 Our guest today is President Togo. Very pleased and honored to have you here. The President will do it in a little bit. Mr. President, did the Soviets have any role in the attack in Beirut yesterday? I can't take questions here on this. Thank you, Mr. President. President, have you or will you ask for Israeli assistance now on this? I can't take questions now on this. I think there will be plenty of opportunities. Are relations with Togo good? Very good. I'm most supported. Who answered a question? Who answered? Well, it was pertinent to this situation. Hi, President. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Someone here will come through and there it is. We'll just do it there. You can only end my life. And Max, you do go back. Grab back. Just don't compare with that. That's the way it's supposed to be. That's the way it's supposed to be. No, I don't think you're going to do it. He says you're going to do it. He says you're going to do it. Can I bring that into you? Yes. There it is right there. There's already a Harry Jackson. There's one that's borrowed from Mack Baldritch. He makes that point. He makes that point. He makes that point. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. You can't remember because you've got too much of a mind. We were standing close together and the man said, Jackson, if you move a step away, you're hiding the wrong. And I said, I don't know if it's wrong, I could never do that. With the boss and you were the one that I thought about it about. That's the one that I do know is you don't get the courage to pertain. And you were so happy about it that I wanted to get a copy of that. And it says on here, sir, it says on here, we've dedicated this to you. For President Ronald Reagan. For hanging tough your friends, Juddine and Harry Jackson. Thank you very much, sir. This is a book I want to show you. I brought this along for you. Don't let him show it to you. Make him give it to you. I'm going to give it to you. I got it, but I wanted to make it work for you there for a minute. Anyway, this is a great honor. It's portraits of 5,000 years of Western civilization, starting with Nefertiti and Egypt. And, uh, you know, cracks. No, no, no, this is a brand new one. This is one of the ones that was kind of a national one for about three years. And it starts with Nefertiti and it goes through all the greats, all the history, like all the Renaissance, greats, okay? And right at the end of this, there's a, hey, it ends with this. And this is what I wrote to you on here. Thank you very much. You're welcome. But that's, uh, well, there it is. And I recognize the future of this where it has to go. That's right over here in the library. Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you for your time. Very, very great. Well, I just, I called him and he is up and going out there and told me he'd seen some tragic sites, but then he also told me, he said, but those young men, he said, they're morale and they're a spirit so hot. Very pleased to hear. He has a 21-foot pole. He has a 21-foot statue that I just seen of John Wayne. It goes up in Beverly Hills. 21 feet. That's a 21-foot. And it's got a rotate. It's got a rotate 24 hours a day. And it's, I, I, uh, We'd be seen as just a half hour, like a half hour documentary on this sculpture. Can we put this together? Please. Thank you very much. I have to tell you one more thing. I want to shout, maybe. Thank you very much. No, no, that's not a funny story. The Duke and I, before we'd ever gotten well acquainted, like you always were with anyone and all, we'd been well acquainted. And I was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and it was the time, the only time, we ever had to have a strike. We called a strike. We didn't want, but it was just forced on us. And of course, some days, the abuse in the press, me as president of the Guild, was worse than others. And, uh, I came home one day, and Nancy told me, every day when that press was real bad, and I say, we weren't good friends, that are you might have expected. The phone would ring in the morning, and it would be Duke Wayne to talk to Nancy, and tell her, the thought she might like to hear the voice of a friend, and not to be upset by this. Keeping her, keeping her. They go a rough talk. He was a mark, people don't think, it might sound like it could be that sensitive, as one of the most loyal, respectful, yeah, marvellous, people that you know. I would like to bring all of my brothers and sisters, right over here. I appreciate this one. Well, I appreciate it. Please give her mine. The last person. Thank you. Thank you for the time. Pleasure. I'll get up with the other boat for something. How you doing? Glad to see you. Zucca. President. Thank you. All right. Step down. All right. Maybe Jim wants to get one by the step. I'd rather have Jim. You're her hero. You've stepped in, Ben. You get one by the step. I met you in Birmingham during the campaign last time. I got it, that's right. We were upstairs with Jeremiah Denton. Yeah, yes. Well, you're just a little souvenir. Well, thank you so much. Thanks for the presentation, Chris. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Good to see you. We'll be back in a minute with Nancy. Yes, Mr. President, Mrs. Cuyers is being very helpful to us on the witness issue. I know. Well, I wanted to give it a little more privacy. And I want to give a few words and a lot of relatives, too. Back in. That's all right. We've got 1,700 people working for us in the government. We can't do anything about it. That's right, Mr. President. We can't get on the job situation. See, I might just follow all your problems. I don't know. You've got a two-minute problem. No, no, no. I pray as a review, I tell you, you've really got a moment. Yes. Coming back in the middle of the night, and I thought you made a very excellent statement. And you know what? It isn't one where there's a fiction. It's a terrorist group. It's a terrorist group that kind of just know back in the population. You'll never know. We're pretty sure we know what the real deal is. It's all circumstantial evidence, but we believe it's the same element that did this to our embassy last April. Thank you, Mr. President. We hope we can do something to be sure that nobody will try to do this as soon as we're trying to do it. That's what we need to do for about a year. She's all percived until she gets a little bit of your time. It's all right with me. I'm going to really try to prove to the man that I want to change the country, and I'm convinced of that. I really do. I'm very sensitive. Well, make sure that happens. Mr. President. Hi. How do you do? I'm very proud of you. Thank you. