 Good afternoon, and welcome again to all of you from the USJC's, and welcome, President Harry Wilkerson. Before we start, let me also recognize some congressional members and also friends from the great state of Mississippi, from the House, Trent Lott, and Sonny Montgomery, the Senate, John Stennis, and that kind. You know, I shouldn't take advantage of them here in a situation of this kind with regard to partisan politics or anything. I'll bet they'd make the most of it, but I said, you realize that in this room behind me here is the Nobel Peace Prize that was won or awarded to the family of Teddy Roosevelt. And that was for Indy, the Japanese, the brush of Japanese before. And he did it in typical Republican style. He was sitting in a yacht. I'll turn that against me. We're here today to talk about the JC's. I'm well aware of each of you individually and your organization as a whole as accomplished. And I thank you. Before you leave, let me tell you about two additional things that I think are important. I have to get in the lift, but there's one as the confirmation of Judge Robert Bork's Supreme Court, as you may be aware. His hearing starts tomorrow in the Senate Judiciary Committee. And I must tell you, I feel strongly that no man in America in fueling history has been more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than Bob Bork. I mention this because I think he deserves to be evaluated on his qualifications, that he deserves to be considered promptly, and I hope you will join me in supporting him. That's why I happen to bring this up. I know what the many areas and the fields and what you've been accomplishing. I wasn't going to let an opportunity like this go by. Now, the second one is our policy toward Nicaragua. There should be no confusion. We support two tracks, diplomatic initiatives to peace and democracy. And the other track is the freedom fighters. They're mutually reinforcing, since military pressure has brought the Sandinistas for the first time to the negotiating table. And I think we would suffer a quick defeat on those negotiations if we removed precipitously by simply neglecting them. The support of those freedom fighters would have been the pressure that brought this about. And we were not abandoned. Now, I said all that I was going to say to all of you, and I know you have other things to do. But I just came speaking to the National Business Association. And I couldn't help it. In connection to what things are sometimes here in Washington of telling them a little story, and I'm going to tell it to you. That's going to be all of them. A fellow knocked on another man's door. A man came to the door, and he said, do you happen to own a black pit bull? And I said, well, yes, I do. And he said, I think I ought to tell you, he's dead. And the man said, dead. He said, how did that happen? Well, he said, my pecanese killed him. He says, your pecanese killed him? How? He says, got stuck in his throat. I think you can check by then. They all voted to talk in last. On behalf of the United States of the States, we've admired your leadership, and the leadership you showed in our organization. That's a major part of our organization. And you've been the example of a father. And I will say this, if you can't believe in family and freedom-free enterprise, and Ronald Reagan, I don't think you can believe in America. On behalf of the United States of the States, I'd like to present a token of our appreciation to your leadership that we follow, Ronald Reagan.
