 You know, we're going to write this up and see if we can get the money out of the lockpile. We're going to write this up and see if we can get the money out of the lockpile. We're going to write this up and see if we can get the money out of the lockpile. We're going to write this up and see if we can get the money out of the lockpile. Come on in next time, you've got to let the vice president get in on that. I'm going to open by reciting the shooting at the end of your... Yeah. Tell us how Nancy's doing. The doctors were just aghast, but to the other half of this, they've never seen them recover all day long, so far ahead of schedule. That's great. Day after the operation, I was told there was going to be an operation. And so Nancy's getting just fine from there. That's great. There was great courage the other way. The other was, really, it would be a blow to anyone, but your relationship with them would usually be worse. But that's what we learned about it. Don't sue them. I am the one who had to break the news. Listen, maybe we should hope that George will have the phone and get here any minute. Probably Gorbachev or someone. Tell him you're calling back. We're going home. Well, we've got a big week ahead of us, and I'd like to begin by... I always get him mixed up with that other baker. I just thought that maybe Howard could give us a report on the meetings that he and Jim Miller and Frank Carlucci had been having with several of you on the Hill in order to reach a budget agreement. Mr. President, let me repeat what I told you earlier in the day. It's amazing, really, that the intensity of desire to get an agreement seems to go down in inverse ratio to the Dow Jones going up. And the sense of emergency, the sense of absolute necessity to get something done has just slipped. It just isn't there as it was when we began this at the beginning of last week. The meetings are still underway, and we'll convene again at 11 o'clock today and continue negotiations. I guess that negotiations are as remarkable for what they have not done as for what they have. And what I mean by that is while many in the press and a lot of people in general have speculated that there would be great and big proposals for new taxes, the truth of the matter is there has been no serious discussion of significant taxes beyond those revenues that were included in your budget plus a few odds and ends that Democrats have put on the table. But there have been no big-ticket tax items that have been seriously discussed with that group. So the first thing I'd say in that regard is that I'm reassured and I hope the group here will be reassured that there has not been any big move so far to try to get massive tax increases for any scheme. Good morning. Good afternoon. Here she is. There's a premise, of course. Mr. President, it's good to be back. Good to have you back. Are you back? I'm asking you when you serve the Senate. I'm honored and I do say yes. Thank you very much. It's going to be a good year. I think this year is as important as the first, you know. I'm not one of these people that's going to sit around and take a vacation. We're going to go do a lot of work. That's all right with you. Yes. I guess you've already seen it. I haven't, I've already missed it. See, I know what's there. All right. But we'll go out of there and face the madding crowd in the press with the fellow that's sitting out there. I'm sorry, I want to get back in here. I said, gee, I wish it wasn't just today. He said I'm qualified for the job because I've been pushing him to work for so many years. And it'll be a better picture if you stand the President's left while he's speaking. And then you just trade places. Are you ready? Are you ready? I saw Robert in Marlon. It's a good print. She would give the Labor Department decisive and forceful leadership, didn't she? Please, you're wondering, that's my way of sliding into the story. It's about a lemon-squeezing contest for the state fair. The first man got up and he was wrong. He picked up the lemon-squeezed and squeezed about 80% of the juice. Crowd. State association of statisticians. I've come here, though. I've found some statistics on 59 months of uninterrupted expansion. On November 6, our expansion to the history books is the longest peace time expansion on land. There's been among those tracking 80% of new jobs of full-time. In short, these are jobs that are better paid, no challenging, and more rewarding. This has been an expansion for all the seasons of all Americans. For example, the last five years, lack of budget is shown for twice as fast as fighting them. Since 1982, the real income of black families has grown almost 40% faster than the project. And this year, the leaders and senate conductors productivity and production have grown strongly in the last year. This is important because experts are on the rise. In fact, since I was born in the second term, I've told you in talks about how to reduce our nation's budget We'll be building on what we did last year when we cut the deficit by 73 billion dollars. And it won't prove what it was in 1986. Because last week, we were trying to find a front page story on the Parallel Economic Cures. We've noted that new taxation could, as the article said, because there has been a lot said about the twin deficits by just trade. But the possible cure may be worse than the disease. On the trade front, there are those who feel now is the time to close the door and put down the shoulders of fairness and gifts for the victims. We move to sound the budget deficit preparing America for a new future. The door between government and the private sector but this is a record breaker. Let me illustrate. Congress first created the government This is indeed a very special privilege which I cherish which makes me feel both very proud and humble. Hardworking women and men to have the honor confirmed to be Secretary of Labor will be to have a special bond with each of these American workers to be able to assist them is a singular responsibility because it is in our daily will be comment about my being a woman. But one of my predecessors Francis Perkins the first woman to serve and that was before blue jeans so I have no reason to feel disadvantaged at all. Mr. President thank you again for asking me to join your cabinet as Secretary of Labor. This is a great honor and an extraordinary opportunity for service. I will do my best to follow its obligations. Thank you. This is the place of this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is We had no other choice. So we had to run from the crime. And all my forms were written in tiny pieces of paper. And then we sent it to the pastor. And he passed away. And he left. It just... I can't remember. Ten names on there. We had to pray out to him. The necessary translation. They paid to us very angry. And said, what have you done? Why do you completely... American president is our enemy? We answered, if our government reverberates American president, why shouldn't we do it? Ha ha ha ha. And how? The news forgot. These were our own people. Spoiled. Is this all?
