 Two weeks later, right? Yeah, two weeks later, right? Yeah, two weeks later, right? Yeah, right. 37, and I appreciate all the help you've been over the other immigration bill and... Thank you. ...the little souvenirs here. Thank you very much. Just a few minutes to our... That's it. ...and over. Bye, sir. Hi, how are you? So nice to see you. What year are you at? This is upper. One more year to go. Ah, junior. I've always remembered from when I was a kid, here's a graduation that always used. He would address the graduating class and say, today you know more than you had ever known before or than you would ever know again. That's it. Thank you. I know it's not going to be easy in view of the sanctions, and I will probably have to explain to the president both of that it is the law of the land and it's decided by others to prevent it, and so we will have to enforce it. I'm the president of the United States and the vice president. Thank you all, and welcome to the White House. It's a pleasure to have you here, Justice. And play begins. Thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure to have you here, Justice. And play began in 1962 with Gil Hodges, Roger Craig, Gus Bell, Don Zimmer, and Marvin Thornberry leading the way. It was about a baseball rookie and his know-it-all manager. He had a lot of problems with him. But a crucial game in the pennant race tied up in the bottom of what a distance J. Davy Johnson went, led by all stars Gary Carter, who incidentally... Keith Hernandez, Darryl Strawberry. Team 26, World Series. I waited until 1952 to pitch the games. Was in a movie. And I had an edge on all of you here in the sense that I had the script in advance, so I knew it was going to come out. Are you going to give Congress the facts about Iran? Or are you going to stonewall like the Democrats charge? Never talk about a no-hitter till it's over. Are you going to lay out the facts? Are you rewarding terrorists? You're a nice man. Let us go ahead. The rest of the shoes. The rest of the shoes again. That was it. I wish I don't like what some of them were doing today. Yeah, that was the last time we would have been around to refute it. You wouldn't have done that. Not me. No, not at all. No, not at all. That's the beauty of having a party. Every column that somebody doesn't like, you can always say, I know how you feel. Talk to Bob Novak about that one. We're missing the Chief. He's on the phone. What are you doing, Mr. President? Well, I know you've traveled far, but I believe that our meeting brings us closer to overcoming one of the most important issues in the world. We're going to bring us closer to overcoming one of the most serious challenges our country faces. And as you know by now, as I know you've been hearing from others, we're waging a battle against an enemy as insidious as any in our history. Illegal drugs have infiltrated our schools, invaded our factories, are terrorizing our citizens and undercutting our institutions. I'm encouraged with the progress that we've made since we began five years ago, but there's still a lot to do. Yesterday, I know Don Riga described to you the six goals of our National Crusade to lead us toward a drug-free America, not called for a sustained relentless effort by every segment of society. We mean to free the user from drugs and to prevent others from becoming users. I believe the American people are willing to make it clear that illegal drug use will no longer be tolerated and are ready to support our fight to rid America of this deeply disrupted and corrosive evil. If this battle is to be won and it must be, each and every one of us has to make a stand and get involved. Leadership and commitment must be evident not only in the White House and state houses but also in Congress, in the pulpit, in the union hall in our schools, in the media and yet by you, our ambassadors who represent us around the world. You know all too well that drug abuse is not just an American problem. It's a critical worldwide problem. Internationally, the narco-traffickers endanger our national security by weakening the authority of friendly governance and spewing a trail of terrorism, violence, and corruption. We've seen tragic evidence of that here in the western hemisphere. We've seen recent times. We're starting to make some encouraging progress. The nations of the world are becoming aware of the danger to their own societies and many of them are now taking strong action against the drug traffic or overcoming what for many years were said to be insurmountable cultural, political, and logistical obstacles. There's increased cooperation between nations and a greater sense of urgency by the international community. Many of you have been at the forefront of this change and I recognize the dangers you face and I'm proud of the work that you've done. We have to build on that progress and we must convey to the rest of the world a sense of our own commitment to win this battle against drugs so I'm asking you to take our message back with you. The leaders of the various nations I'm sending a personal message through with you. We will not tolerate the use or the supply of illegal drugs any place, any time. We mean to have a drug-free country and we mean business and I ask each of you to ensure that the fight against illegal drugs is a priority of your mission. Let there be no doubt that the priority is real. We'll be doing our part here at home and I hope that you'll seek every opportunity to give visibility to U.S. anti-drug efforts. I know that as other countries realize the extent of our activities they'll also find it easier to take the right states to fight drugs. Finally we must offer a helping hand. Although each country has the responsibility both to its own people and as international citizens to eradicate this evil within its own boundaries no one country can win this battle alone. We want all nations to join with us in this and make it a global crusade. When we stand together united and committed to this cause I think we represent a powerful force for humanity. What happens will be no sanctuary on earth for those who are pilfering human dignity and pandering despair. So I'm counting on all of you. I'm looking forward to hearing your views now but maybe you've heard enough from all of us at this time. The President is it true that you authorized sending of military supplies to Iran? I'm not supposed to take questions but I will answer that one. Sam, at 8 o'clock tonight tune in and you'll hear all. But you've been worried about the safety of the hostages when this story has been discussed why do you think it's possible for you to speak out at this time? Because you've all made it necessary for me to speak out at this time because I've never heard such dissemination of misinformation since I've been here as it's been going on in the last several days. Will you listen in tonight and I'll correct everybody. Will you be able to assure the American people then tonight that you did not make a deal for the hostages? I'm not going to give anything away that I'm going to say tonight then you won't have to tune in. Tune in and hear it all. Mr. President, do you still consider Iran to be a prime sponsor of international terrorism? Tune in tonight. Thank you. Sir, do you think that a mantra tonight was used in a drug program? What? A mongoose. One of these countries there is suggesting to use a mongoose to try to sniff out drugs. Nope. Talk to you later. Cobra and the mongoose. Cobra and the mongoose. Just before you start, someone once asked Sam what he'd do if he couldn't be on television. He said he'd go door to door. Mr. President, this group around the table of our ambassadors, your ambassadors in the respective countries are the people on the firing line as far as dealing with the international dimensions of the problem are concerned. And they all have been working hard on it and I think it's fair to say that bringing together and having this conference will stimulate them to do more. It's brought out a number of ideas that I think will be helpful. So it's part of an ongoing effort. Naturally, an idea that always comes to people when they sit around and decide what should be done is something for you to do. But what they would like as a kind of umbrella, you might say for their own work now is a message that goes from you to your counterpart in each country that calls attention to your own concern and Nancy's concern about this problem, your determination to work on it, the fact that you've had our ambassador here and others in other countries to provide information and get ideas and so on and in general to get their attention and underneath that umbrella then our ambassador's feel they will be able to make their efforts even more effective than they have been. We think also it's a way and you might at least with some countries work this in to in a sense raise the stature of this issue. In some countries it is regarded as essentially a police issue and so people engage in law enforcement and interdiction efforts and things like that we'll meet and talk about it but our ambassador from some body European countries posted out some place to dirty his or her hands with it is a little tough so Dean Hinton in fact was suggesting that maybe we let people know that our ambassadors have as one of their primary charges one of the reasons they're there to do something about this and maybe if they did likewise would help the general ever but they have some thoughts
