 Absolutely. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There's one group. There are two classes. We have to set a single thing of very important. Why we were not here. Waiting for the photographers to get out. As a matter of fact we talked about the web. Linked by the base solely on the legal requirements. Right, and this gentleman can come in. So that's literally a dance. Yeah, wait a minute. You're hiding. Okay. I didn't know. I'm a sailor. That's man with the glasses right here. Perhaps you could work on. Oh, sure. Yes. I know. No, you want to do that. You didn't. I'm sorry. I'll be hard of you. Look it. This bottle broke back. Well, I went to the street. Go down there and if you make a presentation, you guys will make remarks and then we'll come up. So, we'll be right back. Am I blocking anyone? No, sir, you're not. We're all set. Okay? Ready? Run. They all get slowed down, Mr. President. Those of us that are up here... Mr. Jackson, President... Mr. President, you know they're... My name's Brett Jackson. President of the American Pupils Association. That is the best booksellers in the world. And they tell me that you probably won't be able to understand me. But... You've talked to Fritz Hollins and Strom Thurman. We've come from the same place. So, we've talked to us a lot again. Everybody cast it. We want to give you a deep thanks for giving us a moment to celebrate the book. We appreciate the fact that you declared this the year of the reader. And we're going to have some books to present to you so you can at least read that one extra book that you place to read. The American Booksellers Association is a volunteer association of booksellers all over America. We represent several thousand booksellers and millions of readers. We think that the book has no equal. Really important. How would we know history? How could we agonize with you, past President? And President... If we didn't have those books to read. And we discovered... We've got a little gift for you that we think will bring back a lot of really good memories. We think that you have enjoyed Ships by The At Night and Great Adventures. But we read that your favorite childhood book was a book called Northern Trails by someone named Long. Is that right? Yes. I read it several times. It's kind of the love of nature in me. Right. We used to try to practice the howl of a great white wolf. I started a search around the United States because the book was published in 1905. It's been a long amount of print. And we found this book at the Yankee Peddler Bookshop. Burnley, if I'm wrong about pronouncing this, but it looks like Pullnettville, Pullnettville. What are you, New Yorkers? Is that the way you pronounce it? Pullnettville, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Westenburg ran the bookstore. And I can't tell you how much we paid for this out-of-print book, but it cost us 15 times the amount we paid to get this nice leather bag. I'll bet that we'll bring back some great memories. That's Southern South Carolina writing there, but I hope you can read that. Yes, I can, and I thank you very much. That's for your worst alive rate. You have just started to be down memory trail. That's the kind of book you want to set on your night table. The American Book Sales Association is distributing this book. It was originally a European publication based on newspaper stories, beginning with one page per month, per year, since the beginning of the century. The American edition is using the New York Times database, and it's edited by Clifton Daniel. While this is a French edition, because it was originally published in Europe, the American edition will be coming out in September. We'd like you to have this for now, and the American edition will be happy to send it along. Well, thank you very much. It's got a real nice couple right there. I don't know if you're familiar. Yeah, they're familiar. Those are the two things I've quit burning. This, by the way, you can be sure to format this book. If you want to know what happened on your birthday, you were born in 1931. I remember that. It took place that day, and the database of this book will be the New York Times, so it will be centered more widely and if you can read it in French, you can read this until you get to New York Times. Right. This is a list of the books that we will be sending to the White House Library. This is a collection of what we think are the best things that have been published in the last four or five years, and they will be delivered very shortly. I couldn't resist bringing one of these along. This is published by South Carolina and North Carolina Publisher. They discovered in the crawl space underneath a black tenant house the original plates of a famous black photographer, and he took these pictures of middle-class blacks in Columbia, South Carolina in the 1920s and 30s, and we want you to have this for your personal life. Thank you. Very interesting. I came here only to thank you all for what you were doing for the White House. Looks like I'm being treated very well. I know, of course, this all started back in 1930 with President Hoover and 500 books, and in the 57 years since, it's been 3,600 books from all of you. I know that one among you is a winner of a very great recognition and award. Mr. Winkle. Martin Winkle, yes. That might happen. I appreciate it. Well, on behalf of the White House I want to thank you very much for all of that, but I also thank you very much for what you've done for me personally. We thank you for what you've done for the book, sir, and as I said before, we don't think the book has an equal and we appreciate the fact that you also think it's an equal. I'll have a little problem with that French while I enter. I had a couple of years of French in school very early, and then in 1949 I entered France for the first time in my life and I was myself driving with married couples and friends from England down across France to the Medi-Ring and discovered then they didn't know a word of French and we were coming to a town where we're going to have lunch and the question came up is how do we find the best place to eat? And I hadn't for a great many years harked back to my school days and any memories, but