 I'm looking very good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you. Hi. This is Jim Coddick from Navistar. I'm Kirby from your hometown in Los Angeles. I'm Howard Steinfeld from New York. And Professor Glauber. And Professor Mullins. Nice to see you. In about half I've got your picture taken by the lamp. I mean, you know everybody here, I think. Vice President, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you have to command 60. Hello, Allen. Mr. Parent. I'm Kyle. I'm Kirby. I'm the lab around the office. I'm going to make sure it counts now. Get over there and get it set. It's 12 years. Come on, come on. You just take seats on the couch here. Your group's quite a few, so... Yes. I'll take a seat on the couch. I've got five minutes. I'm going to go upstairs. I'm going to go back in. I'll take a seat on the couch because I can't put the chairs down. I'll take a chair back in. You got everyone. One more seat here. Thank you. And then we'll put the chairs down. That's a little bit of a fool. That's a little bit of a fool. This is trouble. We kind of have small trouble. I have trouble. That was the official meeting. Yeah, I think that was a little bit of a trouble. That's about hardcore. She was a gentleman's wife in melody. She was a good woman. You'll probably hire a gentleman. She'll probably use that. Also, that girl... How does that even happen? The three classes. Three classes, you know, which there is. Somebody had a great idea. It's hard to say somebody you're in trouble and it's damn hard to put any attention to that. to that, you get a lot of dumb answers, I mean, dumb responses. And it seems like in the class, some of them stay over there, and there are verbs that are going to come right out of the mouth of their head with some idea of what's going to happen. And Barbara, you had this feeling, the guy was going to respond unless he got through. And those screens are everywhere in Tokyo. Yeah. Mr. President, it's a time to buy, Mr. President. It's a time to buy. There's one thing when I was a sports announcer I would never do is I would never predict a victory for any team that I was broadcasting. And the one thing I'm not going to do in this job is give advice on the market. Mr. President, Senator Dole is calling on you to meet personally with the budget negotiators to reassure them that you really want to deal. There seems to be some doubt about that. Are you going to call them in? I have been a participant and am a participant in all of this. And I'm not going to go beyond that because nobody wants to deal more than I do with regard to reducing the deficit. I started talking about eliminating the deficit 30 years ago on the mashed potatoes circuit. But the Democrats say you're not flexible enough. You're not giving your negotiators enough flexibility to make a deal. Maybe they're looking for an excuse for having created all these deficits. Do you think these negotiations are going down the tubes, Mr. President? No. Why not? Because they can't. Why, sir? Why, sir? They can't for the simple reason that it's about time after a half a century of deliberate deficit spending this government straightened up and started operating within its means. What would be the signal to the market if you don't get a deal, sir? Well, I'm not going to speculate on that because we're going to get a handle on the deficit. This way, please. Are you going to miss Cap-Wine-Burger, sir? Are you going to miss Cap-Wine-Burger? Yes, I always miss Cap-Wine-Burger. This way, please. The cameras, sir. This is the full scale. An opportunity to let me say personally how much I've enjoyed working with you for the last 52 months. Well, I appreciate very much of what you've done. Do you remember the gender gap problem? Mm-hmm. Well, that was my inaugural event. Well, listen, you have a friend, a cartoonist. I've got a friend. Well, that's right. That's exactly right. Well... Oh, you've bandied that up for me. Yes. Oh, that's terrific. Oh, that's great. I love it. There's a little something else here also, then, that I... Well, this is terrific. That's great. Well, listen, I know the car, but who's this guy standing next to it? Oh, well, that's you. That's great. That car should not be that color, but it's pretty far. This suits you. You ought to have a car like this, Mr. President. Give up that dog on Cadillac and get a Jag. Should we make them in bulletproof? Well, you know, they can arm themselves. Well, listen, I'm going to do some gift-giving myself if you don't mind. Oh. You mind? No. Well, let's try this. I'm a cartoonist, too, and that's what I'm going on to. I'm going to try to syndicate a strip. And I did this for you in the appropriate high-class office public affairs wrapping paper, believe me. But why don't you go ahead and open it? Whoa. Right. I've also got one for your buddy Jim Coon. Oh, there he is. No, I want him to step over here because he's been such a good friend of me and a friend of yours. He's just one of those little souvenirs. My golly, this is a free trade zone. I'll put them together. Yeah, why don't we do this? Well, it's over 1687. That's the day I punched out of here. Well, and I guess this is obviously me, Jim B Nimble, Jim B Quick. There I am jumping over. Very clever. Thank you. Well, I want to say Jim's hand. He's my buddy. Mr. President, also, I'm a good morning American. I wanted to give you your son's schedule on, he's doing a series on the Soviet Union, as you know. Yes. And he starts at 16, and that's what he's doing. Hey, I'm glad to have this. Many times we miss the announcement that he's going to be on. Well, I figured it out this morning, so I thought I'd let you know so you can tune in. Well, that's wonderful. Of course, how early in the morning do we have to get up? That's a good problem. Too early. You will have to. We found that he's on before we actually have awakened. Now, if it's after 7.30, we're in, we'll be seen. It will be after 7.30. Good. I'm going to open this now, too, if you don't mind. Sure. That takes a fight to trick them. Go ahead. They're not easy to open. They're not easy to open? Have they, uh, do you put these together, James? No, I think we have a machine that does that. Oh, that's a good call. I heard it went very well, too. Oh, you know, we were... Yeah, we were getting a little frightened, though. When that fog came in... Mm-hmm. Everything was upset. It couldn't fly out. Well, George Schultz had to go back training. That's right. I mean, I'll think of you. It was so bad. Mm-hmm. Then, all of a sudden, we couldn't contact him anymore. Run the call and just delay him off. We couldn't get any word. That would be scary. And we thought, you know, another day we'll offer him, or what? No word. And, uh, finally, I told Schier, they were going to go through the embassy to see if the embassy could locate him or something. And we got a telephone call from California, and he was on. But it was a big pattern. He'd taken train, I think, someplace, and then something else to Frankfurt, and finally on the front of Britten County. And that's why he was in Immunicata. The kids have a way of doing that. Mr. President, these are lovely. And I know how much, uh, how special they are. Uh, they'll be very special to me. And let me tell you, I'm going to save and wear these, uh... I'm going to, Kim and I are getting married in February. And I'm going to wear these for the first time on our wedding day. Well, I think that's wonderful. