 You were so kind and warm in your greeting and I decided to repeat last night's speech. Welcome back and I hope you all had a good holiday. I enjoyed my visit to Capitol Hill last night and appreciated the warm reception there also. That's the best big jail night. Thank you very much. I've also sent my legislative bill to the message to the Hill Outlining and more detailed programs that I talked about last night. And there's a summary of the message before you that sets forth our program of domestic and national security initiatives. This is going to be a challenging year and I think we all know that. And I was determined as you are that it would be successful throughout our country and for us as Republicans. I think the initiatives contained in this message will ensure continued peace and prosperity as I've told you over and over again if we can just stick together as Republicans then the voters will be able to tell the difference in November. As you know I'm committed to sticking with our budget agreement that we negotiated last December but I'll be more insistent than ever that Congress straightened out the budget process mess. As I said last night, I really meant it. I will not sign another 14 pound continuing or revelatory request. But we simply must force the process to work as it was intended to in an orderly way with separate appropriations. And now before I ask about your own schedules I want to say that I'm glad that the Senate's hearings on the INF Treaty have gotten off to a fast start. George and Frank were both on the Hill testifying yesterday. Bob Dole made a strong statement before the Relations Committee as well. And I'm also pleased to note that the Senate Judiciary Committee intends to report the nomination of Judge Kennedy tomorrow and I hope he can be confrontal for the week and day recess. Thank you. That's good. I take it as gospel and I hear it as well. And why don't you and Bob and I go give us a word on the Senate and House schedules and then we'll turn to Central America for the time remaining and hear for George Sholston, Colin Powell. Well Bert, the clients will bring up Grove City. I think it will be. I think we'll have to small talk here for a few minutes. We've got two waves of press coming in. He didn't get a cramp. Somebody busted his finger. That's great. That's what we're going to discuss this morning. We'll be hearing about it very soon. What do you think about last night's encounter between Vice President Bush and Dan Rather? We're going to talk about the other encounter. Do you think he upstaged your State of the Union last night? Do you think Rather was too tough on the Vice President? Again, don't comment. Could you tell us what the Vice President said to you in confidence and help clear up some of that? No, I think he has been exactly right that that would set a precedent with regard to private conversations between Presidents and Vice Presidents and I don't think we have a right to do that. Was he present when Sholston Winder expressed their objections to this armsale? There's some confusion about that. No, he wasn't. He was not present. Thank you. Do you think it's civilized to break the arms and legs of protestors? Is that a need to still do that? I'm opposed to violence wherever it's possible to avoid violence. Thank you. Thank you. This way, please. Do I have any legal aid then? That's what I'm not supposed to be doing. Where are you going? I feel more secure. Keep him next to you. I don't know if I'm going to be mad at you. You've been right by it. I don't know if you remember. Did you see that guy? Did he look to you? I can't even remember. I'm sorry. He looked to you. I didn't see it. He looked to you. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. I can't remember. And eventually we get the money back, and then we have the people who are sitting here. We had two divisions before World War II, right after World War II, and we ended up with a brigade. It's about a close-over. Those are the largest vessels in the world you've got. At one brigade, it makes a trace that way here. All of you have many demands on your time today. I thought it was important to get together to discuss the package that I'll submit to Congress tomorrow. Provide renewed assistance to the freedom fighters and the nuclear weapons. And I know that some of you have been in touch with George and Colin and Elliott, and have provided valuable suggestions, and we've incorporated many of them in the package. In a moment, I'm going to ask George to give you a quick update on the situation in Central America as we never see it. And I'll ask Colin to describe the proposed legislation to you. It's my intention that we send up a responsible and liberal package to sustain the freedom fighters in position and thereby enable them to serve as an essential insurance policy for Sandinista compliance with their latest promises. As I said with group last week in the White House, the Sandinistas have opened the door to democracy, and we must close that door behind them and prompt them to move expeditiously to open the next door. So now, let me turn to George and Colin, and then we'll have an open discussion. George? Right here, it's quite familiar. Well, listen, why don't we get one seated over here as if we were doing that? In your view, which we've already done. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Thank you very much. Let's get a photo here. Really, I don't know what you're talking about. It's a pyramid. Isn't that right? It's a pyramid. What's that? It's a pyramid. It's a pyramid. It's a pyramid. Consider the offer. Sir, may I have one shaking? Sir, may I have one shaking? Number five, of course. Your last visit twice. Well, would you come in? Thank you. Good to see you. Yes, we've been talking to you, President. No, I didn't. Good morning, President. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Have a good day. I'm glad to see you. It's time for having chosen Iceland because, really, thanks to you, at that meeting Iceland was put on the map in the world so to speak. Well, I was going to thank you for your hosting of our gathering there and how pleasant it was. And I think it led directly to you, finally, the signing of the treaty that is going to be so much across the world this morning. Yes, we realise that now and we are very happy about it. Drake, you mentioned that this morning. When we think back now and escape the fact that we are in a situation of stepping stone between the old and the new world. We jumped from the Viking Age to one time. Yes, thank you, you're very welcome. Oh, I'm happy to hear that. So, I'll be in her steps when I come down there. Well, no, hers was not. We're going to her graduation. That is a very distinctive college and much admired and appreciated.
