 You've got to stop eating like this. President, this is Bill Pierce. Thank you very much. John O'Fall? It's O'Fall. Peggy Sewell? Father George Clements. Thank you, Father. You're welcome. Sir Edgar Naylor? And Congressman Tom Boyle. Hi. How are you? It's a pleasure. Thank you. And Marygall, who is chair of the President. Nice to see you. Good to see you. Okay. Is there no honor, sir? Get a few other seats. Okay, that's good. Everybody get right in there. Everybody. Nice. I think I've memorized Mr. President. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I must say, I just think this is... Oh, the pictures. It's an accomplishment also. Thank you. I can't do it as of now. I'm a military family. Those elderly people. People with disabilities and so forth. Mr. President, we really appreciate your administration for this report because this is the first time in the history of any administration that there has been a focus on adopting children in this country and children who need homes. And we appreciate what you've done in pointing this task force. Marygall, with your leadership, has done a fantastic job. And we really appreciate you and what you've done. Thank you very much. We're going to continue to the President. It's a pleasure. Thank you. We're so glad you put the children on the cover. This tells the whole story. Thank you for that. And they are waiting. That's right. This says so much. This is just beautiful. Joe is going to bring you five more. Would you like some more, Joe? They said no to us. We had a city group of five all said to me. Well, I remember once when I was governor about every other week the State Department of Education had arranged that they could bring a class and some high school students from the State Department kids that hadn't gotten their hands up in time or any other questions. And one day I'll never forget in that post-period the whole circuit had been taken up in the matter of avoiding the work wanted and so forth. And I said it about the millions of people that were waiting for a child for adoption and so forth. And all of a sudden a nice looking girl raised her hand like this tentatively. She had a nice question and I said, would you ask a question? And on the air it was not on the table. It was so wonderful. She capped it all. She said, I am a doctor. She said, I love my parents. This is marvelous. I love the children. It's just beautiful. He's an icon. Nice to see you. Mr. Robert Stern. And Steve Noros. Let me put you right inside the present. This is a better story than ever because this young man was rescued from a classroom where he was considered to be not people dealing with work. He received his services from a private sector rehabilitation agency which earned its own money, Goodwill. He's going to work and he works for an A76 contractor which is part of your administration. I don't know the answer to that. We do appreciate all the help the administration has given us. We've doubled our size and our productivity in the last five years and the economy has helped us do that. We helped 86,000 people like Tori this year and that's what the real payoff is. In fact he was in Social Security before you. He's only 20 years old. He's had three promotions. As a car, a girlfriend. More could you want in life. He's a great inspiration to a lot of people. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. He said a very nice thing at the end of the day. He's an inspiration. Good to see you. Good to see you, sir. Thank you, sir. Mr. Roger Putnam? Mr. President, hello. You had a great dinner last evening. That was great. We're going to try to get a group mixer here, guys. We're too far. The scientists are just delighted and very proud. Super job. Yes, sir. These gentlemen here were a really great place to visit. Not gentlemen like these great Americans. Thanks, sir. It's also not your last better place to live in. I know. They're on your side. Incidentally, I know that you've been on the side of our administration. You're a strength. Thank you, guys. Sir, these gentlemen say you need more of a health issue. I think we're going to get our own stuff. President? You only made cats. Well, I think we do some business first, and then we'll enjoy this. I'm just kidding. You're as nice, sir. Well, thank you. It was great fun. Emotional. You'll join the bottom of the present. I'll sign it, too. I know that the ratification was the result of strong, bipartisan efforts and part of business, government, and labor. Good for you. That's great. It's 1953. That's the first year I bring this about. Thank you, Mr. President. The cooperation between government, business, and labor. Yeah, we're going to get convention 8 and 7 up. It means they can go to Geneva in June and talk to the polls and say, all right, we've signed conventions. You have to want to buy fun. I mean, it's okay. It's very, very fun. It's a very, very charming pose. It's just great. Thank you. I appreciate you doing this. It's great. June, we're due to go June 10th, and then I'll be out. Well, this first? This June? And then I'm going back to Geneva for the ILO meetings. Yeah, I guess you have a hundred seen what you got there, couldn't you? Yes, sure. I