 Thank you for that down-on-the-farm welcome that I've just received. I am sharing that spirit today. Now, if there's one thing you must possess as a partner on the basis, you've got a kidney down-on-the-farm on the basis of the brain process. I'm making you a basis and your support for it. On a seven-day basis, especially on the legislative front, I felt like that a neighbor in the city hired out to work on the farm during the harvest season. On the first morning, everyone was up and down before dawn. On the higher end of the farm, they made their way and they dug out the old field. And I don't want to say the word to define the city, but I'll ask what kind of witness would be heard about it. Why was it taken? After applied more fertilizer, dropped more land and embraced more science and technology. The acres devoted to more than cotton, soybeans, and wheat, there certainly was a grain rush. Agriculture came luring into the 1980s, pulsating with the will. The way of cultivation should be easy. Rolf Virger didn't know how right he was. Three years ago this month, the previous administration embargoed grain shipments to the Soviet Union. Our 75% share of the Soviet amounted to 30%. Other countries filled in the gap and then walked in new long-term trade agreements for the Soviet Union. We've been working hard to repair the damage to our farm exports. We want the world to know that it can interrupt us, except in extreme foreign policy circumstances. I've kept that pledge. As the governor of another great agricultural state, Charles Stone, protect Americans from the possible Soviet disruption of our domestic market. Well, we have now taken another important step toward restoring that confidence, the legislation, the force of law. Our foreign customers, Secretary Block has been so worried about those dairy-series, plus that he's aging faster than the cheese. There's only news stories on the farm auctions. Some of you have probably been there. As a rancher myself, I know that when a family has to give up its farm, it's not letting me exist until we're like in 1979 when I spoke at the same convention in Miami. Since then, in the two years, 1979 and 1980, farm production expenses rose 30%. Last year, the rate was only 2%. Anyway, the others have now joined in, and the general prime rate is 11%. That said, I was going in the right direction, and I'm pleased to announce that even before we knew that that was going down 11%, decreasing the farm goes to a temporary program to help farm families through this difficult period of adjustment. The policy people called our proposal payment in kind. That's not very descriptive. It's really a crop swap. This is how our crop swap plan would work. A farmer who takes additional acres out of production would be able to swap what he didn't grow for a certain amount of the commodity already in surplus. He can then do with it as he wishes. The crop swap program would reduce production to a further cutback in planting. I'm not happy about any of it. As you know, the assessment was not the administration's idea. Congress, the president of the company, accepted, plucked it in our lap and wrote the savings into the budget as they rejected the more flexible alternative proposed by the administration. If the assessment doesn't cut production, we must work together to develop a better plan for the dairy industry. A plan that is fair to the farmer and as free as possible from governance at the end. President Eisenhower, we will not give in to protection. We can fulfill what we're meant to be. Thank you and God bless you. State of readiness, aren't you concerned? To say this $11 billion is really where what I mean is, do you think there's any more to be gotten? Congress says to you, the president, we want to take another $11 billion. We can't do this without sacrificing some readiness. In addition, would you have to impose your contingency plan on new taxes? Is there going to be some kind of a domestic spending freeze as well? Have you signed off? This is a decision you're announcing. This is a decision about the $11 billion. Oh, I'm announcing that I'm accepting that. Right. Gladly, and the cap did this, and I'm pleased with it, and yes, it will be very helpful. You're kind of running out of time on these other decisions, aren't you? Since I don't have to ask anyone. How long can you get the deficit, sir? I can't answer that tonight. We'll have to wait until we're ready to make our announcement. That's what I say about the people. That's why we've tried to curb and misinform the people, because many of these things are only, maybe, series of options that have been suggested that are getting into pieces of the budget. Have you really had leaks up to your keyster, sir? I didn't expect that to be quoted. How is your key? I'd like to hear it. I'd like to hear it. I'd like to go back to those days and have permission to vote. You've got to start with the staff on that. Never go back, Mr. President. Always go forward.
