 Well, I'm going to be up on Wall Street as corporate vice-president for Drexel-Harnam-Lombair, the investment banking fund. And I'll keep all those Wall Streeters in line. We'll make sure when the good economic data comes out they say the right things about Reaganomics. She's going to help the advanced teams when they go up to New York right ahead of time to set up. Can I ask you for one more favor? Can I get a hug? Use yours. Thank you. I'll see you tonight at the Christmas party. Yes. Thanks. Thank you so much. Bye. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Thank you.

That's for me. Here. Thank you. Say hello. Why don't you come in when we get 10 bucks? Can I stand here? Can you smile? Do you want me to hold you? Your side. This is almost three. This is terrible to use. You can have a nice picture with me. In the smile, that's Pete Sousa. These are very nice pictures. Come on, Benjamin. Look over here. That's good. Benjamin. You've got to get it done. We're going to call him. I think he's a little shy. We'll not worry about that. You're not asking me where you're taking your kids. Yes, he did. That's right. He's got his tiffin on. Okay. We'll try one more. We'll put our tiffin on one more. Karen, come back here. Okay, we got it. Great. Wait one second. This young man in here is a job worker with a silver grade on it. And it's called a jellyfish. And just in case, just in case, he can't wait until he gets the general command. Here's a little... That's for you. What do you say? No. That's it. All right. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Listen, thank you all. We're sad to go. It's been a long time. We've been on a long stretch together, yes. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen. Can you say goodbye? Say thank you. Say bye. No. Okay. Bye-bye. All right. President, you know, Christy and Charlie back here. Merry Christmas. How are you? Just fine. Thank you. Oh, righty. Oh, okay. That sounds great. One more. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Amazing. A little souvenir. Thank you, sir. I wish you a happy holidays. And also thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you. And it has been since 19. I met Christy here at the White House. You brought us together. Thank you. But it hadn't been for you two. We wouldn't have been here together. And I've had the good choice of being in California, too. So... Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So... Okay. Merry, merry. Bye-bye. Good night. See me and you here? Mr. President, you're so good to do this. My daughter Belinda and Allison next door. Hello. My daughter, who you're... Hello, that's great. Good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you too. I don't know how my Gala is going to be but... Can you give us some help? Can you put up a little ring for somebody other side. Let's get you on the plate. It's your family picture. Oh, that would be lovely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That would be lovely. Oh, isn't that sweet? You know, I think we've had more discussions in Ireland than we have on many, many other issues. Isn't that true? I'd like to remember one half the Irish jokes or even one ten. Or maybe even one. That you tell and could learn until a half as well. I might be a hit over there. There's one I haven't told you about. A little tad that came to this country's first day in New York. He started out against the light across the street and a cop grabbed him and back to the curb and he says, where do you think you're going? He said, we're not simply trying to get to the other side of the street over in that New York cop who had that Irish bro being one himself. He said, well now that. He says, let me tell you. He says, you wait until the light turns green and then you go to the other side of the street. He says, would the light turn sweet? Would the light turn orange for just a few seconds as it does? And then green. He started out and he got out about six feet and turned back to the cop and he said, don't give them damn promise. There's much time. Do that. What? What? What? The night department, which they got to be official. Hi John. Yes, we have. Do you believe it? Yes. They've all told me they're coming to Ireland. They'll help tourism. That doesn't make any sense. That doesn't make any sense. But you know, I want to have you as a guest. You told me that house is great, so we'll come and enjoy it with me. Yes. I hope that the day will come. We'll see you soon. Change. Your untiring effort to save the government billions of dollars by implementing a successful Medicare hospital reimbursement system is outstanding. Americans can thank you also for your leadership in addressing the eighth problem. You were also the driving force in mobilizing the business community to improve the lives of disabled Americans through high technology. And this public-private partnership is a tremendous success. Now you're soon to be off on another difficult assignment, Ambassador to Ireland. It's a place special to both of us, and unfortunately it's a rather troubled island. Your assignment there now is important particularly since the recent Anglo-Irish agreement on Northern Ireland. That you will be as you've always been, an eloquent spokesman for peace and justice there. And I think probably the most appropriate way to wind up my remarks is to turn to the land of our four bears and in their tradition say may the land may the road rise beneath your feet may the wind be always at your back and the sunshine warm upon your face and until we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of His hand. Mr. President, Mr. Vice President and friends it's a very special moment for me to share this podium with you Mr. President and the greatest honor that I have yet experienced in a new assignment at your direction and under your appointment. It has been a privilege and an honor to serve you as Secretary of Health and Human Services. I served in a very unique time I'm very proud of the record that we have accomplished there your record Mr. President because it was your leadership which actually devised our philosophy and our blueprint and I think we showed Americans our passionate while being conservative and I think that was an important message to share. Now you have given me a new assignment Mr. President and if my mother were here she'd say wasn't it nice of himself to have such a lovely party here? I'm proud of my father indeed of this moment because you and I have perhaps discussed Ireland more than we have discussed many other subjects and I will never bring to the Irish your gift of storytelling but I will bring to them your interest in the resurgence of Ireland its economic development the concern for the people of Ireland as our friends and allies and indeed our relatives, our kin I feel very strongly that you send me to Ireland at a unique moment a very historic time a time of hope for reconciliation I feel very strongly Mr. President that the Anglo-Irish Accord would not have actually then negotiated had you not been prodding both sides and had you not had such a winning and effective forceful relationship with Margaret Thatcher whom I know you respect very much and I know respects you and her agreement to the Irish Accord the Anglo-Irish Accord was pivotal to the success of Ireland's early founding and to its future and to its future progress I hope to play a role on the international scene in support of many of your other initiatives I truly believe in your leadership in terms of our Star Wars initiative and its potential for peace and I will carry to the Irish forum my own concerns and our shared concerns of violence in Northern Ireland and for the well-being of the Irish people but I will also bring to them your views on international issues because we are of one world and we are one people and I truly believe Mr. President that your greatest accomplishment will come in the international forum as a peacemaker a unique peacemaker for our time and to be part of that pleases me beyond anything to say I have had a marvelous experience almost three years at Health and Human Services I expect the next experience to be equally enriching and even more challenging I only wish my mother were here today because for all the years in Congress she said Margaret what are you in Congress doing for Ireland I will say mother I'm coming home to Ireland and I'm going to take America with me I had thought about some of those old fashioned classes bearing the crest and then I thought in Ireland we know that don't we I have to convince some of our friends Mr. President these are some of the Republicans who have elected me for years and years and special friends I will move to Ireland Mr. President thank you 39 I'm holding yes I was freaking all morning and then all of a sudden the place warmed up and now I know why wait until February 6th thank you very much this is a surprise I thought I was having one to pull I'm going to get over to good

season always felt cheated well growing up that used to happen I didn't get anything for your birthday but I got a few for Christmas so I'd always say Mr. Gavin I heard we're royalty in England have their birthdays in the middle of the summer period so it could be celebrated I thought there's the right idea I could do that but I was persuaded by my family so I've always lured with the summer 21st but one final note you know how you are when you're a kid you look to see who else has your birthday born on the same day of the year that you were I hate to tell you mine Joseph Stalin oh well I got a four year old who's having a birthday tomorrow so she missed you by 35 or 40 years but that hadn't saved me any money I've got it now I can relax now again thank you one and all thank you one thing
