 That would take so long, right? All right. That's a nice lunch today up there. This was. Seafood. Really, I just wanted to thank you for all the things that you had to say about our Central American policy. I appreciate it very much. But the George was there, too. This is a burden. I'm really under-loading, but I felt so strongly about the issue that you needed to notes on that one. OK, I bless you. Appreciate it. Now, do you have any concerns about the M.A.s? Hi, Jack. How are you? I'm good. I'm going to see you. See you. Come in. I'm going to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Well, how are you doing? Good to see you. I see you in a Des Moines registered poll. You're running away with the whole state of mind. How are you doing, Jack? Good to see you. They said it looked good out there. You must be doing something right. Well, yeah, I did. I had 65% approval rate. Haven't caught on to you yet. Well, yeah. I pulled them all in here. Well, listen, I know we're going to just a few minutes. I want to say a few words about the M.A.s that you're off to. I think we're going to just grab a moment around here. I think we're going to grab a moment around here. Hey, Jack, just to have the two of you see it there, let's press them in, and then just generally go over some of the things you wanted to say about Secretary's trip and the achieve in a general way. And if you get any specific questions, you'll be able to say I've played the play. I think it's the first chance we've got to talk about this. I mean, it's actually useful. And Secretary, we operate in place. That's what I'm going to say. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm also concerned overrants and creators, as I'm talking about somebody else's allergy obsessing about the possibility of a letter to a group of senators. That's exactly where we all have the letter has gone. We have no letter. It's been working on me. I'll go back and put it away. It'll leave that after all. Did it tire you? No. There's still quite a few in our party. We'll get started on something like that. But it's there and we're going to have to go through some questions. I don't know. I don't know. One shot last, but it's over soon. We'll get it. She had taken a full shot. Mr. President, do you support the build-down concept? Yes, I think there's some things that have to be worked out. It's as simple as achieving the quantity. Are you going to tell the senators that? No, I have a letter that has gone up yet. The letter has gone to some of their questions of these things. Yes, that's something we've heard definitely. Lights, please. Thank you. Hello, Mr. President. Hi, Bill. I'm just fine, baby. I did the decision. Are you? Yes. Is our executive director aware of the board? Yes. And I think you know that face right down there on the other side. Yes. A table full of presents. You have a little time back here for this. That's it. That's exactly why I ordered up this weather. I didn't want it to be too much of a shock. Those Californians are talking much about weather these days. It is. I know I was there last weekend for two days and it was just nice when we were there that the kingdom may never get over. Liam was just there. He gives a dismal literally. They have what we previously enjoyed in quotes in these. Yes. That's finally hit them. Oh, yes. You stayed on the roads when you rode the horse and they'd be up with their knees and any place in the ranch. Of course, all those are green on the surface and very pretty. I must say this for one thing for the queen when she was there. She was not a good sport, but the weather was sufficiently bad. She said that it really was kind of enjoyable because she said instead of just being dreary, she said it's kind of an adventure. Well, listen, I thank you all again for being here and for what you're doing. I've only had a chance to kind of skin that quickly, the report. I have to know some of what's in it, but I'm looking forward to going through it in detail. And I promise you that I will see that nobody just imposes makeup on you because I know you've got a very full plate. You have to ask for your special services on something. I think I'll turn the meeting over to you. All right. What have you been going on? Well, we thank you, Mr. President, for asking us over here. Yes, Prime Minister of the League. Prime Minister Price here with us. You just voted on the committee. Good morning, all of you. President, is it true you'd rather have no one-year resolution than one with taxes? You should bring your camera. Today? I don't think today. I've got a full plate. They're going to have an accurate one-year resolution today. Another resolution you're not going to find. Mr. President, the technical problems on the build-down proposal, are they such that you think you'll be able to overcome them and incorporate that into the U.S. negotiating position? Well, I don't take questions on photo opportunities. As you can see, I'm smiling. I'm optimistic. Right, please. I haven't said anything to Sam. I've brought your camera. I said this is a full opportunity. And as I started to walk away, the gal down there just said that they're voting today, and that was when I just ordered my shoulder signals and non-binding resolutions. You're all dressed for the evening. We're ready. Very good to see you. Good to see you. I hope we can do as well. I want you to turn towards me. I hope we can do as well in this fund. