 Okay, I'll read you the new last line I'm going to put in. Then we can get on with the business of lending a hand to our neighbors as they attack poverty and create economic opportunity for their people. Hope I've got a laugh so I don't know. Oh, I bet you do. You always do. I know, I know. I'm just teasing you. That's a group of people who are interested in public speaking. Oh, you know what? I remember they go back to you. Sure. They're based in California as a matter of fact. And they always want to know what your secret is with the teleprompter. Especially when you're using the beam splitters in a large group. Because we get lots of mail from people who don't think that there is any teleprompter. And they don't understand that. They always want to know what is the president's tip? Well, I'll tell you, one thing that I do very consciously because of that is I use that as I would if I had the notes down here and back and forth in each one of them. But I mark on the script. I keep a script so that because in Europe on that door over there, one of the speeches, the teleprompter would haywire right in the middle. And I finished up using the script. But when there's a quote, I make a mark down, quote. And I found that if I leave the teleprompters and come down to the script and do the quote from the script, it adds to the impression that I am. Absolutely. Actually just conversing with them. But one thing is, when you're looking right to left on the teleprompters, how do you keep your place between right and left? Well, there isn't that much script on the teleprompter at one time. There are only a few lines. So that if you're reading like over there off of that one where it says live, Mike, by that time you can come over to here and take it right out. Yeah. And you know, just like reading from notes where you look up and do part of a sentence up. Well, you've read ahead of yourself so that when you're saying the sentence from the thing there on the way across, you could be saying the rest of the sentence just that you remember and catch the next one over here on this one. You make it sound so easy. I just don't think. Well, since we got so much time, have you ever seen The Magic Clock? No. In any other room I've brought in California? Have you ever seen it? No. Anyone else that wants to see it? It's made by a man in California and I've had it ever since I was a governor. Take my watch. If you'd like to see it. It gives you the time all over the world where the sunshine is in the world. Good night. Good night. Good night. Yeah. I don't think they're cheating. I don't think they're cheating. I think they're cheating. I think they're fine. I've seen them simple or more natural spirit in the night. The next month, what would they have our view of Haley's Conna? Did we get another view next month? I don't know why. I won't see it but then I'll catch you the next time. Jack's mom's mother made it for me. When you feel like you know you want to throw the phone and everything's going wrong instead doing that or kicking the desk. You take this, you grasp it firmly by the legs, and then you go... and get rid of all of that. Destructions are right there on the front.

I don't know if we thought that up, but it's kind of funny. Better get serious and get leaving us. Turn this up for the White House. I say leaving is the one that said over the barracks. I guess that means the headquarter barracks. Yes, sir, right over here at any time. They have the Marine Corporates for summer. He's going back over there for about a year, I guess. And where did the other one say he was going? The other one's going to be discharged. He's going to roam the world for a while and explore the world. I don't know if that's what you did when you were a Marine. Two minutes. Stand by. Mic's on. My fellow Americans, last Thursday the House of Representatives voted on a proposal to send aid to the freedom fighters of Nicaragua. The men and women struggling against the communists who control their country. This proposal was designed to protect our own southern borders and give the freedom fighters the chance to reclaim their nation for liberty. It would have required no new money whatsoever, but would simply have used funds already approved by Congress for defense. By a margin of 12, the House voted no. Every day that this vote is permitted to stand, every day that freedom fighters are left defenseless against Soviet helicopter gunships, more lives will be lost and the dangers will grow from this Soviet beachhead on our continent. Already, the Soviets have armed Nicaragua with tanks, anti-aircraft missiles and helicopter gunships. So-called advisors from the Soviet Union, East Germany and Cuba swarmed Nicaraguan the thousands and have helped the Nicaraguan communists to build an army and militia of 120,000. By far the biggest armed force that Central America has ever seen. But that is not all. The Sandinistas have openly admitted that they intend to spread their communist revolution throughout Latin America. But the Nicaraguan freedom fighters have handed the communists a setback. Although outnumbered and under-equipped, the freedom fighters have pinned down thousands of Sandinista troops and countless military assets. With their blood and courage, they have bought the people of other Central American nations the precious time they need to strengthen their democracies. And in helping to thwart the aggressive designs of the Nicaraguan communists and their Soviet bloc accomplices, they have directly contributed the safety of the United States and the American people. We owe the freedom fighters a vote of thanks, not a vote of no confidence. I cannot accept the House action as final, for I cannot believe that it reflects the informed and considered will of the American people. Next week, the effort to provide aid to the freedom fighters will move to the Senate. Our proposal, as it now stands, including its provision to give the freedom fighters defensive weapons immediately, represents the absolute minimum of assistance to which I can agree. Any less would be too little. Any further delay would be too late. We speak not of a game in which one side can call time out to consider its options. We speak of a life-and-death struggle for liberty. The Soviet gunships will not halt their operations while we debate. The House vote must be reversed and soon. I urge the Senate to vote on the aid program promptly and the House to take the matter up once again at its next item of business. Some of our critics insist that even the minimal assistance we're requesting is too much, and that negotiations and negotiations alone are the answer. But I must remind them that the Sandinista communists have already concluded negotiations in 1979 with the Organization of American States. In that agreement, the communists promised to conduct a peaceful, non-aligned foreign policy and to hold free elections. They have done neither. I must remind our critics that our administration has pursued active diplomacy holding ten high-level meetings with the Sandinista regime. Always, the communists have refused serious negotiations. I must further remind our critics that promising diplomatic proposals were on the table when Thursday's damaging House vote took place. President Duarte of El Salvador and his Central American colleagues had proposed that a dialogue take place simultaneously between the freedom fighters and the Nicaraguan communists, between the Salvadoran government and its communist opponents, and between the Nicaraguan communists and the United States. We support this initiative, but the Nicaraguan communists have refused to take part. So, I would say to our critics, join me in providing all the resources necessary, and that means military aid to the freedom fighters, to bring the Nicaraguan communists to the table, and to make them honor the international promise they have already made to the Organization of American States. The communists themselves have shown again and again that diplomacy alone is not enough. As your president, I cannot leave my successor, I cannot leave our children to face grave dangers and agonizing decisions that, with a minimum of foresight and courage, could have been averted. The freedom fighters have done much. They ask little. Let us act to help them, together, Democrats and Republicans, and let us act now. Then we can get on with the business of lending a hand to our neighbors as they attack poverty and create economic opportunity for their people. Until next week, thanks for listening and God bless you. The former was this thing of that we should, you know, be pushing more for the Jackson plan, the Christian thing that followed up on it, to help, you know, with the economy and so forth down there. But good Lord, that's what I made the trip about in 1981. He said, to do this, and so I told him we were all for it. Well, he said he thinks that between now and the next vote, if we make this more in public, what we really want to do is have a program, an economic program of help down there. Get rid of that pervasive poverty over the country. That's where I stuck the line in. So we'll start doing it. That's the way it will work. Did you hear tips at the press conference yesterday with the group of congressmen? At a press conference demanding that I cancel the underground nuclear test. That's due today, isn't it? It's supposed to take place at 11 o'clock in our time. Well, that's taken place already. Because when I got the call during dinner last night, I said, shoot the bomb. Right on. Goodbye. See you next week.
