 I'm sitting here in the snow. Do I want to use some time out there? Nice to see you. Were you a Cup fan? I'm a St. Louis Cardinal fan. And we're going to win this year. John Rotemaker? Mr. President. Pleased to meet you. Nice to see you and I am a Cup fan. And John Dad. You're the President? Pleased to see you. You're very well. Pleased to see you. Good job. You're going to get Mr. Groot a picture too. Right. But also thank you all for all that you have been doing and particularly right now in my latest crisis which is the work of your organization like yours with three million members and all of us. It was powerful. We can't let out because the opposition is not a good fan. I'd be grateful if it was so for you. So maybe see by the year 2000 worldwide subsides will be eliminated. We said that sounded awfully good to us too. It may be a little bit optimistic but 2000 is a long time away. A lot of things can happen and the direction is right obviously. On the board nomination we we're getting pressure from the country. That's how we took a stand. We never had before. On the Supreme Court nomination or any judicial nomination but we were getting calls from our members to the State Farm Bureau all over and it came in the American Farm Bureau Board and said look Farm Bureau you ought to take a position on this one this year and our board we asked Howard Baker to come out and he met with our board and we knew what said Howard would be on before he came but our... Well Henry's office in California is one of our board members and you know Henry. Yes. But it was unanimous amongst our board that we should support the board nomination today and we left copies here with your office. We've sent a letter to to a chairman of the Judiciary Committee to the committee saying we're in support and which many people know and we have gotten some activity going in the country which I guess is important to get some letters and calls in and this meeting today with you gives us another opportunity to go back again and said you're something new I met with the president. Have another shot at it. All right. And we're going to do it. Well that's great. I'm most grateful. Thank you. This is super new year's free. Maybe I've done this before I did not. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Would you have time for one more? That would apply in this case? Yes. Because you've been able to tell a story now. No. Yes. Dagwood, the comic strip Dagwood, years ago I think I was maybe a kid thinking about all these people that are against work and the organization that are against him. Dagwood's neighbor is Herb Woodley. Herb Woodley came over and said Dagwood, I'd like to borrow your lawnmower. And Dagwood said Herb, I'm going to say no because I haven't shaved yet this morning. Dagwood said, what's that got to do with me borrowing your lawnmower? Dagwood said, when you don't want to do something any excuse will do. And that's some of these things that are happening here. Any excuse will do when they have made up their mind and apparently to me, the same as a lot of these folks have made up their mind and they're looking for that excuse and you can find it anytime you want to find the excuse. Well, I'll give you one in return. I'm a collector of Soviet stories that I find that can determine a toll among the Soviets by themselves and shows their sense of humor but also their cynicism about their system. And you know, there is a 10-year waiting period for buying a car in the Soviet Union. You're ready for 10 years for delivery. So this fella's finally ready and goes through all the agencies and finally the last one and they stamp the paper and he gives them the money. You have to give them the money in advance. And the fella said now come back in 10 years and get your car. And he said morning or afternoon. And the fella said, well, what difference would you make if we're talking 10 years? Well, he said the plumber's coming in the morning. It does say something about the Soviet system. Thank you. Thank you. Enjoyed this. And we're going to do our best for our nomination and appreciate your what you're doing on the phasing out of farm subsidies and one last thing before we leave. Keep up the battle against a tax increase. That's another issue that we are... I don't need to change your mind on that one but we are coming up with all these reasons why we need a tax increase in the country in my state of Iowa and all the state. And you just got to say as you're saying no. The alternatives, we'll live without some of those good things that you're telling the factory to go by. Yes, and you know there's a... I haven't had time to check this out yet but there's been a recent survey by some very respected intellectuals in the economic field. The study and their study reveals that here in these recent years for every dollar of increase in revenues from tax, a tax increase, spending has increased a dollar and 59 cents. So they don't really use a tax increase to settle deficit. They just go out and buy some more things. I'm a believer in cutting off the oxygen. I'm standing on that oxygen tube right down there. Thank you very much Mr. President. Good to see you. Thank you for all that support. If the Cubs can't win me, then I'll make some money. You might be great. Thanks. This gentleman I believe truly needs no reduction. Hi Mr. President. Hi Mr. President. This is my son Ronnie. Nice to see you. And my son Edmund. My daughter Gettys. And the biggest miss there from the entire world. And I'm so pleased to be here. And I'm convinced it was her. She's got to see you. Well, I'll see you. You and your right hand repeat after me.
