 your work so you can get out of town. Those of us who are working to prepare the president's budget for your time and consideration also wish that you success and getting out of town so we can get back to that particular effort. As the president indicated it's imperative that we have an increase in the debt ceiling by Wednesday so that we won't default and secondly that we get a continuing resolution by Thursday so we won't shut down. The president said yesterday at lunch that there were shut down that he just had to go back to the ranch. We also need Grand Rudman Hollings in order to address really in a significant way the budget deficit problem. I can just talk about that for a second. We made a presentation to the president last week updating our estimates of the budget deficit in 1986 and 1987 and according to our figures the deficit for 1986 looks to be above the $200 billion mark and the deficit figure for 87 looks to be almost as large so we need to address the budget deficit in a coordinated way that commits the president and the Congress to lowering that budget deficit over a period of time. As you know we have a few projects with the particular legislation and we're well aware of how hard the companies that work fully and Mr. Domenici and others have worked very very hard in trying to reach an agreement to a lot of others and we're encouraged by that. Our three major concerns with Grand Rudman Hollings are first the size of the sequester as you will and defense as you will all remember the president proposed a budget for defense for 86 of $322 billion in budget authority. Later agreed in the congressional budget resolution to a figure of 2302. The House has 292.4 in its appropriations measure and in its continuing resolution so if you average that you get a lower figure and we are looking if you have a $10 billion hit on defense and a 2.5 to 1 VA to outlay ratio we're looking at something like a 283 number down from 322 so obviously we are concerned we need to defense flexibility so that within that figure whatever it is there will be opportunities for the president of the second law of defense to maximize our international security like transferring resources within reason. The last third concern we have dates I mentioned that to Bob back with the other night the same people that are preparing budget for the president would also be asked to prepare sequester orders at the end of January and it's just about an impossibility. I sometimes wake up at night with a sweat thinking that I'm going to be carried away in handcuffs because we can't do the job. We'd appreciate perhaps slipping those dates by one month for the sequester making it a six month sequester instead of a seven month sequester and I think we could meet the meet those days but it would be almost impossible for us to meet the sequester requirements at the same time we produce for the president. The budget let me mention the continuing resolution as the president said it's very important that the total remain within the contours of the congressional budget resolution. Second. This is my third daughter, Jihan. This is my wife, Zane. Nice to see you. If you and I get a picture taken here, then why don't we have a family coming in? And she does what they all do at that age. They only see the camera. Thank you. Family portrait. A little more of that one. There you go. Okay. In the red, can you come out this way? I can't see your face there. Thank you. I don't know about whether you're tired of jelly beans. No, I'm not. There's a jar in here that you can see about jelly beans. Kevin, would you like to have one of the children's pictures? Come on. And then just because they like the attempt at that, they just pick things up before they get them, maybe. That's what's really in the jelly beans. Damn. One. One. Don't think he's ready for that. Well, all the best to you. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas and happy new year. That's the same to you. Same to you. Thank you. Would you take us to a cook like that? Look.

Can you say anything about it? Well... He's not wanting to be left out. Thank you. Well, thank you for doing this. What happened? You too. Thank you. You're the best too. Let me take a photo. She gets to shake it. Right. Remember Bill. You always get to take a photo. A little bit. Yeah, okay, that'll be fine. You don't have to just kind of move over like that. Okay. Okay.