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Because that's what good is for kids in January. God bless you and keep up the good work. Well, now on your comic strip, is it a feature of me? Well, I don't know. Let me put it this way, Mr. President. You've been here long enough to know that they're walking caricatures in this building. And it's a lot of interesting people. A lot of interesting people. And, you know, this is something I've wanted to do ever since I could draw. What's the nature of a strip like this? Well, you recall Pogo. Yeah. Pogo was set in a swamp. Uh, this may, uh... We'll have animals and we'll have people. And, uh, we may set this in a circus community. In the words of Washington. Inside the Beltway. I'll tell you who knows something about this. Edmund Morris has been looking over my shoulder. Well, I've put this together. In fact, you ought to show that to him. And, uh, a kibbutz and a critic along the way. Well, yeah. Well, he'll get a kick out of it. He'll get a kick out of it. But I think we can probably work here. God bless you, sir. I know the good, uh, the good Secretary of State is behind this. You know, of course, that I am a congressman reader. Well, of course. The first thing I turned to in the morning. All right. In an awarding post, I found that once you finish those three pages of that, I'll tell you something about the Morris paper. Exactly. Well, they have a good story. I used to freelance from McGreenfield over there before coming here. She's all right. And she'll use my stuff. I'm going to try to do both. Try to do the political end in the comic. In fact, the whole point of this script is to do a conservative response to Dunesbury. This guy has been getting away with murder freezes. Yes, he has. And, uh, and there's no reason why a good topical strip from a conservative point of view shouldn't sell just as well. That's what I'm going to try to do. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again. Well, thank you. Good luck to you. I'm, I'm absolutely thrilled with this photograph. And, uh, this will, uh, find a prominent place in my, uh, studio. Let's go take a picture. Frank. God bless you, sir. Take care. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. It's a new plan. Oh, yeah. It's a new plan. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. OK. I remember what Ted was talking about. The strong side. I got to talk about a pair of shoes. I was talking about a pair of shoes. I was talking about a pair of shoes. Oh, yeah. And this is, uh, a good end. Got to look in it. I'll take a picture. I'm excited, man. It's a good end. I'm excited. I'm excited. Oh, yeah. I'm excited. OK. What is this? A good hand. I don't care. I'll take it. Great. Thanks. You just get the rest of the year. Yeah. I can't. Man, I've grown hard. I'm sure you've had a 30. What do you do here at the road? Anybody? All right. You know, Bob's got a different one. I'm just feeling exceptionally good. I didn't think so. We didn't take care of that. That's fair. That's fine. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. I got a little bit of sex. We're going to be playing at the best of rules. Come on. We will be playing at 4 o'clock. I'm already cancer- one thing. I know. You got a cool stick around from the signing. The signing? I meant what we did. You don't want that. I meant what we did. You don't want that. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Just like their remark of 4 and 8, yesterday. I caught that. That's about as close as I want to get to this. Yeah. Hey, I'm having a room. I handle the roof. Nobody can run through a public that need more than the roof. Dale says, let's give this to the junior member. Lie. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Cooley said, I don't want that ball on the left side. I don't want that ball on the right side. Here we go. Oh, great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You got to get a little bit more dribble. That's good. Go ahead. Mr. President, are you going to withdraw the nomination of Judge Ginsberg? I am not. I accept his statement. I believe that's enough said. You think he should have just said no? Mr. President, why aren't you more concerned about the Supreme Court nominee's use of marijuana? Because I'm old enough to have seen that era in which his generation and the generations of earlier than that was taken and all. And how many of us would like to have everything we did when we were younger put on the book? We decided that you have to be seven years old and aspire to government office. Yes, and I'm satisfied with his statement. He was not an addict and he was not a bad kind. Few of the experimentations, I'm sure there were a great many people who did that at that particular period. You're not concerned about the message it sends to the nation's young people? Well, I think the message it sends is that he says he regrets he shouldn't have done it. I think it's an helpful message. Do you think he could survive? Can he survive, Mr. President? If there's any justice in the nation, then he can. Do you think there's no conflict with your calling him a law and order at hand of it, sir? Converts are sometimes the most devoted. Thank you. We're going to get a justice agreement? Yeah, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? Yeah. I was wondering if you'd be any bigger than that. Yeah, I saw those. I just didn't see anything new with it, so that's all right. Okay. Oh, that's fine. Arriving member. Did you miss them? Yeah. Well, listen. I have to go to the break and you know. Howard told you, told me about you wanting this meeting. And so that's a lot of some of the things to do. And I think it is really time that we really get down to getting something done. I like to hear from you about where we are. Mr. President, thank you very much. I think we've had a lot of meetings. I've been there for most of some of these, Mark, Bob, and Pete on my side. And Bob, people have been there probably for every minute. Jim, Howard. Mr. President, Mr. Minister, I'm sorry. Mr. President, why don't we come in. Thank you. This is the best one out there. This is for gentlemen. You want to shoot? It's a beautiful day.
