 I think this is a chance for one thing to get out of that damn congressional win that they will win. So that's all on the two sides at the moment. There are two or three other subjects that they're going into. They're going into things like the chain of command, whether we have too many commitments. None's article this morning that we have too many commitments. And we should trim our strategy to fit our resources, which is of course quite impossible. We've got to set our strategy to fit the threat, not our resources. But all of them... I think we're going to get our portrayal on that. Thank you Mr. President. This is the first meeting, as you mentioned. And we're looking forward to this council handling a wide range of policy initiatives. One of the things that will characterize the work of the council is its versatility, since we deal with everything from federalism to management and administration, energy, environment, natural resources, health, education, public assistance, privatization, regulatory reform, legal issues. So there will be a lot of things that will be coming our way for this council. Today, our specific topic that we're dealing with is a management and administration issue. And it has to do with the follow-on. If you remember, we had a meeting of the Cabinet Council on Management and Administration with you in which we talked about a number of management initiatives. Today, legislative purposes. And Joe Wright has a presentation to make which will describe the legislation we proposed to be set up. This was probably the most massive management legislative package that's been developed, at least since the Hoover Commission in 1950. So I'll turn it over to Joe. Okay, go ahead. Okay Mr. President, this is a follow-up on the discussion that we had. If you remember the first part of the year, and at the front of the briefing books that we handed out, we stated that what you've done is ask the, at that time, the Cabinet Council on Management and Administration to go and come back and flush out what those legislative initiatives were, and come up with something that during the second term could be a very positive, disciplined approach that is institutionalized on improving management in the federal government. And this is what the point task was to come up with. It's something that you can relax. It's nice to have good news for a while at one of these sessions. This is a good news presentation, and I want to show you what the focus came up with. We're going to need the lights down a little bit. Thank you very much. Mr. President, just thanking the gentlemen for their support of the tax reform proposal, and some of them have already tested by this morning as we discussed in the leadership meeting. I've just gotten to the point that I was going to tell them that we were, as we discussed in the meeting with the Republican Congressional leadership this morning, we're pleased with the initial response we received to the proposal. We're pleased with the launch. We're particularly pleased with the fact that we think we've got pretty strong bipartisan support, and without it, we're not going to have tax reform. I don't think that we're naive in the sense of underestimating the magnitude of the job ahead, because it's going to be substantial, particularly as people isolate a particular provision and zero in on it, and we anticipate that there'll be a lot of that. Unlike some of the other initiatives that the President has undertaken, this isn't something that's going to move in a space of 30 to 60 days. Because of the magnitude of the job, there's going to be an extended period here where we go into a hearing process. The President's already been out on the road supporting the proposal, back out on the road this week, and we have a period there where there's a great deal of visibility and attention, and then we'll go into the hearing process. And then as we move out of the hearings and into Markup in September and October, we fully expect to see a substantial increase then in the visibility of the proposal. I think it's also a commentator, critics of planning. If you've got a provision you want to change, come on in and let us hear from you. Let's hear from you during the course of the legislative process. We're interested in keeping the maximum rate of an open and seeing that rise no higher than 35 percent, and we're interested in revenue and challenge. So if you're not going to add to what Jim has just said, I know that you've been up on a hill testifying, and I'd like to add my thanks for your coming down here. You know, it's probably time that maybe you haven't had time to study our tax reform proposal, but I'm sure you have familiarized yourself quite an extent with it. It isn't perfect, as Jim has said, but we believe that it'll work and that we can surpass it. And we also, I add to that having been out on the road for a few days in addition to the polls that we have seen, and the people obviously do support this, and I'll be on my way again tomorrow morning. We all know the shortcomings of the present system. It's unfair. It's a hindered technological investment. It impedes economic growth. It does all the things that we've been blaming it for. You supported our efforts in 81 when we reduced taxes, and while we didn't reverse the spending increase of government, at least we cut back on the rate of increase in spending, and certainly we reduced considerably the paperwork and the regulations that government was imposing on everyone. The results speak for themselves. Over 30 months now we've had the unprecedented growth in the economy. We've had more people, a higher percentage of the working pool employed than at any time in our previous history. Low inflation rates, interest rates falling, and all our trading partners and our allies, and even some of our unfriendly types out there are kind of envious of what we've done. And now thanks to your efforts, maybe we'll have an opportunity to finish the job of providing and securing economic good health for America. But there's an army of lobbyists. Maybe you saw some of them up there on the hill and special interests that are dug in and they're firing every weapon they own. But I think maybe you've shown them that there are loyal soldiers on the right side who can fire a few cellbos themselves. Together we can brighten the future for our children and our grandchildren. And I'm glad and proud that the American business community has statesmen like yourselves who are willing to come up here and do what you've done in support of this. And now, as I said, I'm supposed to leave you and turn you back over to Jim and to Don Reagan and discuss some other specific provisions that directly concern you. And again, I'll say thanks to you for coming down here. Thank you. Mr. President, some of the 1981 tax proposals which you just talked about are repealed in this new proposal. How do you justify that? Well, I think that that would simply mean that we did what we could in that particular time knowing that there was more really that should be done and this just shows that we're continuing to improve. How are you going to say, sir, that you must answer the problem? I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sometimes I answer, sometimes I...
