 I'll be with you. You know my wife's marching is. My mother-in-law is fine. My daughter, Karen Depp. My son-in-law. My daughter-in-law. My son Frank. My sister, Joan Kleinrock. My brother-in-law. My son Larry Silverman. Mr. President, how are you? Just fine. I think they want a family picture if we can all. I think we can kind of all get back in. I was right in this neighborhood. David, why don't some of us come over on this side? I think we can. Mr. President, come on. As close as you can. Okay. Why don't you move a little to your left? Okay, great. Perfect. Right here. Ms. Carlucci, right here. Thank you very much. Thank you. Mr. President, I was wondering if we had a few seconds. If you would help us solve a family problem, which resulted when you announced that Frank would be going to the fence. Our daughter, Kristen, got very teary-eyed. And when I asked why, she said, but why would Daddy leave the President? And I tried to explain this. He wouldn't be leaving you. No, he's not leaving. He said, he's just staying with me in a different way. Not nice? Okay, about that to all seven. No, as a matter of fact, not only is he in charge of one member of your family over there. Very much so. It's a hard way of getting control of him. That's all right. I think I'm going to be mowing the lawn regularly. Ready? We're ready. We're going to have a family going first and take their positions. Follow by the President yourselves. We wait. Okay. Kristen, you go this way. I'm going to chase the Bible. Your life has changed. Tell Cap that we're using the Bible that he gave to Frank when Frank sworn in to be his deputy. Well, I guess here we go. We have, Mr. President, we don't have everybody in place. It's a little tight in there. Okay. Here we go. I've got to let my people know. Sir, your call will happen. I know. I'll call your office. I'll see you in a minute. Is that coming to the same thing, having twins again? I've heard that. We've got a James gave back on our boy at James. Get what company? He just came over and then he did. That's right. Yeah. He's been here quite a while. Yeah, he just came on the boy, yeah. I called him that back in the business, so he gets it. He just came on the boy, yeah. He just came on the boy, yeah. So, he just came back. He's not what he does. Who is he? Why? Why? He said he goes to the right. Oh, there. What is your anniversary? Right. It's from Virginia. Great. It's a particular little beginning. John, is that from your family? It's only 28 weeks old. Don't forget. It's a baby. Yeah, I'll just say the way. Thank you, Jerry. Mr. President, the group you have here is a representative group from Virginia and this group is going to be the representative group in Virginia and that group is going to be the representative group of Virginia and Virginia and that group is going to be the representative group in Virginia. We are going to be back. Yeah. So, that was a great time. here is a representative group from the Wall Street community, from the industrial community, from labor, from the farming sector, from associations such as the Chamber of Commerce and other representatives of important sectors of the economy. It's been our privilege and pleasure to have lunch together and to talk about the package just negotiated between the White House and Congress in an effort to reduce the deficit and to avoid a sequester. It's been a good conversation. And I think there's a general consensus that when you were entitled to a high mark for having taken this initiative and the unfortunate that we were able to produce a result, that each had their own views on the various aspects of it. And I'm sure they would like very much to discuss this. Well, I want to thank you all for coming today, especially on such short notice. I thought that it was important quickly to begin a series of meetings with a wide range of opinion leaders to tell you what is in and what is not in our agreement on the budget. And I know that you've received a rather detailed assessment from Howard and Jim Baker and Jim Miller. Let me mention three things about this agreement that I believe were important to reiterate. As I said on Friday, this agreement must not be the last word on deficit reduction. This is a good first step, a basic framework to work with him for this year and next. We can and should do more. Second, let me share with you the personal assurances that I have from the congressional leaders as well as the chairman of the tax writing committees that they have committed to hold the level of taxes to no more than the $9 billion this year and the $14 billion next. They've also committed to leave our tax reform intact. There will be no change in marginal rates or indexing. And there will also be no new broad-based taxes, such as a sales tax or new excise taxes. I know that you're concerned about provisions I haven't mentioned like taxing mergers and acquisitions. Just let me say that this agreement does not preclude us from vetoing any or all of the legislation that comes out of this agreement. And I will veto any bad tax bill. Finally, I believe, and I think that you will agree that this package is better than the automatic sequester under the Graham-Rudman-Hollins law. It prevents the otherwise indiscriminate across the board cuts of a sequester, especially those that would cripple a national defense. And it provides for more reforms and entitlement programs, reforms that will provide lasting reductions. It calls for the imposition of over $1 billion in user fees to advance my policy of requiring people to pay for the services they receive. And perhaps most importantly, it shows that the executive in the Congress can come together to produce a credible package, rather than to have to rely on the autopilot approach of Graham-Rudman-Hollins. I think that's what the American people are looking for, the ability of this government to make choices. Now, John, I'd like to call on you, John, failing to tell us how you think the markets here in the world will react and reform the single future. I would merely echo what others have said, Mr. President, that I think one of the important things about this agreement and this accord is not that it's an end, but it's a beginning. As you said, it must continue in some way. It's much better than sequester. I think this at least sends a message personastically. But more importantly abroad, that in this country, the leadership in this country is willing to sit down, to work on an agreement, realize the seriousness of it. And I think that a lot of people don't understand the impact of interest rates that all of this have had not only on our domestic markets, but overseas as well. And I think without a voluntary agreement like this, that would certainly be viewed in foreign markets and by foreign governments as an extremely serious situation in which it was not possible to get an agreement in this country. And I think that would be to the long term detrimental interest of this country and people in this country. It certainly is a beginning. Thank you. Mr. President, could you set the record straight, sir, as to whether you would consider any hardens in Iran-Contra affair before Mr. Walsh's investigation is over? This is a subject that I have not and will not discuss this time. Until what point, Mr. President? I don't know. Let's say sometime in the future. Would you address the Iran-Contra report, sir? You have not commented on that for now almost a week. Maybe no comment is called. Sir, why is that? After months of investigations, you said that when the report was finally in, we would hear a lot from you, but we wouldn't be able to shut you up, I think, with your words. Well, maybe they labored and brought forth the most. Let's go, please. Thank you for talking with me. Consistence. Don't you feel, I have to read it. Eight, eight, consistency. Yeah, let him be, let him be.
