 Well, I'm glad you could all join, and you especially could all join for what I believe is a truly momentous occasion, sending up my budget for a fiscal year 1987, which I think makes some common sense reductions in federal spending, and it reduces the deficit by $38 billion to meet the requirements of Grand Rudman Hollings. As you know, that past Congress had a well in the last year. And it does so without reducing our commitment to the poor and the elderly, and it does so without weakening our national security. And it does so without increasing taxes to pay for more spending. So I am pleased to sign these copies of the budget for all of you in the management report which accompanies it, and I hope we can work together on this important step toward a balanced budget. And I'm not going to try to sort these out protocol around, I'm just going to hope I can get them signed straight. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you. A couple of others who are not here, but I think are lost in traffic somewhere. Right, Jim Wright says it's not in traffic. Did you invite Chip? If you have your nice remarks about the speaker, I'll be happy to convey one to him too, Mr. President. Thank you, sir. Thank you, President. Well, that's the best speech been made in 32 years I've been in the Senate. What you said about Mr. O'Neill was very, very gracious. It was a nice touch, because I think it gets us off, started on the right foot, hopefully to get the cooperation between the legislative and the executive branch and between the two parties is the only way we're going to get the job done. Thank you. Okay. Mr. President, sir, is it going to take an oil import fee to make this tax reform plan balanced out properly? I don't know. I said that this is one thing that I wouldn't even look at. The whole idea, however, is that you know that the end result must be revenue, that it does not increase the amount of money we're taking from the private sector for government in that tax reform. And this means that the discussion is going to be what are the things, tax privileges and so forth with regard to deductions that can be taken out to simplify it. And yet, still maintain the same level of revenue. So I'm willing to look at that on that basis. How do you think you'll do trying to sell that increase in the defense budget to Congress that's worried about reducing the deficit? Well, I'm most hopeful that we can, because I think we're living in a very dangerous world and we're still playing catch up. We are still far behind in both conventional and strategic weapons of the Soviet Union. Thank you all. Good morning. Before we get started, I'd like to thank you for your hospitality. You know one of the items of business that you're making, the federal government financially can fit on the sort of daily imparting on a road and historic opportunity that I think is provided by Graham Ruddman Hollings. I just get an old Bob Michaels and Strom Thurman fiscal 1987 budget. As I told them and the Democratic leaders, this is an historic budget. The cut spending is required by Graham Ruddman Hollings. He sets us on a path to a balanced budget. We've all heard some voices say it is not possible to reduce the deficit in budget for these taxes or cut defense or cut into programs for our pooling. My answer is that this budget reduces the deficit by 38 billion dollars without having any of those bad effects that can be done. And I think on our part up here, we've done what we have sent to you. We're going to work closely with you and both the House and the Senate and I'm counting on Bob Dole and Bob Michael to work together so that we have a unitedly public approach on the budget. And I'm going to ask Jim Mellor to explain in greater detail what the budget contains. Thank you, Mr. President. Before you are too. No, welcome. Nice to see you. I'm very glad to see you. Thanks very much for the time you spent. Thank you very much. You're doing far better than I could do with you. I have to say that our dear friend of ours, she was then Mrs. Robert Taylor who was a live person at the East, an actress from New York Country, gained glass and she became involved in Nancy and myself, very close friends. So I kept after her to teach me at least some, send her expression that I could use in her language, that I could say this. And it finally came down to most that she offered to me I couldn't master. And I finally could say Habanzian Strikots. I had one night in a restaurant and Nancy at that time, my wife smoked a little bit. So she took out a cigarette and there were no matches in the table. And then the waitress came. I just couldn't even think of anything. I couldn't even think of Nancy. I said, Habanzian Strikots. And I got such a flood of German back that she happened to be German. She thought I talked her language. She looked at me. That was strangely when I told her the only thing I could say. This picture. Oh, great. How are you? Just fine. I said that you would look like the youngest man on the clock. Let me hold onto those so they don't get that picture. There we go. We've seen you in a long time. I said, well done. Oh, of course. Thank you. Thank you. There's a very fine speech. Can't match the ball, so. He's a master. He is. He's the master. He still shouldn't be fine. You know, I'm not making very fast programs, but fundamental programs. There's a piece in The Times today. I was number one in, but he wrote something out of it. About Irving Brown. It's in The L.A. Times. Yeah. Some of the left-to-rights are complaining about the work that's going on. But I was up in progress in that area. I don't suggest that. I love it. Isn't that great? That's great. What do you do? Well, you release that. Go ahead. Yeah? If you release it here. Yeah. And then just cut. And try to hit it over by my foot. Then you just reel it back in. I love sports a ton of things. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Oh, it's fun. Oh, it's great. What do you do? It's when Don comes over at 9 o'clock. You're going to be here for the next one. Did somebody give the credit? I'll read you. It was 7 o'clock. Do you work here? What? I suppose the chief told you that he hit it. Yeah. Well, a fellow named Stu Spencer. Been talking with me. And I think I'm going to take him up on his offer to do a little work. I think that fell to someone that you've got a little history with. Yes. Yes. That doesn't make it sound as if you're going to be far away. I'm not going to be very... I just want to thank you for all that you've done. Well, it's been an honor. It's a pleasure. Certainly a privilege to have done something good. Yes. Well, this guy, Mr. President, has done a lot of hours late at night into the early morning. He was one of those ones that had to babysit the Senate of the House when they were going through some of these votes. And it was tedious work. Yes. He knows I'm the one that has my initials on all those phone calls. Well, I'm optimistic. I'm optimistic. I think you're right when you say this is a year of opportunity. I'm going to be around. Be very helpful. I think Don's got things. I'm going to get the technists up there. It's a good man. It's a success. Hello, Mr. President. Hi. Good to see you. I'll just turn around here and get a picture taken. Thank you. He's coming over from the steps up on the Hill for the last year. I've been quite a challenge. I'm still going to be a foreign country. I'm going to challenge you. Thank you very much. I like you. Thank you for the opportunity. All right. I hope you weren't going to hate us. He signed on for the duration now. I told him. He's going to have to stay for the duration. