 We've just decided that some of you must be sleeping late because your ranks seem to have diminished here after the long night, but we've been through the long night and just wanted to say to you that we're very pleased with the results. Our target in the one house had been, as we said, somewhere between 17 and 27, what apparently it's turned out between 17 and 27 that we've lost in the house, but the main point is, and we're gratified, that we have not only maintained control of the Senate, but that when we started two years ago we had 53 and we now have 54 Republican senators. And we look forward to working with this Congress now, bipartisan fashion, to solving the major problems that still have to be solved. That fella up there, I've heard his, you're saying the Senator Dole said that we had our, we would have trouble. Well, Bill, we've had trouble for 22 months. It's been a struggle every foot of the way, but we approach this. There have been concessions and compromises in both directions on all of the major issues, and we expect to continue to work with the Congress in that way. Well, I heard all of that, and I think some of that is rhetoric of the campaign season, which is now over, because the truth of the matter is we've had some mid-season course changes. We never achieved all that we had asked in budget reductions. We did not, we compromised very broadly in the tax program. We started asking for a 30 percent cut across the board retroactive to January 1st, 81. We settled for 25 percent beginning in October of 1981. And we then further, in order to get further budget cuts, we were willing to compromise on the tax package in which we agreed to certain tax increases. So I think there's been, there's been a fair exchange and a willingness to meet other people's views. Well, as I've said, we will work with them in a bipartisan fashion in an attempt to solve these problems. We won't compromise on principle of what we absolutely believe isn't essential to the recovery. And we go into this session with the awareness that everyone must have. And that is that what has been done so far is apparently working very successfully. Well, Sarah, we've done that regularly throughout these past 22 months. I meet in that cabinet room with bipartisan leadership groups. And I meet, well, we have met with leaders, both Democrat and Republican, in the various fields that you've mentioned, whether it's business, finance, agriculture. We have, we've done that as a regular matter, of course. I don't think so at all. Well, it's not time to talk about such a thing yet. I've said that many times. But let me just, let me just say it. First of all, there's a smile on our faces and intentionally so. If you look traditionally at what has happened in a situation of this kind, we have every reason to feel good. A president newly elected and who has brought in with him one House of the Legislature, the Congress, in his election. This is the first time since 1928 that he has not lost two years later that House majority that he brought in with him. The average in times of economic stress, the average loss in this two year election is 46. We feel very good about what's happened. Sure, we'd like to have won everything, but we knew we weren't going to. All in all, I think it was a very good campaign, but you can't make a blanket assessment. Individual campaigns are run by candidates, their own personalities and beliefs set the tone for their campaigns. But out in those states that I went to, the campaigning was on a positive basis that I saw and observed. And Vice President here is going much farther than I have in traveling around the country and in seeing this. I wonder if you've seen too much of that. Well, yes, I think that seizing upon both of those, I said before and I will repeat. The charges that were made in order to try and frighten voters into voting one way, the charges that were made with regard to Social Security were absolutely without any foundation whatsoever. There was no truth behind them. There never was any secret plan written by us, and we're waiting for the commission to come in with its recommendations on the needed reforms that must be made if that program is to remain fiscally sound. Two years ago, 18 months ago, you were hoping to try to regain or gain control of the House. Now you've had a 25c loss. I'm wondering why you are so optimistic today. Well, partly I go by history. I gave you what the average was or the average loss for when the economy was in the condition that the economy is today, but even the overall average loss is 31. So we beat the odds. What are the issues that will dominate it? They will continue to be the economy. To continue doing the things that will reduce unemployment, the resolving of the issue we just talked before, that there has been a long time postponement. The first time that I ever made a speech pointing out that Social Security was actuarially out of balance, and at that time by $300 billion was in 1964. And in all the years since, nothing has been done to do anything about that. And now the imbalance is caught up with us. And within the next several months, we're going to have to actually face the issue of where the money is coming from. So I think that's an issue that can no longer be swept under the rug. Last question, please. Are we going to stay the course with high deficits? We're going to stay the course because the best way to reduce the high deficits is to continue the reduction of unnecessary federal spending and the necessity of restoring the economic base, because the high deficits have come about through several factors. But one of the most important is the high unemployment, which has taken people off the tax rolls, and at the same time has increased the output for subsistence for those people who are penalized by unemployment. So when we can get the economy back working again, and we'll take care of the revenues that are necessary to help us reduce those those deficits. Thank you, sir. No, Bill, if you really analyze the unemployment situation, there is a constant returning to work and others. This is not a steady pool of individuals who have formed that unemployment. The I'm trying to remember exactly the figure here, but I can tell you that it is a third or better of the people that are unemployed are unemployed for less than six weeks. And a figure that gets up to around 60% are unemployed for less than 16 weeks. And so there are part of the present increase in unemployment with not additional people losing jobs, although some did, but a portion of the increase in unemployment was new people entering the workforce for the first time. It may go up a few fractions of a percentage point. But what I'm saying is that the unemployment problem is is one of an ever-shifting pool of unemployed. And what we have to do is get the economy going, creating the new jobs to meet the increase in the workforce, that the workforce is constantly increasing in size. I'm just smiling broadly. California as you might know was one of the happier moments in the evening for me last night. Thank you, sir. No, he's a good candidate. Check Act one. I wouldn't take that credit. Thank you, sir. Last question, sir. That's it. Thank you. See you later.
