 Mr. President! Mr. President, who won the debate last night? Who won the debate? The Times would decide to have it, but add a $250 billion to the Times' defense spending. How did he do that with you? Mr. John Burns, related in spirit, I said. Thank you very much, all the people that you're doing right. Well, listen, thank you for all that you're doing. Mr. Tom Gard? The President has held an honor's privilege from you. Mr. George Baker? I know you know Mr. Clement Stone. So? Yeah. I couldn't get better. Your CV program is on Sunday, over at the other box. Well, thank you very much. Ciaran Graves? Honored to meet you, sir. Pleased to meet you. Good to serve you. Zabi Lewis? Brian Volkler? Honored to meet you. I am honored to meet all of you. John Reid? Mr. President, hello there. Thank you. Dionne Knighton? Honored to meet you, Mr. President. Hello. See you. Jeremiah Milbank? Mr. President, I am here once again for this great occasion. Sean Dufresne? It's good to meet you. See you. Chad McBride? Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you. See you, Nanny. Mr. Ralph McCormick? Hello. See you. Angela Thomas? Hello there. See you. And the winner this year, Mr. Taylor Kruitt? Well, my congratulations to you. OK. OK, everybody gather around. That's right. Ralph? And then you're on Mr. Kruitt. Ralph, can you do the mic? Yeah. Good. I think all of these young people, these are the finalists. I think that all of them set an example for all of us to finally get the community service that they rendered. But I'm now going to present to the winner, Taylor Kruitt, of the Cabrera's County Boys Club, this plaque, The National Youth of the Year, chosen from more than 1 million members of the Boys Club of America, in recognition of outstanding achievements in citizenship and leadership, as illustrated in a commitment of voluntary service to family, friends, and community, and the Boys Clubs of America. Mr. President, we, the Youth of the Year, and the five Regents of the United States, would like to present to you this autographed football and deep appreciation for your service as our Chief Executive and Honorary Chairman of the Board for the Boys Clubs of America. Well, thank you very much. I'm proud to have this football as I had a very important place in my life, and still is in my heart, if not my legs. Congratulations to all of you. The example that you've set. Mr. President. Mr. President, it's my honor to present to you our report of the Boys Clubs of America that describes how we're going to grow from our present service level to serve 2 million youngsters by the year 1991. And that will mean 2 million more taxpayers instead of 2 million more welfare recipients. Well, thank you very much. I look forward to it. Thank you, Jerry. I think that all of you are supposed to move in for a group of staff. We all have to get close so we can get everybody in the picture. Yes, thank you. We'll move in a little bit. Everybody move in a little bit closer. And I think this gentleman here, I'm losing behind the winner. If you move just a little bit, she'll drive in each of the gentlemen, perfect. That's great. Let me start there, perfect. Great. We have to get our judge down and get to the right time, or perhaps you could switch places with that young man. Perfect. Perfect, that's great. OK, thank you. Great. Well, thank you all again for your services. You're back in the other room. I was going to tell you something I can't resist. The group picture was kind of really sick of my words. And it gave us a beat. In my first decade of active lessons in comic, there's been forever to monitor a great start in any group photo of Hollywood celebrities. Always put an angle in the middle of the end. Finally, one day, I couldn't resist being a newcomer. I said, why? Great start, I like it. Why are you? He said, no one reads all the names under the caption in the caption. So they always begin. Well, thank you all very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, now are you. Dr. Segers? Mr. President? Dr. Margaret Segers. Good morning, Mr. President. Good to meet you. Thank you. I have a chance to say that I know that seven years of hard work for you and your staff, that you see with this report I'm going to get today, you made it possible. Yeah, go ahead. The staff of Santa Meyers? I've heard it all about before. Mr. President, hello there. I'm going to see you. I'm going to see you. And we hope we can follow up with another lady. Well, all of you started with my condolences. I'm going to say I'm going to put that forward to that. And where is Mel? There. Mel, they're here. They should see if we can arrange that. Thank you very much. Mr. Chris Bradley? Mr. President, thank you for all of you doing the United Negro Connect. Well, thank you. Dr. Pizzo Robinson? Good to see you, sir. Nice to see you. Dr. Pizzo Robinson? Mr. President, ladies from the Dominican Republic, College of Tona Beach, Florida? Dr. Michael Radick? President, now that you're here, you're going to help your colleagues for a few years. Thank you very much. They're doing well. Ms. Lynette Moorhead? Ms. Regina Miller? I'm from the Dominican College, and it's wonderful to meet you. Nice to see you. Ms. Janet Twersey? Hello there. Good to see you. I think we're all together. We've got a picture here. Good to see you, sir. I can see you. Stand here. And we have a few more. I just have four of you. I don't know until we get some talk for a second. I'll put it on the side. That would be great. And we have four of you. Why don't you sign it? I think you got it on the right side there. The university that you will represent. I think you have performed very great. I think we wanted to say thank you on behalf of all of you like how this is, and to give some ideas about it in the next few months so we can enshrine this industry. You're the executive order department. Thank you very much. Well, 3-2-0. Yes. Mr. President, when you signed executive order 1-2-3-2-0 on September 15, 1981, you said, I do not want this to go into the sand never to be heard from again. This is a memento of a magnificent outstanding accomplishments of your administration for the nation's historic black colleges and universities. It is given to you with love, with appreciation, and for your commitment and your leadership. Well, Vice-Chairman, thank you very much, but I know how much work is represented in this by all of you, you and your staff particularly. I appreciate that very much. I'm very pleased