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Hi. How are you? Happy 50th birthday. It's a type though, you know. Yes, I can see. I like it. Well, there's a bunch. Come over here and sit down and do it. I know that you've already helped author this first edition. How did you get it? You don't really look that old either. Taff and Roosevelt, the intimate letters of Archie and so forth. Yes, I've got it. I enjoyed it. I couldn't understand. It took me quite a while to understand. It's a framework. They did a beautiful job. They sure did. This is 24 hours. I was thinking, wait a minute. I know this has got to be something. How was it here in this book? It happened to be a coincidence. He was heading for Illinois the day he was born. So we just took advantage of that. Well, I think it was only a spur line that went by Tampic, Illinois. I don't think it was a main line. Mr. President, I've been doing this like that. The day he was born, it's rather funny. They announced a new breed of turkey in Illinois. It was one of the worst days of the winter. It was snowing in north and south of the state. Raw, sharp, ugly winds. Dangerous, these slippery streets. Mr. President? Maybe we just want to say happy birthday. I had a little high. Say hi. They never can see anything but the cameras. There you go, Nick. Let's look up there. Nick, hey, Nick. Hey, Nick. What's up, Nick? There you go. There you go. Well, we're kind of a long time getting around to saying goodbye here. Well, it's all right. At any time, we'd watch a little headband. Be aware when you work out. Oh, well. Anyone take me for McMahon? I don't know. Maybe. Wait, wait, wait. You shouldn't be giving us presents. Just a bookmark. That keeps the papers blowing away in your desk. Thank you. This is for this young man, but he may have to wait a little bit to grow up to this. That's right. He's only got two teeth, so he'll have to wait. I think you can hold it. I think you're going to give it to Daddy. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Great pleasure. Happy birthday. Thank you. President, you remember Susie Trees? Yes, hello there. Hi, Mr. President. How are you? Good to see you. Happy birthday. Well, thank you. Hello, there. Hello, Mr. President. It's a pleasure to meet you. Well, nice to see you. And what are you doing now that you're not taking care of us? Well, I'm probably going to be going down on your trip in the spring. Coming back every now and then. Keep people honest. You know what I mean? Well, just in case. Yes? I mean, because we don't want you to forget us. It's just a little souvenir. Thank you. Throw it at somebody or something. These are key rings and maybe these are souvenirs. Thank you. Thank you very much. Happy birthday. Thank you. We had a present for you. We left in the garb. Well, it was a Chicago Bears t-shirt we brought that from Illinois. Super cool t-shirt. Super cool. I'm from Illinois too. I know. I know. I think it was quite a personal friend of Papa Bear's. Oh, really? Yes. That's his father. We had lunch next to George Allen today. Maybe we can get the Cubs in there in a couple years. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Back when I was broadcasting them. They used to do. They used to do their games. Yes. They were way up there at the top every year. They were good. Yeah. And in the World Series a couple of times. We can all do an event there in Chicago sometime. Okay. Thank you very much. Happy birthday. Thank you. We really enjoyed listening to you at the Bear Breakfast this morning too. Bear Breakfast this morning. It was very nice. Nice to meet you, sir. Goodbye. Goodbye. Mr. President, remember Stephanie Ebert? Yes. Happy birthday. How are you? Just fine thanks. Thank you. How are you? Good to see you. It's been an honor and the most exciting time of my life to work for you. Listen, I thank you for everything but I also wish you well and where you're going. Well, thank you. I'm excited. Please give Bill my best regards. I'll do it. I'll do it. Thank you so much. There's really something so you won't forget this. Oh my gosh. That's all for you. You're the one who gets to get the presents today. This is a little souvenir for you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Happy birthday. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Great to see you. Thank you. Take care of everybody in Texas. I'll do it. Take care. Thank you. Thank you. Is somebody from the director? You can look at that. I'm a user from the men and women presidential protected division. Captain Churchill. Oh, they shouldn't do this. Nobody ever can respond adequately. Oh, no need to do that. You'd like to see open this one, just to see the response on your face. They got to be careful. They did check it. We find it. We find it. We find it. We find it. They found it. We found it. That's why they found it. They found it. I'm glad they found it. They found it. I mean, they found it. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you very much. I think you found something that you don't have. I hope they did take it long enough. Oh my goodness, yay. Hey, this is wonderful. One for each. My goodness, thank you very much. My pleasure. I'll put these back in the box, and you know where these are going. Oh, I got it. Oh, that's great. I know you can figure that out with these brass plates are separate. On the back, the screws, the screws actually go through the brass plates through the wood and into the stall. Okay, listen, thank you. Just in time, too, that we haven't got enough stalls, and I've got to go out there and plan some way that we can add another stall or two. Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you very much. You don't have to. Thank you, sir. I'll go to the kitchen. No, we haven't watched them in a few days. Yep. You knew that. We knew it on our way out there. We thought it would be about another week, didn't we? Yeah, that's one step away from yesterday. Yeah. We'll let you open that last one. I think you guys get the prize for the best gift. That's it. That's pretty good. Well done. Hey, look at that. Thank you very much. Oh, that's great. We should not have done it. Listen, thank you all very much. I shall deliver to thank you for all the rest of the fellows there, then. OK.
