skepticism. The government should not get out of line and too much in charge of the people. The people were in charge of government. But you're here with an opportunity to learn to see firsthand. And this process has led to the development of people with talents that can make a contribution to government and provide personnel for the executive branch and all. And we're very pleased and proud to have you here. So watch government and make sure that I think you'll be impressed by its proper functions and how well they're done. And the only place to retain criticism is when government tries to do something government isn't supposed to do. So let's sign them on. John Perron. Tom Bennett. Jerry Eckhardt. Karen Galliz. Charles Kubik. Jerry Lundquist. Tim Parris. Kien Phan. Very pleased to have you here. Ron Quincy. Charlene Quinn. Arnold Rackas. And Rondo. Richard Seidler. Not at all. I know how proud all of you must be here. We're very proud to have those young men here to serve with us. And to try to take good care of them. We know they'll take good care of us. Thanks, sir. And there was a question I wanted to ask you, Mr President. Which is at a time when everybody would love to be. Do you still feel that you've got to run the biggest country in the world? There's enormous burden if it resounds. Well, I haven't thought this, John, because I thought there were some things that needed to be done that maybe I could help bring them about. What time in your career, which would be a long career, a political career, did you feel that you could run for the White House, that it possibly was offered to you, and that you would win in the end? Well, I've always said that you don't decide the people tell you whether. The truth is, I'm never in all of my life, if I ran for governor, I never saw or thought I ever would see the public office. I, as a performer, as an entertainer, I always thought that you kind of pay your way, so I supported causes and candidates that I approved of. And being an entertainer, I could attract an audience and so forth, and therefore be useful at a fundraiser and things of that kind. Never did I ever dream in my wildest time that I would ever even want to be in public life. And then, at a time in our country when our party was greatly divided, a lot of friction, there was a group that came to me, and my first reply was a refusal. This group that came with me was not a partnership. And finally, they convinced me I had an obligation, I should do it, and that I could win, so I ran. And I'm doubt that after I had won and was in the office where I had thought that I was giving up a courage, which I did love in the other business, that I'd find this very dull. I found out it wasn't at all. And then some of it was leaked years in the governor's office. There were people that came and on that basis said that I should try for this. So I did. A member of the president, in fact, is impeded by the fact that he can't run more than twice for the office. He's going to meet very soon with the co-patron. Who people say has got a quarter of a century of running this country ahead of him. Do you think this differences of organization in the government creates a different views of the long-term relations between two countries? No, I don't really, although I must tell you that I have come to believe, and not for myself when this term is over. Very good then to go. But I think that this country should look very serious, that our people should, at that recent change in the constitution that's given the president two terms. And see if they don't feel that they have taken something away from democracy. After all, if the people want to continue, as they did in this country in the one time for Roosevelt, that if the people want someone to serve them, they should have the right to vote for them. It means that you could put forward an amendment against the Second Amendment? Well, if I did that, I would do it at such a time and make it very plain that I was not doing it with myself, and I was doing it for whoever would be president from now on, which would be as it was for the Republican Party. Who knows, the only time it was ever four terms, instead it was Franklin Delano and Roosevelt and Democrat. Thank you very much. Well, good to see you. Thank you. Hello there. It's nice to see you, sir. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I'm about to end my tenure as a White House Correspondent. Let us get a picture, and then we'll put you in the middle. Oh, okay. Okay. That's a pretty good picture of you. I forgot pictures. I was actually wearing that. Sure. Thank you. I'm excited about coming. I forgot the pictures. Yes. We have some nice pictures at the ranch a couple of years ago, I guess. That you may remember that you were kind enough to sign one for our parents before Christmas came. But we never shot your autograph for ourselves. We'd like to send that one back as well as a couple of pictures. Oh, I mean, very happy to. Too much of an inconvenience. See, they get in here. Okay. Only one second. It's just a bookmark. Oh, that's very kind of you. You just souvenir sitting here to get us. Thank you very much. That's very nice. May I also ask a favor? Yeah. I covered Mrs. Reagan quite a bit the last couple of years on her trip to Rome and some of her drug trips. And I'm afraid I probably won't have a chance to see her to say goodbye. But if you could remember, I'd appreciate it if you tell her thanks. I really enjoyed my experience covering her trips. I should tell her no later than tonight when she'll be going to meet in California. Great. That would be nice. You're very happy to. We've had an enjoyable time. Thank you very much. You're leaving this. I am. I hope to be in Rome. President, you won't be able to yell at you from out of the pin. On Sundays when you've never seen to hear. But thank you again. Thank you. The truth of the matter is, I don't, when I get inside the door with that helicopter out there, I then turn around others and I say, what were they asking? What were they asking? Thanks again. That's very nice. Thank you, sir. Good luck. Okay. Okay. Thanks again. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay.