and proud of we've been able to do anything for such a cause. Thank you. I shall look forward to going through this report. See, I happen to be in a way one of you because I am an honorary member of the Tuskegee Flyers. And, you know, for an ex-horse cavalry officer. Well, bless you all, and thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. Thank you for working with us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I see you. Mr. President, how are you? I see you. Mr. President. Here's John, how you back here? I'm fine back here. How are you? I'm good. I see you again. Can I slip you something, a little contribution I want to make to the... Your institution. That was my hope. Thank you very much. That's great. Mr. President, I'm allowed to say some words on behalf of my colleagues. We would like to thank you very much, Mr. President, that you give us the opportunity to see you here at the White House. And on behalf of the Board of Directors, I have to say of the German Association of Better Hearing. And I think this is a non-profit organization just very similar to the Better Hearing Institute here in the United States. And this was started 22 years ago and we aimed for the public increase of public awareness of all the people who are hearing problems. They have to go through every day, unfortunately, and also to show the possibilities how to get better hearing. And then 13 years ago it was, I think, 1975. The Graham Bell Medal was... Alexander Graham Bell Medal was inaugurated at that time from our association in order to give honor to some individual persons since that time only five individual persons were honored with the award for their extraordinary distinguished work for hearing impaired people. And, as you know, Alexander Graham Bell was such an outstanding person. He was a teacher for hearing impaired persons. And when he inaugurated the telephone, I think it must be the late 1817s, he found out that people who telephone much better understand other people than just by a normal conversation in a room. And then he started and devised the first hearing, eight. That must have been 1870. So that started 110 years ago, more than 110 years ago. So we are very much honored that you could accept our medal, Graham Bell. And if you allow me, I would like to read the text shortly. The text is in German language, but fortunately we have also a translation added in English language, so if you allow me to read that shortly. Certificate of achievement in honor and remembrance of the service and contributions of Alexander Graham Bell in advancing the field of hearing rehabilitation, did the Association for Better Hearing from the Federal Republic of Germany create the Alexander Graham Bell Medal. We hereby award this medal to Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America in recognition of his role in raising the cause of better hearing internationally. His commitment to increasing public awareness of the opportunities for better hearing, which are available today. His personal and positive example in bringing a message of hope and encouragement to millions of hearing impaired individuals and their families worldwide. Association for Better Hearing Federal Republic of Germany, September 1988. Thank you very much. Mr. President, I speak the English and not good. And therefore I speak German. We are proud that you accept this award. I personally congratulate you very, very warmly on this award and I also bring to you the greetings of the members of the International Association for Better Hearing from West Deutschland. Mr. President. Well, thank you very much. Thank you all. And I may give you this medal. Congratulations. Do you have a message for the German hearing impaired people? Well, thank you very much. I'm very pleased and proud and I don't feel deserving at all. I'm so grateful for what people have done for me with my problem because another actor didn't know what to do with a gun. I was right up by my ear and shot it, making a picture. Then things began to happen there, but I am most grateful to you. Yeah. Where? Any place? You know the progress that has been made and I can tell you a little story about the previous profession that I was in, show business. And there was a gentleman once with one of those battery and had to run the volume up here and so forth on a train. Great comedian, comic team. The Ritz Brothers. Very sharp comedians. And in the club car, his man came over and he wanted to, he was a great fan. Larry, step a little to your right there. Jim. Ruth Keller. Jonathan Keller. Jay Keller. Mr. Jeff Keller. I've been living after four years. That's a long time. Not long enough. I've been having a little pain now. Why don't we get your family in here for a little while? You certainly should be between us. Oh, okay. Why don't you get one son and lead a son? Okay, how's that? Great. Everybody can look right here. Make a smile. You too, Jim. Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I'm going to miss you, but I wish you well. Sir, we're going to miss you. It's going to be a pleasure to serve you. Souvenirs. Pleasant surprise. There. There. Thank you. Sir, thank you and all the best to you and thank you for all you've done for the country and for the military. We certainly do appreciate it. It's been a pleasure, sir. Thanks. I'm all right. Jim is going to work for the Army Surgeon General. He's going to be his consultant for position assistance and has a lot of projects that he's going to be working on. That's great. John just brought the Surgeon General in, I think, about six weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago. Right. Can we ask one favor? Sure. My son has a picture of Black Magazine or of you in Black Magazine like we decided to see. This is kind of a foundation. Was that the one we did? One was a year ago? This is for you. My name is Jay. Jay. Jay. All right. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. You have something you'd like to see? One more time. One more time. I don't know, John. Well, I can't be decreasing. It's for the deficit, sir. It's for the deficit. Where would you like to have that? Wherever. I guess, whatever. All right. And you're Jonathan. John. Is that J-O-H-N or J-O-M? J-O-M. I guess over here. You're still holding that. All right. Thanks a lot. No pleasure. Thank you for your time. It was very nice to meet you, sir. Thank you. Very nice to meet you, sir. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Have a good day.
