 I'm reminded of the story about a very crappy, very old woman who came before the church. He said, Your Honor, I'd like a divorce from my husband. How old are you, the judge asked? I'm 92, Your Honor. My husband is 94. How long have you been married? Your Honor, in March it will be 74 years. Do you know we have six children, 23 grandchildren, and 27 great-grandchildren? Well, the judge was rather amazed by all this than said, Well, man, why on earth would you want to get a divorce now? She said, Your Honor, as far as I'm concerned, enough is enough. That's not how I feel. My friends, it is time. And I'm delighted as one of my last acts as president to bestow the citizens' medal of 38 deserving Americans. And all of you, whether you've been in government service or served your country as intellectual as spiritual, lightening rods for the month we've seen in our great tradition, are indeed deserving. And I particularly like to thank a man of great courage who is truly an inspiration to us all and to all Americans, our outgoing press secretary, Jim Brady. One of the great privileges in our society are the privilege to serve the public good and public service. These days, all these representatives of our time in Washington suggest I came here to abolish the federal government. I never had such a goal for the federal government. I just believed it was too often unresponsive to the world beyond the deltway and that some of this personnel were too interested in offering the American people instruction instead of taking their instructions from the American people. It was one of my primary goals to restore public confidence in the government and the process of governing. And if I was successful, it was due in a large measure to many of you in this room who set about your task with an understanding that we're here to serve, not to rule, that we're all employees of the American people. And as you leave, I think you've all gotten a pretty good job recommendation, not from me, but from America. So I thank you all and thank God bless you, and now it's my pleasure to present for that. David Andrew. Mr. President, thank you for Richard Armitage. I suppose I should open it before you find out which way it opens. I didn't do it the first time today. Our home pep and stitches taken out last night. Arthur B. Culverhouse Jr. and Duberstein. I think we should commit a suicide. I should be very formal and say very good waters in here. And believe me, no one has been as deserved more than you have for all of your service. Thank you. None of us will ever forget you. None of us for a long, long time. Congratulations. Mr. President. Thank you, sir. That's like a regular chip off the old block. Bigger chip? Am I chief of staff, Commander Marchini? Good to see you, sir. Thank you for everything you've done. Thank you. Thank you. I said that wrong. I meant to say a regular block off the old chip. That's the IA man, do you remember? What happened? The years ago. We got that CIA man. Oh, he is. He had to sedate the man and keep him quiet so he wouldn't jump out of the oven. For him and safe. Well, thank you for that, Mr. President. That was quite a story. Thank you. I want to be proud of it. Thank you. Congratulations. Congratulations. Thank you for everything. Thank you.
