What isn't the first of the discussions we've had recently since we last talked to each other and Particularly we were discussing the scope of permission reports and where they figured on that and I Can assure you that there was unanimity everyone around the table was completely in support of the scope of commission report and was a good opportunity for all of us to review the other complex issues that were social at the start and We're still reviewing the issues make sure that our negotiators go there Knowing what's what are bottom lines and what are flexible positions and so forth And I want you to know that I am fully committed for this bipartisan effort to achieve a start agreement and Is that a way changes which we may wish to make in the Start position during the course of the negotiations. I wanted to hear your views also in this same section because I know it's something you're interested in and now I'm going to talk about it in front of you. Well, thank you all for being here and you know we had a meeting of the National Security Council this morning to discuss future steps in the start negotiations and with the round table we also discussed our under-announced concept of a guarantee, a mutual guarantee build-down and I remain fully committed to the promise that I made to develop build-down options which could help us achieve our objective of significant reductions in nuclear arms and today I want to give you a status report on our work and program and progress and also to hear from you your own thoughts on the issues associated with our work I must say on the build-down we found out that there are a lot of technical points that have to be covered so we've come a boomerang that's for example if we are modernizing and building down and they are already so far ahead of modernizing and therefore don't need to add something that's not going to be building down but I don't think there's going to be any problems I think it will be a sizable help in the program of getting mutual reduction and right now I'd like to turn to Bud McFarlane here for a brief example some of what all took place today in the student the other day I'll have a problem if there's any of course you've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it I've seen it As you know, there are critics out there speaking of Star Wars and Darth Vader and all of that. And you know, I never even indicated what type of weapon it might be. I had no idea, but they ought to manage it all of a sudden now. You would think they specifically said laser and satellite and all of that. Well, it's a funny situation. You see, there's not so much information out there. It's out there. But there's not going to be any weight on it. First, I've got two subjects here. The first one is the Whistler's Summit. Let me just take the metaphor. I think it's very different. I won't say more because I don't want to cut in on what I've done, they say. This was the first one in all the nine years of summits they've taken place, in which we tried something different. It was an American idea and it had never great approval on the part of all our allies. The summits in the past have been a kind of formalized structure in which they go round the table and they get a state bid. They have something to say and they've already lived it permanently before the meeting started. But we released one there over the tells everyone what we did and they wrote it before we did it. But this time we communicated with them in advance until we thought it ought to be a round table in which we take up all the issues that are a concern to all of us and throw them out on a table for everybody having that. And they lumped it and that's what we did. And we got agreement. In fact, we stayed on the subject until we got agreement. And not by a majority vote or anything, it was going to be total consensus. And I don't think they'll enhance it stronger than it's ever been of themselves. They all would have been poosed or would have taken place. Everybody aligned in their support of how together we've got to meet the economic problems, how together we've got to bring down the worldwide inflation not just in one country, we've got to bring our policies into different regions. And as I say, it was a very heartening experience. I'm very happy. I don't know, maybe you all know this secret, this last basketball. I remember when I was in college, we almost had one basket. The championship was scored 36 to 34. Of course, the score is in the hundreds. But in addition to the height of the players and all of you, one of them had to say, I don't think I'm going to go south. I think the goal is going to be, I don't think I'm going to go south. I wonder if the hoop is the same height. The players are also about 10 inches taller. I found that out when I put a basket up in the garage and at home, and I stood up. That's the best one I've seen. And I was telling somebody about that. The shots that used to roll around the ring and come out of it because of a basket ball, you really had to shoot through it. Just going to give me some lessons out there. Sorry. I hope you notice, Al, that we have you on the president's left hand. I want to be on his right side. I think that's the ball for a man to be able to go out and say that. The only thing I can comment on that is, I'm on my usual stock in the middle. Any questions? There will be another meeting where they'll be invited. Mr. President, are you going to see that Johnny learns to read? Are you going to see that all the children really learn to read when they go to a public school plan of college? That's, I think really one of the purposes of the commission report. Thank you.