pretty soon as I began racking my mind I began and I got interested in the little town there was a gendarme and I said pull up and I rolled down the window and I said, why don't you take my cafe? I was very hungry and where was the best cafe and he told me my friend was driving said, what did he say? I said, I have to slide. Yes, I think now I'm going to have a chance to meet each of you individually with that page. Don't worry about that. Yes, sir. I think we ought to be looking that way one week. Thank you, Mr. President. Hello, Mr. President. I'm glad, sir. I know we only have a minute or two, but I don't think Mr. President, one question? Yes. How does it look like? I don't know. I don't know that I'm I must tell you this day I do vote for the inside I think Americans find the French presidential politics fascinating as our own to understand. I think you are. I must say this is do you think we'll further away than the first thing I said? We'll further away than the first thing you should know. Your hope? For a second step. I am determined to go forward with that. I hope that Mr. Gorbachev is not just going for propaganda or anything. I am a believer that the word would be better off if we could eliminate all of them. You think this is not a real propaganda? No, I think he's really got some reasons why it's important to him that he would like it. I think his economic situation is one that has been aggravated by their great military buildup and I don't think it's a case of someone having a change across or anything. I think he's an about believer in their system but I think he recognizes that it would be to his advantage in the things he wants to do internally there. Also, if you bring about a reduction imagine the first negotiation is won. Will it be signed? We're going to try. I tell you, I won't do what others have done in the past. I will not just sign an agreement to get an agreement. It has to be a workable, good one and fair to both sides. Thank you Mr. President. We are all. You know, I would like to follow your American presidential reaction. We are so concerned. We are so concerned. Well, thank you. It is good to see you. Thank you very much. Good luck. Thank you. Thank you sir. I'll see you a little later. Bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Good bye. Bye. Bye bye sir. My pleasure. Mr. President, let me introduce John Lamb. It is the great manager of the VA. Well, we are happy here. We appreciate you taking the time to have us input that. And we know how busy you have been. I better get a few more shots. I don't have a great Honority here. I'm surprised you're the middle Mr. President. Mr. President, I have a number of a bunch of veterans in the museum. Always in the middle, right? Thank you. No? Sir, I might suggest to you that these people are very, very supporters of yours and your policies. We've done a tremendous job for us. I know that and I'm going to thank you very much because I know the support you've given it will leave me. We've never needed it more than we need it right now. The bills are going through up there now and tying into the budget. Our bills would hang for a thousand times. No matter the fact that we're winning the negotiations over you. That's good. We can do this with those policies. You can count on that. That's it. Because they're cutting the budget right now from under the appropriation bill at the end of the month. You don't mind? Well, are you going to first lady? Well, thank you very much. Do you ever have a chance to get out west again? Put your good britches on. Listen, I have some little souvenirs for you just for your visit here. Key rings with the seal. Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate that. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure. Really, thank you. Thank you. I love you. We have a contest. You got it. You got it. We got quite an absentee program, too. So I bet we're going to work on it. Good. Mr. President, while Kruger was the number one television officer in Europe working with the Odess Air for some years, and I thought you wanted to know that. Sir, thank you for your time. Good to see you. Thank you. No video all the way, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Good to see you, sir. Definitely chief here at the White House. Nice to see you. I'd like to introduce the chief of medical and police community. Hi, Mr. President. Nice to meet you. I've got with me the assistant chief and president of the White House. Nice to see you. I'm George Rosen, the retired member of the medical and health department. And I'm Captain Kelly. Nice to see you. Mr. President, we just want to take time out and thank you for your leadership that you do in this country, and especially for the leadership that you give us in this city. And this is the 125th anniversary of the Metropolitan Police Department. And we just want to present to you a few tokens that I'll thank for your leadership. This is a baton. It's a token of the 125th anniversary. I can do this in a time. Yes. And you have immunity. And also, Mr. President, a badge, a 125th anniversary badge, and it's described on the back. This is just wonderful. Thank you very much. Incidentally, while the fans are being spoken here, I want to thank you all, too, for all the continued support every time I moved out of here. I know I upset you a little bit. I'm most grateful. I know all I feel is okay. We owe that to the number one person in this country. Thank you very much. I used to be able to spin it. I saw a couple of those westerns. Thank you so very much. I can't spin it. These can't match. They give you a key ring. Thank you so very much. Thank you. They're photographers. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you so very much. Thank you. You could not show the man's shot in the same movie shot. You either have to be on the man's shooting or be on the human scene and then cut back with a man with a smoking gun. I worked the work to get that poster out of the building. And then we saw the film. They had cut with him first and when they got back me, I'm just holding the smoking gun. Nobody saw me spinning the gun. Mr. President, you're running late but we need to do one group photo before you go.
