 Mr. President, this is Ernie Harwell. Mr. President, it's an honor. Well... Great to see you. Well, good to see you. I come from a different era of baseball than we were. Right, that's right. But we're both announcers. Yep, yep. And I just thought that maybe... As long as you were coming in here, maybe you'd like to autograph this book. Oh, beautiful. I'd love to. Thank you, sir. I've got one. Yeah, I'm saying best wishes, Mr. President, to overcame being a sports announcer. Well... God bless you. It led to everything else being a sports announcer. Thank you, sir. Well, I remember you used to work for Wheaties. And I worked for Wheaties. I worked in Atlanta first when we used to have that whole baseball paper. Bases and cases. Remember that? That Wheaty got out at all the announcements. At the time of home run, you had to say there's another case of Wheaties. That's right. And in Atlanta, the ball players were all single, and they gave me their cases of Wheaties. Well, for heaven's sakes. And my dog got to love Wheaties. Ha, ha, ha. Oh. Well, I hope you enjoy that. Well, now let me see. Here's the... Is it simulcast, or are you doing just TV? No, I do radio. I do radio. That's George Kell and Alan Cigland do our TV. I wouldn't like it so different. Radio's a lot more fun. Sure is. You know, they say nothing happens until you say it does on the radio. That's right. Incidentally, have you ever gotten caught and did what I did on one occasion? They all break creations. Yeah, but you... Foul off a few. Yeah. Right? This is the place where I think I set a world record. Yeah, I'll foul off a few in my day. Then when the wire started again, and the first message, I started a ball on the way to the plate, thought here it was. He popped out on the first ball pitch. Right. I remember when I wanted to get home, we had him hit the first ball all the time. Well, it's good to see you. Well, thank you for your audience, sir. Appreciate that. Thank you for this. My pleasure. Mr. President, while Erning's here, maybe it'd be nice if you sign a copy for Erning if you want to put your autograph on it. Well, I'd be honest. If you do that for me, turn tables on him, shall we? I love that ceremony this morning. That's really colorful and beautiful. Yeah, we've got to keep seeing the young men of ours. Isn't that something? Thank you, sir. No. Appreciate it. Good to see you. God bless you. Thank you, Mr. President. You know why? Why? Because the damn things fall off all the time. I know. And I'm writing all the time and just an emotion of writing all of a sudden. So I kind of jam them on like that. I figured. Thank you. Good to see you all again. I don't want to pursue. Yes, sir. Pleasure. How are you? How are you? Nice to see you. Good to see you. How are you? Let me see your game. I don't want to pursue. Pleasure. I don't want to pursue. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It looks like my... I live in our own place. It looks like maybe it's next week that we... We don't have a time on the boat yet as to whether we've caught up with those men or those folks that we need. So your help and support is my work here. We've been working very hard to continue to do that. I don't have to tell you how important it is. What do you want? We have met with three commanders of three fronts. We suppress both of the operative ones that operate in the northern part of Nicaragua. Great. Good to meet you. How are you? Good. Thank you very much. Nice to see you. Yes? Pardon the laws, I'm a little wondered. Tea out in the deshalb stand. You just got back. My English is maybe more poor not my country. But to save time, I prefer to speak in English. It's necessary that I have the help of the public. We are very concerned about the problem of Central America, the problem of the human rights, and the problem of the church, the freedom of the church. I think the strength of the church, in that case, and in other cases, is the strength of democracy. In general, I think about taking money from the bishops. I agree with the ideas I am supposed to make. Very few bishops, very few in the band. We are for peace. We are against violence. I am Bill Taylor, who is standing right up here on my left, and who has done so much for the better business bureaus, the independent sector, the National Association of Manufacturers, the round of applause for these organizations, and their representatives who are here with us tonight. The President will join us shortly. Thank you, John. And again, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Congratulations to each of you recipients for your dedication to Yemen. One of today's award winners. Their annual We Care program raises thousands of dollars at Christmastime for families who have written for man-hours to airtime. And it's a genuine community project with full support for both local businesses and government. CNN's Missing Children's program extends beyond the pictures and the television screen. It also belongs to the note producers and the grocery stores who are keeping a watchful eye to make this campaign work. That is what the private sector initiative program is all about. These are just two examples of more than 1,500 entries and literally hundreds of... Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, and the Vice President. Welcome to the Rose Garden. And I want to thank the advance team for arranging such pleasant weather for the day. Usually, in this season of the year, there will be summer events in the Rose Gardener, a little like that. He obviously hadn't been here long because humility is not in great supply in this town. I want to extend special thanks to John Phelan, who is very actively taken on the chairmanship of... My vice chairman of the board is mobilizing the communications industry to recognize modeled private sector initiatives around the country and help give credit where credit is due. And I also want to thank Bill. Thinking earlier about this sea flag ceremony and the spirit of kindness and caring it represents, I couldn't help but remember an old story. When you get to be my age, most stories you remember are old and a few kind words. She said, don't eat the eggs. The truth is, when we first get conditioned to always look to government first, to steal a phrase from the private sector, they were using it more but enjoying it less. What had been forgotten in all those times affected him from the wind, but it also restricted his arm movement somewhat, and he hit a patch of ice skidded into a tree. When the ambulance got there and the Tenzitz elbowed their way through the crowd that had gathered and they said, what happened? One of the people that was there first said, well, we don't know. When we got here, he seemed to be all right and his head turned around straight and he was dead. That story comes to mind when I think sometimes I've got four. Between 1980 and 85 charitable giving in this country has risen over 60%. Private corporations have been an important part of this renaissance in front of New York to San Francisco attest. It's particularly significant that corporations and associations in this country are on the move in new and innovative ways. Property, personnel, products, and low-interest loans have as much as tripled without replacing cash contributions or challenge too great when matched against American ingenuity and resourcefulness. All of you here today are shining examples of the can do of charitable disadvantaged children to give Christmas gifts to their families. Can you ever imagine government thinking of that one or doing it? The Kroger Company donated ten cents of every purchase for a certain number of items. Fedora Diaz Verzan, Vice President, Accepting.

Mr. President, are you thinking of granting diplomatic recognition to the Afghan resistance? No, no. I know I can't say no questions, no answers. You can say the answers if you want. Any response yet from Gorbachev, Mr. President? You get back in your own door. They can give you a key. Your own key.
