Mr. President, on behalf of your many years of commitment to the American Wine Association, for which we are thankful, and as well for Mrs. Reagan, who has served both as Christmas Seal Chairman in California and as an honorary chairman for the Anti-Marijuana Program, we want to thank you very much for her commitment as well as yours. I'd like to present you this scarf with our respect. Well, I shall take it to her with great joy, and I was going to mention it. Really, she's the one who should be here. She was one year State Chairman in California and is the honorary chairman of your Anti-Marijuana Campaign. We're very proud of her. Well, I'm pleased to do that. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. This is a check, a personal check to contribute to the Christmas Seal Campaign. Thank you very much. Mr. President. Good afternoon. I got to run the other cash. I'll be keeping an eye on you. Here you go. The cash is right away. Thank you. And I'd like to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. And, of course, a praise to all of you for this cause, and I know it's true. I'd like to wish you a merry Christmas and a joy in California. And of course, a praise to all of you for this cause, and I know it's sort of the oldest, isn't it? Yes, indeed. The oldest of the long-term health agencies. Good for you. You've got a lot of imitators now. Right. And other worthy causes. But Ms. Bissell started. They don't have a president behind them. Yes. Oh, you've done your part. Emily Bissell. I know that. I've learned that last time. Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Bissell. Thank you very much for having a long time with you again. You've done a great job. Let's see what's your job. Next year I'll just have to go out and look for my Christmas season. We'll take care of it. Hey, good to see you. You're one of our honored leaders. It will be our pleasure to be by your time. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much for coming. You're going to invite me, right? Yes. Yeah, I will. Thank you very much. Yeah? Thank you very much. I'm glad you're here. We didn't have a schedule. You remember the meeting we had a long time ago. The Governor, Bob Ho, yes. Back then, on this stage, I said, I've been having a conviction. I said, I can't wait for you to come around and think the way I go. I'm bleeding heart and liver once myself. I remember that. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Mayor, hello. We're very nice. Bob Woodson, you know Sir Paul. This time, it's the President. He came agree, but apparently she got that. She's probably shaving her. She's probably shaving her. She doesn't have to talk about it. I guess it's my money, I guess. Chuck, how are you? Well, I think this... I'm sorry she isn't here, because I know the part she played, and all of that. Well, we took a stand in 1981, and came and came and signed it about 10 of management. I signed a contract there, made it free, with the project that started, and gave it technical assistance and help. And it's turned out, now I'm doing this, and I'm going to get the ownership part, so that all Americans like to do, whether you're low income, or high income, and we own it, if you're better, take care of it. There's a lot of public housing in this, if you want to do this. There's a 13 ready now, until it moves to its ownership. Oh, that's great. There's about two weeks, we'll have one in St. Louis, and then New Orleans, and then Cleveland, and then Chicago. I'm sure they'll be surprised, they'll be surprised, because there's a tremendous amount of talent in these developments, and people are there, sometimes beyond that control. They are few who abuse the system, but they're bright, they work hard, they don't want to be on welfare, they want to help themselves, they'd rather close it, and over there, Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore, a great statesman there, and the first thing, he was driving me around showing me, and he told me that, no, they go to work, they don't want to be landlord, they don't build it, and they go to work to get the people to buy their units. Mr. President, we'd like to present to you on behalf of the mayor and the National Center and the residents of Kilowood Parkside, the parent that signals the renovations that's going on with support coming from your administration, you put over 23 million dollars in Kilowood Parkside to restore that facility, and it's the first time in the history of this country that multi-family unit of public housing has been converted to ownership by the residents, and we thank you for your support by appearing on our television show and we know of other things. And this is a symbol of knocking down the old and new coming in. That's a poem, wasn't it? The timing is wonderful. The Congress is just coming back. The Vice President had to deal with that when he next year, January is about to come back. The Vice President, and this is the Vice President as well for his support. He mentioned it in his debate. Bob, I need one of these. Thanks for talking to me. Thanks for George. Well, he mentioned his debate and it's a part of the Republican platform so that the legacy that you've established will be continued on. Thank you so much. Great. On behalf of the residents of Worcester with the President, thank you very much. Absolutely. I thank everybody and all of you who had a part in this. I think it's a wonderful thing to hear now how swiftly it's spreading. Yes, 13 other developments around the nation. It's going to be great. It's going to be a really different kind of environment. We see it already out in Kenilworth. We had all the residents represented at the meeting at the event. They came from all over the nation and just inspired and we had over 300 people attend the event and some of them from Rochester and New Orleans all over the nation and Time Magazine is doing a three-page spread next week on the event and talking about the conversion. So we started the movement. I think that's great. You know back in the beginning of the Great Depression in Roosevelt and that was where the first home program helped came in and it was the cause at that time. It was a real fear of the society coming apart and driving and so forth and they come with nothing that makes your patriotic his own in that chunk of it. I mean one of the things we like about the fact that this is about him is that we have a serious problem. President, Ricardo Bofiel President of the United States. I'm very welcome. Presidentε I am very pleased to be President President Speaker for they did not for the people of Cuba and for those who fight for the rights I would like to thank you for whatever you have done. I would also like to thank you for your courage and what you'd like to say about the strength of the kind of rights movement worldwide. But our efforts would have been of little use if we hadn't had the support of rulers like you, Mr. Reagan, or the people of the United States. Well, we shall continue to support that cause worldwide. We will continue with our efforts, and we will never let down the hopes that you've placed in us. And I know the persecution that you've endured in the years before, and we admire your courage in being able to stand all of that and continue doing what you've done. There are still many prisoners in Cuba, many people whose lives are threatened, and we have to protect them. Yes, and for too long, there hasn't been a spotlight really turned down to that for the world to see. But thanks to you and your mother and your mother like you. Thanks to you for your help. We shall continue. We think that this cause of human rights throughout the world is very promising now that the end of the century is approaching. And perhaps that will be the major undertaking of mankind in the 20th or 21st century to make sure that human rights prevail throughout the world. Yes. As you see. And we can definitely say that your government, your administration, President Reagan, will go down in golden letters in the books of history in terms of the defense of human rights. Well, thank you very much. And I want you to know that I'm speaking now as a matter of courtesy, but it is something that's heartfelt. The strength of your heart has been displayed so many times so many times. Thank you very much. I'm glad you're here. I've been hearing about you.
