We will indeed. Now, I think maybe the ladies go between you. Yes, that's right. Actually, I think so. Thank you. You'll be very happy. Thank you. The Ambassador of Nepal. Mr. Ambassador.

You and I will go over in front of a fire place, and then after we exchanged our photos, we will come and join us for a week. Very sorrow and regret over August. That's very difficult. Earthquake. In your country? Well, and over that, several years ago, through the White House. He still remembers, he's very well, and he sends his best personal regards. And we have been very much encouraged with the words of the consolation, even in the days of difficulties such as Earthquake time. She gets between us, Mr. The Ambassador of Honduras. Mr. Ambassador, welcome. Mr. President, once again. Thank you, sir. Good to see you and have you here. Thank you so much. This is Hernandez. Hello there. Nice to see you. My daughter, Morela? What are you doing here? And my son, Alejandro. How do you do? You and I will go over in front of a fire place, change our papers, and then you'll come in and join us for a forum. Mr. President, you know that we are very much appreciative of everything you have done for peace and democracy in the Central American region. And our Darius office is very interested in continuing to support all these efforts in that direction. We're very grateful for all of your help. Well, I know that we're grateful for the support you have given and things that we've been attempting to do. Mr. President, warm greetings from our President. Holy, please give him the best of whiteness in the middle of the world. Maybe the children could be in front of us. Pleased to have all of you here. Thank you, Mr. President. Oh, he's so well ahead of me. He's one of the children. Thank you, Mr. President. Yes, I'm John Bet. Hi. How are you? I get a family picture, please. Oh, this would be great. This is great. Yeah, I'm glad you won't let your clothes on. I just welcomed a number of ambassadors. Oh, really? And one of them came in here. Bear the way. Oh, my goodness. And then I just understood somebody said something on it. This was their ceremonial. I guess it doesn't differ, but this was a ceremonial. A ceremonial. So you should be honored that he was there to the waist. Here he is, some kind of a skin, leopard skin or something. One of the speeches I gave while working with you. It's not one of those Washington books. This is a book about our children. No, it's a wonderful book. Oh, thank you very much. I highly recommend it. I assure you. This is a letter. This is a poem that an 11-year-old boy wrote. He's the only conservative in his school. His mother, he says. That's right. Yeah, we all want him. Look at the name. And he sent it to him one time to a poem. It's something that he wrote, and I think it's very good. This is in Haas-Tedler, 4100 Wests. W Street. That's a W. W Street. That could have been why he didn't get a risk, because it looks kind of odd. What is that? That's Northwest, Room 302. Washington, D.C. His mother is a teacher assistant at Johns Nursery School. And they're so excited about it. He's the only conservative so-and-so about it. Well, he... I should respond to it by sending a picture. Oh, he would be just fine. Well, now I have a little something to take care of before we... What did he say? What did he say? He put a vote on it. It's very shy. Can we show the president the back? Yes, we want to... Just so you know. It's Dumbo, but it's an Elephant. Yes, we have him. This is a young Republican here. Well, I think we better take you into your guest there. About two years or so ago, February 6th, my birthday, sir, he checked in as Secretary of Education. And I think you all know without my telling you that up until then, I was trying to get rid of the Department of Education. Didn't think the federal government should be in that business. Since then, I found out if you have the right person running it, it's just fine. And we had the right person running it. But I know this isn't the nature of a farewell, so I don't know why I'm acting so cheery. I don't feel dead either. Not even lame. Well, I couldn't resist coming in here. And as you can see, you're going to get kind of a luscious send off here. You can see I need it too. Yes, ma'am. Well, I just want to tell you, I don't know of anyone that has served as nobly or done the job that he has done at Education all over America. And I know that many of you were of help in all of this, that Education all over America is a lot better for his having been in the job that he was in. So I know it's goodbye, but I hope so. God bless you. And thank you. Mr. President, it has been an honor, pleasure and privilege to serve under you, to work for you. Greatest opportunity of my life. We've done the best we could, and I'm pretty pleased with what we've done. We have tried to follow what you wanted to do. When you gave me the job, you said I want you to try to represent the good sense of the American people. And that's what we've tried to do. And if I could say, Mr. President, what I've been saying to people all over this country, I know the President talks now in the last months about his greatest achievements. And to my mind, your greatest achievement is who you are. Because in you, the American people have their own common sense and their own good common values personified. And that's why they love you, and that's why I love you, and that's why we were proud to serve you. Thank you very much. Out of the way, sir, you can eat, drink, and be married. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, that's great. There you are, Mr. President. You're looking great. Well, listen, Congress has done a good job with the appropriations bill that I've received so far. And it'll be an achievement, I think, of which we can all be proud if all 13 individual appropriations bills are here and signed before the fiscal year begins. I've been told that Congress hasn't done that since 1948, the last time that that's happened. And I think we've got to keep within the last year's budget summit agreement. Congress finishes up the last seven appropriations bills because we don't want to trigger that ground-run on the things, on the dramatic growth of the new cuts. So if we place top priority on getting those seven bills down here within the budget agreement without unnecessary baggage, I think we can have 13 appropriations bills in long until the first known sequestration. As you know, I've stated I won't sign another one of those big omnibus continuing resolutions, so maybe we can avoid one this year. Floor's open. Well, I'll make you breathe. That's my secret, too.
