 Oh, Mr. President, I'd like to see you. So you remember my wife there? Can I present my daughter, Mamie, there, my son, Brent? Yes. This is my daughter, my wife. And I'm her husband, but I'm her husband's wife. I'm her husband's wife. I'm her husband's wife. I'm her husband's wife. I'm her husband's wife. I'm my husband's wife. I'm not sure I'm mad, but I did the constant. Oh, well, I think we'll do this. I think there's some cool to talk with the president. I'll get the same thing happen. New appearance. Oh, right. Let's wait for that next wait for a second. All right. That's a very good advice. As soon as we get set here, we're going to bring them in. You want to have the family of Tom? No, no, this will be fine. Yes. I was going to say that. Change is your opinion in the Marine Corps when you have it. You had to change your opinion. A little bit. All right, sir. I'm going to raise my right hand so you can hear after me. I, William Cross, I, William Day County, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. That I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to hold it. So help me God. Congratulations, sir. Thanks a lot. Why do we get a family of these? I really hate that. Appreciate that. Thanks. Big moment for my family, Mr. President. Big moment for you all. Thank you. Who aims to see you? I've got to find out where they put things. Find out. Find out. It's going to be too much. It's going to be too much. Yes. So that you can pick them instead of them. All right. All right. That's what it was for. That's what it was for. That's what it was for. Just so we can have a family of these. You heard. So that's what you have to do here. It's all this, maybe. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Thank you all very much. And Jack Hume and the president of our citizens for America, lives there. I want to thank both of them for all that they have done and have been doing, but all of you, the members of CFA and the founding members in the Jefferson Circle, without you our many accomplishments would never have been possible. Inflation has been 2.5 percent for the last four months. I don't know whether anyone has ever explained to you that the total potential labor force is considered to be all men and women in the United States between the ages of 16 and 65, and today the highest percentage of that force that is employed is the highest that it has ever been in our nation's history. And you might be interested to know I got some of the latest figures yesterday also on our volunteer military. 91 percent high school graduates in the military now, the highest high school graduates the military has ever had, even in the days of the draft. Yesterday I was at the ceremony for the goodbye of the day before yesterday of Jack Vessy, our joint chiefs of staff general who was leaving and it was a most impressive military ceremony, and I looked at those young fellows standing there in uniform and as they marched by and I thought, why didn't we keep Chevron Nazi here for that ceremony? Four years ago there were only $39 million in venture capital available in the United States. As of last year there was $4 billion of venture capital available. Now I know that you've made your top priorities this year, tax reform and SDI, the Strategic Defense Initiative, and we're most grateful for that on both of them, but I'm just going to tell you something I've been suggesting around our shop. Senator Kennedy's line about calling it Star Wars, picked up immediately by all of the press, isn't very descriptive of what we're talking about. We're talking about a non-nuclear defense that kills weapons not people. So we've just been talking about maybe starting to use in our discussions of this, you might find it that you'd enjoy it yourself that what we're talking about and what we're researching is a strategic space shield. You please keep it up with all that you're doing in support. Now I haven't mentioned one other thing that I think is the top priority in everybody's mind, the deficit. Well good Lord, I was talking about it 30 years ago out on the mashed potato circuit. We've run in a deficit for more than 50 years now and just turned out here in our shop we've been talking about instead of just each year greeting the budget and trying to whittle it down and eventually get to a balanced budget, why not a long-term program that is aimed on a declining deficit because there's no way you could eliminate this deficit in one year anymore and have a government down here and at the end of that period where you've reached the balanced budget by implementing this plan you then have a constitutional amendment requiring from then on a balanced budget. Well this morning the Congressional Republican leadership, the House and the Senate were over and in the last few days we discovered that without our ever saying anything at all about what we're talking about down here outside the shop while we talk about it there are two Republican senators, Senators Graham and Rudman up on the hill and they must have been extrasensory perception maybe both directions but they are talking about a plan very similar and we are now going to be talking together about all this kind of subject matter. Incidentally speaking about these defenses and this shield and all, one of our, well the man who is in charge now, our UN delegation, General Vernon Walters, former general, he has been in China and he found that there they were a little unfriendly toward our strategic plan of defense and one of them said to him, we have a question we ask here in China. He said if a man perfects a spear that can pierce anything and then meets a man who has perfected a shield that can resist anything, what happens? And General Walters said I don't know the answer to that but he said I do know that if a man who has perfected a spear that can pierce anything meets a man who doesn't have a shield, I know what happens. Well I've talked long enough or too long and I'm going to go down the hall here to the blue room because then I know I'm going to have an opportunity to greet each one of you and say hello individually and so I'll go down there.
