 play a personal role in directing the artistic development of our country. I know that each of you has taken a personal interest in the Smithsonian and that this great national institution could not fulfill its mission without your assistance. This year I understand that thanks to your direct support the Smithsonian was able to obtain a pair of Shinto sculptures of the Freer Gallery and a carol mille sculpture of the Herschel and also, due to your efforts, the National Portrait Gallery obtained a glass plate negative with Abraham Lincoln by Alexander Godfrey. These and many more projects over the years have added new depth to the Smithsonian and all of you can be very proud of being part of a very special team. I know that you've also contributed the construction fund for the Quadrangle, the Smithsonian's new museum complex. This project and the other efforts that you are making will live long after we're gone. It's your message to future citizens and it speaks well of you and this generation of Americans. I heard a story recently about a fellow who got the wrong message. Businessman, so successful that he was opening up a new branch and a friend thought that he'd send a floral arrangement for the grand opening. When he got there, the friend was shocked to find that the wreath delivered before the inscription, rest in peace. The way home he stormed into the flower shop to complain and the florist said, well just look at it this way, somewhere today someone was buried beneath the wreath that said, good luck in your new location. Seriously, the legacy that you're leaving your children is a better America, an America that is more aware of cultural values that make living more than mere existence. And I thank you for what you've done and Dylan would never forgive me if I didn't say and I didn't encourage you to do more, so I will. But thanks for being here today and God bless you all. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. All you gotta do is go to the source for listening and that answer on that. Mr. Chairman, it is good to have the chance to be there with you today at the Northeastern Republican Leadership Conference. I trust the meeting is going well. I think we should congratulate Jerry Hurley, who's the Northeast Chairman in putting together such a successful gathering. As Chairman Farrenkoff mentioned the President will make remarks and then take your questions. Well, good morning and my greetings to you all. I'm delighted to speak with you about our challenge for 84 and how I know we can and will work together for victory. Back to the mess from before. And let's make sure that people remember that. Indeed a real mess was dumped in our labs. When we arrived in Washington we felt a little like Noah must have felt the morning he left the ark to begin all over again. It's been an uphill battle ever since to reduce Washington's hammer lock on our economy. It's nice to see you. It's a great pleasure to be here. I'm hoping that you're going to leave because I've been late and I was late. Well, not there. This is pretty much on schedule. It's nice to be to be here. Well, I know the President you're sitting here. When have you taken over dinner? You're right.
