 have to answer them. Why are we always having to Why do we say yes to it? I don't know if they're ever doing that, but you can care about it. Never, never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, we'll never get accepted. I don't get accepted. I don't get accepted, anything. And she's your say- No. We'll ask for them to as long as it is, you know what I mean? I'm going to give you a little bubble here. That's all right. I want you to feel myself. And I'm the Metropolitan Police Department. If you want to get a little bit ready, we'll give it to you on the big plate. You can wear it. You're going to fit right well with what you've got on you. Thank you very much. He's been very supportive of going for us within the Metropolitan Police Department. I deeply appreciate it. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Mr. President, we'd like to invite you to drop by. Give us a moment, sir. Just a moment. All right, good. Could you tell us, Mr. President, why American soldiers are carrying M-16s in El Salvador? The only thing I can assume is that they were for personal protection. I think that's understandable, but I'm asking for a full report and we'll never be defensive. What kind of policy in El Salvador with regard to American troops? Secretary Reagan says he doesn't think business has gotten the message. What's on the tax and economy budget? What about big business, Wall Street? What about, again, that we might be going into an inflationary spiral? I don't think we are. They're going to have to adjust the tax rates, aren't you, Mr. President? Is that just something going to happen? No, I don't see any reason. This is the only way to stimulate the economy and that's the only way to really bring down the government spending within its revenues by expanding the economy. We've been limping along now for a few decades with these every once in a while artificial stimulants that seem to be aimed at trying to get the economy going again and every time it's resulted in higher interest rates, higher inflation, greater unemployment and now this is the worst that we've had in several of these last recessions. But has Congress really cut enough in an election year? Those portfolios won't even be back if they make all the cuts you need. I think if they go out and meet the real people maybe they'll do that and they'll find out that the real people out there know that government has been cut off. Sir, your own Republican troops are deserting you. Your own friend, Senator Laxalt, came out yesterday and said that you needed the running room. Well, I gave him some running room. I think that's perfectly natural. We had a very fine meeting and I don't think there's any desertion taking place at all. Mr. President, what about interest rates? Is there anything you can do specifically to on your own or the administration's part to bring down those interest rates in the next some months? The program that we have in place is aimed at that. But also, I think that we have to have more cooperation between ourselves and the Federal Reserve on this whole problem with regard to the money supply and a more consistent plan. Was Ambassador Hinton speaking for you when he said that there had been excesses in the field of human rights against human rights in El Salvador? Well, I just heard all of you on the news not too long ago. Not very much time was given to it, but there was a mention that the guerrillas had attacked a village upon the country or on board and reported 100 people killed. I'd consider that a violation of human rights. But the Ambassador seems to be going against your policy, sir. The Ambassador seemed to be complaining about the government in this case. Well, we know that there has been problems from both the left and the right. That's why we're supporting the New Army government, which is between both of those factions over which there is some work to be done. Thank you, Mr. Ambassador. Thank you. What are you giving your wife for Valentine's Day? Valentine's Day.