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Mr. President. Mr. President, these people want to demonstrate to you one thing, the National Federation of the Blind wants to share with you the notion that blind people are not necessarily as handicapped as many sighted people believe they are, they can be less dependent on them. Oh, listen, why don't I just get a picture over here? Mr. President, we'd like to suggest you dedicate one of your five minute radio shows to some of the things that blind people can do also. Mr. President, let me say this to you, I believe we have the distinction, first, we are the largest organization of the disabled in this country with 50,000 plus members. I believe we are the only organization in this country of the disabled that has not come out in print attacking this administration. Now, it suggests something that there could be a dispelling of the notion that there is a solid phalanx of the disabled in opposition to this administration if there was somebody with enough imagination to do it. I think we can find the imagination. I think you're messing with her. Well, it's very awesome. Thank you, sir. Well, I just resumed a walk across the country and when I was reading and kicking track of that, I couldn't help but wonder a lot of things like what I think it is such a thing that you've done and just what was being talked about here, how much attention this has brought to this very thing. Mr. President, I went up to Baltimore to meet him when he came in and I can tell you he looks tireder now than he did after a 3,000 mile walk. Mr. President, you had seven pairs of shoes. Well, yeah, but it was not only the fatigue and everything, but all the things, the strange parts of the world and so forth, and what happened at the end of the day and the hiking? I crawled in my motorhome and died. That's how it is. I'm not fine here. I wasn't with him this time. My wife and children were with me for the first half of the trip and then I had two friends as drivers a second half and they were five to ten miles ahead and I'm down the road. What we were doing up there, Mr. President, was real simple. We were trying to demonstrate in a graphic way that for blind people all over this country that if we use the tools that we learned to use like a cannon, a dog, a braille, all the things that we need, all we ask is open the door and we'll get it ourselves. We don't need a handout, we just need a hand. It's as simple as that. Mr. President, over here was just saying yes to all of you. I'm hard and sore with you and that's because I feel that what we need in this country is a crusade to say with regard to any person with any physical handicap that the answer is rehabilitation. Everyone is capable as you all are proven of living very useful lives and we've got to make that the rule in what we try to accomplish. But Mr. President, we don't necessarily mean or rather need more money and more bureaus to do it because there is a common notion that the more money you spend, the better service you get. That isn't necessarily true. What we really need is a redirection of the money we have and there are ways to do it, mostly as some of the bureaus have built bigger and bigger. They've looked inward, not outward. They've gone to more conferences and written more papers and talked to each other. And we know because there's been a distinction, well there's been no distinction made between service providers as they're called or professionals and organizations of consumers, of blind people. That's your speech Mr. President. Yes. This is exactly what I mean. In Idaho, the agency is working very closely with the blind and trying to do, well as a blind person, I had that agency. So we're trying to get the things that the blind are asking for. We don't find that that's always the case across the country and we want this administration to succeed in its effort to cut the costs of handouts and to increase opportunities. Mr. President, we're right in tune with your philosophy that very often the government works against the people. And we know that it works against blind people, federal as well as the state. And we think we can teach the government a way of working with the blind people if we can get the opportunity to do so. We've got to get people in this administration to really hear us and to let us help to reform those programs. We know how those reforms can be made if we get the opportunity. Dr. Jernigan over here knows how they can be made and our organization does. I guess I've got one more thing to say Mr. President. First I have the chance to speak to a President of the United States and I'm grateful to have that chance. But what we really are up against is this. We have trouble being heard because once an administration comes in there is such a big bureaucracy that when people start talking about advocates for the disabled they go right back to the same bureaucracy which failed in the previous administration and the one before that and all the rest of them. We are not heard as an organization yet we're the most active. I think we're as articulate as anybody else in this country. We came here with a different idea as a matter of fact. There are almost 75,000 fewer of those bureaucrats than there were when we came here two and a half years ago. But you're right what happens with a government aid program too often is once it develops an administration and those people begin to see their careers as dependent on the clients of that program then their effort becomes preserve the bureaucracy never mind helping people become independent of that program. But when I was governor of California I'm very proud of the fact that we moved up from 13th among the states to 3rd among the states in the rehabilitation and the putting a lot of people out in useful occupations proving that there wasn't any handicap that a person could not be independent. And I'm heart and soul with that and we'll do our best and we'll be pleased to work with you. Mr. President, thank you very much for your time. I came up through my whole life through the other way and I've been blind most of my life. I was ashamed of it. I didn't have the skills or the confidence. The philosophy of the National Federation of the Blind, which is blind people themselves sharing simply their experience, their strength, their hope and their willingness to work not for a handout but for just being people with human dignity is what made me feel good about a blind person and that's why I walked across this country to say I'm comfortable with it, I can do it, just give us a chance and we can do it a day at a time and a seven at a time. I had a question. No one came up there. Are you wearing the shirt upside down for a reason? I have no idea what's even on there. I just turned it around because upside down the flag is a distress signal. Oh, I'm a distress signal. Thank you so much. Well, thank all of you. Thank you. Thank you.