was a little terrified. I was thinking the June after this. No, no, no. No, I'm on your team. Thank you. We appreciate it. You're welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And here, these are number 144 and then 147. I wrote my dissertation on how we came to join the ILO. It was the only organization we need to join. Right? No, no. We're trying to leave it off of the world for quite a bit. Well, I've got something very special for you now. This would have gotten to you a lot faster if Grober Cleveland, Alexander, was in the club. You know that, right? You had to know that. He had it one time in a club. That's right. Before the war, World War I. How long was he? How long was he? Well, I don't know, but I know that Wrigley provided a salary to his wife all the time they gave him service. I didn't even know that. I don't know that. This I recovered from MGM, this UR, and you can tell it's so much nicer. It's so much nicer. I mean, that's got to look great. Can you do that? Let's see how that would look. It's still fit. It still fits. Grober Cleveland, Alexander, you know, that was a great story that we had. I had never forgave Jack Warner for not letting them use the word epilepsy. He was an epileptic. Why wouldn't they let you? Well, we'd done a picture earlier. In fact, I was in a H.G. Wells story, and it wasn't too successful. If we blamed that, we shouldn't have used the word. Oh, for crying out loud. But one of the things that Grober Cleveland, Alexander, that famous incident when he was picked up in the gutter in Chicago. And accused of being drunk. And the judge publicly dressed him down for setting such a terrible example. And he would stand there and allow that to be done as the basis that he was drunk, rather than admit that he'd had epilepsy. Is that really true? Yeah. Oh, I didn't even know that. And they wouldn't allow Warner to not allow the use of the word? So we just in the picture, and the truth was that a lot of the sports press that didn't know it, it was one of the best kept secrets in sports. Oh, I didn't know that. And about the epilepsy, everybody knew him as a drunkard, so forth. Yeah. And the result was that all we just kind of referred to it as a kind of a, you know, a nervous thing, a seizure that he would have. And a lot of the sports press accused us of trying to whitewash him by pretending that he had this other thing. Where if we'd used the word epilepsy, they would have known that it had to be true. Was that, did he carry that all the way? I mean, that was until he, that was not a known fact until afterwards. As a matter of fact, the original script was changed around because they were going to begin with a flashback to a body in the morgue. He was picked up in Long Beach, California. And he had died in the street. And he had cancer, and it was cancer of the year. And we had his widow. The first time I ever told Mrs. Wrigley that the part I was playing and what we were making, Mrs. Wrigley said, you do have the romance, don't you? Because his, that love affair that he and Amy, his wife, was so great. He once, in order to have a weekend with her during the season, he pitched both games of a double header and won both of them so that he could have a day off to take Amy on a little vacation. That's high romance. I was an unbelievable character. I came through and I was, you had a lot of folks coming in beforehand and everything. And I came through and I saw Dottie Dellinger I hadn't seen her in over a year, because from Santa Monica and so on. And I just don't get by that often, even though I've been in the administration since quite 82 or something like that. But I wanted you to be sure to get this. Because I thought it would be very... This will go in a presidential library. Yes. Well, I thank you for giving it up. It took a lot. I didn't want to. I didn't want to give it up. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, I'm more than happy to give it to you. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Oh, I have something for you. That's actually not for you. This is for your bride. And it's just a note from mine. So that's all it is. Now you make sure you deliver that. All right? I'll tell you a little episode in this. You know, after he'd gotten the start in the major leagues, then he was hit in the head with a ball. And he ended up with double vision. He saw two of everything. Well, he kept trying and experimenting to see if he couldn't, you know, get back. And he did eventually. But at one time, he tried out with a minor league team, Galesburg. And he thought, you know, if he closed one high, that maybe it would work. So the manager got up on the plate of this team and said, well, okay, throw me something. And with the first pitch, he broke three of the manager's ribs. He ran him out of the ballpark. He had a kid from his hometown with him and ran him out of the ballpark. And he said, what happened, Grover? And he said, I guess I closed the wrong eye. Oh! You were in, let me ask you this before I leave. You were in, your family was in Monmouth, weren't they, for about a year? A year and a half. Because that's where my father sprung. Before that, right, not far away. Thank you.
