 Well, it's a pleasure to have you here. It's a great pleasure to see you. Thank you for receiving us. Well, notice that you have been with us two days ago in Philadelphia and yesterday was beautiful. Yes, well, thank you. Maybe we should get a picture of all three of us. Well, thanks. That's very good. I know that it's very difficult in a situation in the Middle East and what you're faced with there, but I want you to know that we still have as a major call an eventual peace in the Middle East and one that will recognize the legitimate political rights of the Palestinian people. I only have a few more months to continue attempting that if the election turns out the way I think it will. I'm sure that I think that will still continue to be our cause. Well, I want to tell you, Mr. President, about the situation now. Well, the actual situation now is very hard for something not know what can be done for even the actual days. But the problem also for us is a problem of Christian presence in the Holy Land also. While I am Palestinian, I am the patriarch of Jerusalem also and therefore I care for everybody in the Holy Land. For the Jew, the Muslim, and the Christian. But also I represent the Christian presence and we are ready for the Christian survival in the Holy Land. And that means that our Christians being 98% Palestinians. 78%. Their survival is died with the survival of the Palestinian people without their legitimate rights, as you said. That's the problem. Could I ask a question? Because I've always been conscious of the division between the Israelis and the Palestinians. But it comes as a surprise here. What actually is the attitude between the Palestinians who are Muslim and with the Christians? It is the same, both are in the same situation. They are facing the same problem and having the same sufferings. They are the same in the same uprising. And therefore they are supporting the same reprisals from the part of Israel. Therefore Christians and Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians are well together. Now sufferings have more united them also. And as for the future of the Christian community, Arab community, it cannot be dissociated from the Muslim community. That's the point. You could say that there are 3 million Jews from one side? No, about, yes. 2 million more or less Muslim from the other side and 100,000 more or less, 150,000 Christians. Of course, I always assumed that the Muslims thought of Christians as unbelievers. Yeah, a while. But indeed, in the daily life, we are living together. Sometimes we have hard times, but it is like hard times between brothers. So we are brothers, useless. And we cannot, we cannot dissociate ourselves from our Muslim world. It is our culture, our people cannot. We could say this, Mr. President, that between Christian and Muslim is the relationship between cousins. Between the Christian and the Jews is the relationship with us, in law, in law, mother-in-law. So sometimes the relationship with mother-in-law is more critical than relationship. Well, we're very honored to have you here. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. And we hope you will do something for the homeland as a whole, for the Palestinian people, as for the Jewish people, we say, because both of human beings, both have the same rights, and both can have one land and one land. Thank you. We had a very nice conversation with Secretary Shultz. Well, that's fine. Thank you. Thank you. Again, God bless you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. As you know, our guests are the former Prime Minister of Italy and the longtime friend. We're very happy to have you here. Plus, you let us be out in the sun for a moment or two before we have to get down to the discussion. The President has decided to permit the indictment of former President Marcos to go ahead. I'm not going to comment on the situation the way it is. It's a matter that is being taken up by law agencies, and I just can't make any comment. The preliminary work has been done, apparently. You think that they can't proceed with the indictment, though, sir, without hurting our foreign policy interests? Again, I'm not going to comment in any way because this is something that has not come to my attention as yet. If it's to come at all. Marcos, given the promises that were made when he left the Philippines? Again, there are finding ways to ask, and I just don't want to get into that subject at all because it is something that may not come to my desk at all. Would it violate, sir, any promise that you made to Marcos indirectly? Again, welcome to our country here when he left the Philippines. Beyond that, I can't comment. Do you promise him that he can save Haven from any kind of prosecution here? I couldn't have made a blanket statement of that kind. I don't know what situations could have arisen or in his relationship with his own country. What did you talk to Mr. Craxy about, Mr. President? We're going in and do the talking now. He just arrived. We've just come out here. Mr. President, are you guys going to talk about the stories of South Americans not trying to do a deal with the mics down? I'm always upset about something of that kind. It is no help and it clouds the situation. And if anything, it endangers the efforts that we continue to make to get our people back. I have no knowledge of anything of that kind. Mr. President, are you now curing up in the on-demand? Who is going to be elected that you can start emphasizing on a plan a month ago? I've always planned to help them. I had a friendly Senate to begin with and I would like him to have it. We couldn't have made the economic progress we've made if we had not had one house on our side. Take care, Mr. President. Take care, Mr. President. Mr. President, take care. You know me. I'm not going to jinx anybody unless you're going to know what it is. Are you rooting for the Dodgers? Are you rooting for the Dodgers? Boy, if I were just an ordinary citizen, I sure wouldn't be. Now, Dad, I don't know. Again, as I say, things come to me when it involves foreign policy. Well, can you say how happy you are to make overtures for the United States or make overtures to North Korea? We have this under discussion and this has been something we're dealing with right now. We talked a little about our NATO alliance and the problems that we have with regard to security on that front and so forth and it was basically that kind of talk. The market responded yesterday on the first anniversary of Black Monday apparently in response to rumors about Vice President Bush. Well, not long ago, Faith decided that there isn't very much of a way to predict things on the market to make it go up and make it go down and so much of it could be done just on rumors. But we saw the big fall of a year ago and a year later there's been no disaster and everything is proceeding as normal so I'm not going to get upset by the ups and downs of the market. Mr. President, what is the main subject you are going to tell President Doh of South Korea? We have so much in common we've been allied for so long that I think there are a number of things for us to talk about and discuss including relations with North Korea. Mr. President, all South Korea over to North Korea could you give us a sense of the United States opinion of North Korea? We will be discussing that whole issue, that entire issue. Can you envision a time when the U.S. is reducing its military presence in South Korea? That is a possibility but in the case of no longer that would be the only way Do you see signs that they may not be needed that much longer? I couldn't put my finger on some definite signs but I can just say seeing how other areas of the world have tensions have been lessen if there's a possibility of that why then yes that should happen Is it more probable now Mr. Reagan than between do you see a role for the U.S. in any possible reconciliation between North and South Korea? The role of President is to be of any help we can Do you see a greater likelihood now Mr. President that at the first of your administration that those U.S. troops have been out of South Korea? Well there have been a great many changes over these eight years and I think it's possible to see some things that we couldn't foresee then but listen I've got to we have a meeting to get to President you know you seem reluctant to give any hint that you might be softening your position toward North Korea Is that the impression you want us to have? Means I think if you're going to be talking about negotiations of any kind you don't give anything away in advance I'd like you to meet Peggy Ann Who is it? George Nash Well hello there How do you do? Good to meet you Forbes Olberg Hello Jerry Hillby And Jack Franta I want to see you again Mr. President Hello Mr. President Why don't you like to have a group picture?
