 Good to see you. Thank you very much. Governor Hershler from Wyoming is going to join us. I didn't twist your arm. You have no worries. Well, come in. Thank you. Please, I apologize for leaving late. No, I'm not at all. I'm going to sit down and ask you this. There's a little problem with the necktie here. Yes, I can see that it'd be a real problem. First question, I'm going to make this short. I'll stand at the second place. I can't tie it myself. I can't tie it on the one hand. I've never done it before. Well, we're very appreciative of you being here. I mean, I've been spreading it out. For me and Slip to start out on my personal visit with you. Mr. Secretary, thank you very much. Thank you, sir. For joining us. Governor Hershler and I realize how important your time is. We're very honored to have this opportunity to meet with you. Well, pleased to meet with you. I have a book that I would like to leave for you and your staff. And we have this as a result of the meeting that we had in Dallas since the report. I'll just give it to you. I'll put it on there. It's a nation of needed energy security. And while it's submitted by me, it's prepared by the Interstate Commission as a result of the six governors that met in Dallas and several governors that weren't able to be there, but many of them who support our position. But it really is just something that we ask your people to review. It's not anything we ask you to comment on today or anything like that. Well, I know it was in the resolution you passed, and I just made a couple of notes here to run out all that far apart. We are, with regard to some of the minimum level taxes, are terrible, something we think there are other answers. But I've already, and an announcement has come out today, I've already did it today, stated that we are going to reaffirm and go after, again, deregulation of natural gas. Actually, it would be, I hope, repeal of the Fuel Use Act of 1979. Philadelphia is all wet land. Well, Bob, I want to thank you very much for putting off the committee meeting down here today and thank all of you for coming down on such short notice. We know what the subject is about. Jack, you wrote me and the others would sign the letter. I indicated that I couldn't go along with what had been proposed. I just, and I noticed a number of you already, I've tried to explain what I see as the seriousness of this with regard to our relations with Canada, and with the Prime Minister up there, who has gotten himself in deep political trouble just from trying to be a good friend to the United States, to the point that there are political opponents who are accusing and rolling over and playing dead. I think that his own ability to do things and continue to cooperate is hanging on this particular issue. And I just want to tell you that you've got my commitment that Clayton will be working with you every step of the way as we conduct the negotiations on all the trade irritants that exist between the United States and Canada. And if we don't initiate these negotiations in the manner that I've requested, we'll be jeopardizing the tone, I think, of our political and economic relationship, very seriously and for years to come. And having a denial, the fast track on the eve of our trip to Tokyo won't be helpful, because that issue there are going to be a number of things we're going to try to resolve that are still trade irritants where we're concerned. Interference is with the free and fair trade that we would like to see established worldwide. And I don't see if I have to go there and haven't been able to do something with our strongest ally and our greatest trading partner. I doubt that I will have very much the weight of those who are sitting around the table. But there may be other things on your mind that come through today, and so I'd like to hear from you what it is and what we can do to try and resolve this issue. President... Thank you, sir. We have a very good day with the Philippines. We're going to pass up in Asia and we have some straight times of Singapore. That won't be neither you, in fact. I've come over since this is a company you've written an interview and we sit down on those chairs for a picture, so it'll look like we're here. You can leave your bag right there. I didn't say it was, but I know. Original of that, hanging up in the gym upstairs in the White House. Do you remember just my name? Just my name. Yes, I am. Have you been there before? No, I've been to Indonesia before. Before I was in this job, while I was still governor of California, President Nixon asked me to do any one or seven things. Heavens, we even have songs about Bali and our country. I'm sure I will. I think he's one of the world's greatest states. Talk about... Very recent. Oh, I'm quite sure that subject is. As well as the economic situation, the trade relationship, because you know, part of the world is the fastest growing economic. Just where do you know? Well... I don't like to go to the US. Well, maybe it's the slowing down that just comes from once you reach a certain plateau. There's a fast recovery for the time, but then that was off to just normal growth. But we've been twice in Singapore. Where was that from? Well, let's see, both of those trips were back in the early 70s. I think you should read another one. The change has grown a little bit. What's that? The profile has changed quite a bit. He looks a different person. Building so fast and being able to do so fast. I was impressed with the clemenace of the Delfton streets. I think we're so good. Which I understand. Everything's fine. This is a good time. Sorry. It's fine. Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! Sorry, I'm getting too excited here. Now, we're going to be very busy in the other side of the world. We're going to be very, very busy. We're working on a matter that we've been accustomed to. This is complicated further by, you'll be able to see a few things that I think are placed out there on the hill. So I'm just going to touch up a few points and ask George to get into some more detail. First, the economic summit itself is a unique opportunity to advance the causes of political and economic self-determination. And I hope our allies will join us in moving forward in the spirit of cooperation. The second issue is Saudi arms sales. You must understand that I'm fully committed to providing those arms, none of which are new to Saudi inventory. And that I need your active support to make that to every possible. If I get a resolution of disapproval on my desk, I'll detail. And the thing is, we're trying in every way to keep a relationship where we can be helpful in the overall peace process over there. We're already seeing too much by the moderate Arab state, just being so totally in support of Israel that we can't make a fair decision. Anytime we do something like this, like even the Jordan arms sales, it just adds to that whole impression. Now, we have the word with the Israelis. They can't ever come out to support something at this time because technically there has never been a peace declare between the Arab nations. They can't come out. But at the same time, we know we're talking to Perez. This does not, he knows how we're doing it. He knows that he has confidence that in us that if ever anyone should turn around and attempt to use these against Israel, we would be there to offset it. And now another thing I want to mention here is aid to the Congress. I want to leave you with some sober information in regard to new Soviet rock plans are now being delivered. And time is running out for the resistance. As a matter of fact, we have heard that they are faced with great shortages up to including having to cut their food losses right now. So time is really going to be of the essence. And either we do what's necessary now or we face more painful decisions in the future. At least, I don't know whether you've seen some of that back there when the, that was hot on the news wires and the TV news. These are mainly young people. They're volunteers in their heart and soul invested in what they're doing. And I think they deserve better than sitting there on half rations and developing the initiative. Really many extended period defend themselves. And lastly, I hope the Senate will receive your ratified the US-UK Hector Tradition Treaty as soon as possible. A sensual letter emphasizing how important this is in our fight against terrorism. And it really is a matter of fact and in a ladies' briefings, terrorist groups that have been helped fund-wise and so forth by Mr. Gaddafi include the provisional IRA. And that's not the IRA of such emotional history to Ireland from back in the days in the towns with Britain. This is literally a terrorist group and it's used in that name as an offshoot. And for them to be able to commit murder and then come to the United States for shelter for us to refuse to extradite I think is something that we should make make a correction. But that's enough for me, George. President, I think you've said before we leave that morning earlier this week on Tuesday we covered the political issues that were likely to arise in your bilateral beads in Tokyo and we had a couple of special that had been working with the Sherpas from the other countries over the past several months are going to go over the economic issues that they've been working on and it will be the subject of... Beyond that, the Japanese have put themselves off to accept almost any suggestion that we have to do with this and all the press will come to our part. The other interesting angle on this is the Miron Shirak team has said he wants Shirak to be treated like a prime minister because or he wants to be treated like a president but he can't treat both of them on a ride in Tokyo until dust after lunch the first full day Monday. Then that lunch is scheduled to be with the heads with the foreign ministers the dinner that night is scheduled to be heads alone the Japanese probably will interchange those and make the lunch heads alone which Shirak is not in town so he's not being excluded and then make the dinner with foreign ministers and Shirak will replace their foreign minister. We told...