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you. Oh, I didn't mean to step down. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President, thank you very much for doing this, Mr. President. Appreciate it. It helps a lot. Thank you. Thank you, friends. Thank you. Thank you. I'll say it twice in one day. Hey. Good to see you. Morning afternoon, sir. You got a little dressed up? Yes, sir. Good evening. Thanks again for helping us. Do you want to, sir, can you look this way? Beautiful dinner dinner. That's great. Thank you. That's okay. Thank you. Morning, my name. But a different one, you know. It's in your brand. I'm David Shekary, and I had the pleasure of working with George Goodmation, the President of the United States of America, George Goodmation. Let me just have your attention a minute. Mr. President, the group that you see here helped raise about $2.5 million for the Republican Party, $250,000 of which will be presented to Jim Brady this evening, so I thought maybe you might want to say something to them. Well, yes. First of all, thanks. These last couple of days, I just said a little earlier in here, I'm about ready to give snarling lessons. I've been meeting with Sky and Dick Lugar, with some of their cohorts and colleagues up there on the hill, and a few matters I have to do with the budget and with MX and some things of that kind. And believe me, what we need is more of our kind of people up there. And I don't know what we would have done seriously without that majority in the Senate and the one house. And when you stop to think back that we haven't had that for 26 or 7 years, it's been both houses the other way. But even so, with the wrong house, I had 8 years, 7 of which I had a Democratic legislature. And now, here we are, and while I've been fortunate to have the Senate with the majority for 2 years, I keep wondering what it must be like for a fellow to be in this job and have a majority legislature of his own party. I know what you've done and to bring this about and why you're here. And I can't tell you how much I think that is a service to the country. I'm grateful to all of you. I've told many times, and maybe some of you, I admire people that can do what you have done in raising funds because that's never been easy for me. That's why I got in government, where you don't have to ask what you just take. And maybe I shouldn't do this, tell an old story, but if it's an old one, then I used to tell lots of times speaking to illustrate my feelings about the inability of the difficulty of raising money. It was the new charity chairman in his town. And he looked at the records and he saw that a well-to-do gentleman in his town had never contributed to the local charity. So he went to see him and he said on a record show that your income is well in excess of six figures and he said you've never contributed to the charity. And the man said, yes, do your records also show that my brother was invalidated in the war and has never been able to work a day since? Did they show that my mother was left widowed with children and no income or insurance? And he went on this way and he finally said, no, I'm sorry, they know the records don't show that. Well, he said I don't give anything to them, why should I do that? I guess we all better be getting over to the other building there. So we'll see you soon and thank you again. Thank you very much. Nancy and I are both very happy to see you here and there are a lot of familiar faces from years past as well as last year. In the past, the special support that given by all of you to the House Senate dinner has meant a great deal and it's going to be a lot more in the next year and a half. Believe me, next year's election will be a crucial one for the country. And I know there's been some speculation about my own plans and I do wish the Democrats would quit reminding me about how stable social security is these days and how low the airfares are to California. In fact, some of them are urging me to retire and become an elder statesman. That's what they were accusing me of when I ran for the job. You know, this time of year when we're talking budget, a lot of senators visit the Oval Office, including some Democratic senators, of course, for a little arm-twisting. I can always tell when one of those Democrats is planning on running for president, he brings his decorators. We are getting the country out of the economic mess we were in. Inflation is down, as you know, interest rates are down, productivity is up, wages are up. So is the stock market, auto sales, housing starts, and the list goes on and on. You know, the Democrats claim that we caused the recession, but the other day one of them said we can't take credit for the early recovery. It's just one of those cyclical things. You know, they tell a story about Malcolm Forbes, the famous publisher and balloonist. He was floating over Lake Michigan and finally reached land and came down in a wheat field and he saw one of the local natives there and said, excuse me, sir, could you tell me where I am? And the fellow said, well, you're in a basket in a field of wheat. And Forbes said, you must be chairman of a transnational corporation.
