 I think this is an occasion for mixed emotions for all of us. I know they are for me. One part of me says, Whittle, I get my handle, but with you. And the other part, I know is the regret that we feel. Ted Bell has come into a position here, exerted a leadership at the federal level, which at the same time did not in any way impose on or interfere with local and state jurisdiction with regard to education. He took the reports of the Commission on Excellence in Education and carried them nationwide to the place that I think changes have been made at state and local levels in education that are going to have a bearing on children for many years to come. And so he has been Secretary of Excellence. He carried that word far and wide. We're going to miss him very much, very seldom does someone have a chance to come into a position for about four years and in those four years be able to see such tangible evidence of success as he is able to take with him as he leaves us now. He has done the job more than the way it should be done. He has been a friend who finds Secretary in that job and I think all of us wish him a happy return to where he wants to go. And Ted will miss you and I have a little just souvenir for the two of you here. Thank you. Mr. President, it's been just a joy to serve in your cabinet. I've said kiddingly since I'm so short that I'm the runt of the cabinet. And we have rank according to when we were established and I'm 13th out of the 13th, but you've always been so good to me and I appreciate that. And you helped so much in the dissemination effort of the report. I don't know if everyone here knows but the President participated in two of our forums and he gave a major keynote address at the National Forum in Indianapolis. He's given 51 according to my account, Mr. President, major addresses on education. And I said last night at the banquet when they were celebrating getting rid of me, Mr. President. I used the comment about when E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen. I said the reason that I've had what little success I have is when the President speaks, people listen. And this President has spoken more on education than any other President in modern times. I think at any time. You're praising me for something that was a lifelong dream of mine. That the teachers had to sit and listen while I talk. Now Mark has to leave here and take final exams. He's a third year student at law school, so we need to send him. It's a good send-off, Mark. Thank you. So you could inspire all kinds of little Roger jokes from me at our board. Well, all right, I have to go across the street now. Somebody's having an office Christmas party. I've survived several of them so far. Well, thank you. Thank all of you. All right. We'll get that written out and then you can do it as you said before. Good. You look so good. You look so good. It's been a year since I've seen you. Thank you. All right. Can we get a picture of you with Holly? My daughter? Yes. That means a lot to us. Thank you. Thank you. We ought to have one of them, okay? Yes. We'll have one since Sacramento. It's about how well I looked because I was just told one day that the stages of life, babyhood, childhood, puberty, youth, middle age, and hey, you look wonderful. Well, if it isn't again, there aren't any words to thank you all. Thank you for the thank you and for making this presentation. Just make this. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. How do you do? This was a pretty good personal regards from Mr. Tom King from last night. Well, a fine man and a good governor. I think they want to present you with a menorah. I don't know if you want to have it at the desk or a way to have it here. I think for them. Great idea, that's fine. This is the menorah which is lit on the days of the holiday, which we are celebrating. As we are presenting you the menorah now, the national menorah being lit outside Lafayette Park because it's lit. This resembles the candelabra that was lit in the temple. It commemorates an event in which a handful overcame a mighty army and symbolizes the victory of light over might. And it also celebrates the triumph of freedom of religion forward and not from religion. Thank you very much. I'm very proud to have this. I don't know whether I have the nerve to try this or not, but I'll try it in this particular season. I may not be able to say it right. Excellent. After the holiday, excellent. I would like to thank the most ambitious of all the communities that we represent in 80 centres. Primarily, the head of our movement, the world phenomenon by Schneer, and all the province of Havoc. I'm greatly honored and I thank you very much. Thank you. Very welcome to the first lady. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Now you have great sense of humor. Since I'm going over with Bob Gray to do some lobbying, I thought I'd show you the epitome of lobbying. People from imperial prayer are trying to get their stamp right after you decide to wear your appliance. Ha ha! That's your souvenir. That's the epitome of lobbying. Well, I have a little souvenir for you, so your papers won't get blown away or anything, something to remind you of what you've been doing for a lot of years. But who is that elephant? Make your photo look a little nicer. Very well. Wish you well. How are those draftwares coming? Well, they're fine. I've got 24 of them bred to Red Zest. They're born in Kentucky, so we're going to get some mules next year. I'll send you a picture of them if you want to. Well, this is a thank you. Well, Mrs. Reagan was working on the scout thing down in Los Angeles. I was working on it in the Tularean Kings County. Hey! They raised more money than they ever did before. Well, that's great. I'll use my picture. Here's my picture. Four years over. Your dress is more than hair long. There's some of those horses. Yes. Anyway, I might want to look at that. I'll tell a little bit about me. All right. Well, we're going to miss you, but thank you for what you did. I've got to stop sometime. I have a brother next younger than I who's dying of cancer. And he couldn't walk. But he got somebody to take him down to the ballot box to vote. And they brought the ballot out to him and the witness took it in and put it in the ballot box. He said he was going to vote one more time for Ron Reagan. Do you have his address here? Yes, I have it here. That's his address on the top of my card. Yeah. And this is my son, his wife, son and daughter-in-law, their addresses. And they worked real hard to get you elected. Well, what's her name? Darla, D-A-R-M-R. D-A-R, that's a D, Darla. Well, I certainly will. I'd appreciate it. I'd like to state a letter to the President. As a matter of fact, I'd like to add a couple of things. Yes, you're right. I didn't see the talking part. Sorry. This is Julie Barty, her parents, and Bill Aramoni from the United Way. This is her parents, Gina, and Bob. Next to me, Mr. President. Mr. President, let's say again, sir. It's good to see you again. I'd like to give you the results from 1887 to 1974 to raise the first billion. It's taken us 10 years to raise the second billion. And thanks to your help and leadership, in the last two years we've raised $366 million additional dollars. Over 10 percent. And we thank you for giving the example you've given. Well, this is a little enough on my part. Congratulations for what you've done for this reaching the two billion dollar mark. Mr. President, Julie is with Loretta Lynn did two films for us at the age of five. They found she had a severe hearing problem. They took her to the United Way Agency. She is deaf and dumb and so her mother's interpreting to her now. And she went to a clinic and she got a hearing. They went through all the tests and went to training. And so we did a film with her when she was just five with Loretta Lynn and we just did another film with Loretta Lynn. Here it is 13 years later. She's just turned 18 and the world girls in a remarkable job. She's a champion runner, a competitor. I know that she has ambitions to for the Olympics and I hope very much that you make them. I think that's wonderful. The help that she's been, what you're doing and now to have that cream, the Olympics I think is wonderful. I wish you all success here is at the presidential seat. And you should have one too. Oh thank you Mr. President. Good seeing you and I thank you very much for the time. Appreciate it.
