 Thank you all for coming down this morning, I think we've got a busy agenda, so we better get at it. First I'd like to ask for an update on the tax reform conference report, in order that I might have some idea of what to expect of the bill that would get to my desk. I hope that you will act expeditiously in completing action on that bill. I want you to know that the bill that has emerged from conference meets the objectives I outlined in my letters to Bob Marple and Jack Kent last December. In that correspondence, I said that I'd only sign a bill if it allows for a full 2,000-dollar personal exemption for both itemizers and non-itemizers, basic tax incentives for American industries. I think it dates so as to the race act of action in the minds of those in this plan for future annual investment, and a minimum tax which allows no individual enterprise to escape paying a fair share of the overall tax burden, a rate structure with a maximum rate for having the proposal of the tax practice that reduced taxes for middle-income working Americans. And I asked those of you in the House last December to vote for that House bill as an expression of your faith that we could then get a good bill in the Senate through conference. I think that was something of a record. I don't know that anyone's ever said to you, I want you to sign a bill with our veto if it gets to my desk the way it is, but that was what we did. But with your leadership and hard work that's been done, and I'm satisfied that we now have a bill that meets our objectives and should become law, and I want to ask Jim Baker if there's anything he wants to add to this. Well, nothing, Mr. President, other than that we're... My understanding of this was much more limited, but part of becoming a California part of the process is developing a love and appreciation for that part of America that is uniquely Hispanic. In California that includes our many Americans of Hispanic descent, with courage above and beyond the call of duty, distinguished themselves in battle, defending our liberty. He penned those words when they were considered a discrimination by any trace. It resolved to maintain dignity even in times of great adversity. Never was that brought home to me more. There, close to the highway, and one elderly gentleman invited me in to his house, this house. The furniture there it was, standing, was sitting in all of that mud. And as we stood there in the living room, the administration has been to expand opportunity to all Americans. And if I read the Hispanic community right, that's all that's expected. I've always found it strange that the idea that people should work hard to support their families and improve their well-being is labeled the Protestant work ethic. A man who early in his life picked potatoes for a living, with freedom and opportunity available to him, with hard work and a commitment to actions. He is today a successful businessman and resident of the United States. After I understand that the Hispanic Chambers Convention will open tomorrow, I had no previous experience in that job. You know, I found that that wasn't all a disadvantage. It's wonderful sometimes to not know the things you can't do 8%. And I should say there will be three brackets. Because many lower income people, 6 million we estimate, will be taken off the roads all together. Their bracket will be zero. So that's a third bracket, zero. This bill, which we fought so hard to get... What just happened, Donald's corporation along with the Hispanic caucus launched a dark contest. The theme was what my spending heritage meant to know. And Monica just had it with him. Until I continue in the right direction to shut the government down, you're going to get one you like. I don't get one that I think is good for the people, so I'm going to help with what we're trying to do to get out of here. Well, you said you'd drawn a line in the sand on this business with the house. I was compromised on South African sanctions with the president. What about South African? I have sent some information on that after the deal with the man. My only query is, I did not really unload here. This is a full report. Well, I thank you very much. I will wait just for a second. I have something I have to... I'll put the bears on the high school essay contest. Yes, listen, I think very highly of that. I think it's a great idea. I like your idea about the celebration being kind of a silly question. I think our people need separation. Yes. Including all present company, Mr. President. I agree. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy anniversary, Mr. Thirty-Night. That's a good one. Wait a minute. Don't go too far. I'm up to 36 already. Let's stop the talk. All right. Alan, I'm delighted to hear your reaction about that high school essay contest. Even if we write off the people on the edge of you and Donald, and all the rest of the season, these folks... And in recent years, their school has given them much in the America. Come on, make a wish and blow those out. Oh, thank you very much. No role in the investigation. Have you run a room or a staff room? I need to see the other person in the room. I need to see if he works here in the building. Oh, you work for Hailey Barber, yeah. I do something every day down there. I'm just sitting in this room. I'm just going to get these shutters. Peter? There's only one day it just seemed like that. For an athlete, I was an analyst for, we had many of the commissioners. And celebrated taking note of the original Anapolis Convention with Governor Hughes and Governor Calvary which was the first state that ratified the Constitution Then I got that. Was that the convention that Madison had really worked over? They had really, right? There's a quality connection to commercial matters, a meeting on commercial matters. But they knew what they were shooting for. They were shooting for a constitutional convention. They got it. It was very interesting. Our commission meetings took up long hours so we'd slip out and take a part in some event that they had tied in. Firstly, this is the first 13 states making a great deal out of it. If you get in the villain don't it? The heart service. Got a mom living with me today, Mr. President? Well, that would probably be mom. Well, that's a great one. My daughter, Kirsten. That's my mother, Esther Swann. My wife, Jill. Yeah, there. Nice to see you again. Good to see you. I think you've got a rather nice over here. Well, we'll come here and have a family group. That's great. Right? Well, the way you do it is you put half of them. You put one side of the president, half on the other side. Okay, now one more person over on this side. Okay. Well, that one's gone. Okay, thanks. It's off. Now we can say it's all Don's idea. Yeah. I guess we're waiting for someone there to go. Yes, sir. We certainly do. Just a few souvenirs. Thank you. A couple things for you. A couple things. Thank you very much. And these were the silver and a cube. Thank you. But she's not old enough to drive yet. So fix them up. We'll just have a cube. We'll only get it in the house. All right. Thank you. This is a real pleasure. I appreciate it, Mr. Brick. You guys better go on. You guys better go on. You guys better go on. What's everybody doing? What's everybody doing? Well, I think we know why we're all here, and I think we all really should be smiling through our tears. But after 18 years, I can't deny it. All the way back in Sacramento, where he was a very big part of some things that we were very proud of there, like our first comprehensive reform of welfare in the United States. And then on here in 1981, the jobs that he's had here, and I know we're going to all miss him, but I also know that we all wish him the very best and wish him well. And to that guy, there are no words to express my gratitude for all that you've meant to this administration. And many times, when I was kind of fumbling around to get an attitude on something or other and you would volunteer something, and I didn't go any further. I knew I'd have some horse's mouth. There's a pony in there somewhere. It was a thoroughbred horse that I rode. I quit. I would like to say just a few things, Mr. President. This is one of the most difficult moments in my life. But the times come, and you have been most gracious about it. I appreciate that. A lot of people are asked when they leave the White House, well, what do you miss the most? And I will miss the man. I will miss you, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States. I will miss your friendship. I'll miss your jokes. I'll miss your leadership. And I'll miss the personal example that you have set for me throughout most of my adult life. And I thank you very much for the honor and the opportunity. Thank you. Let's eat, drink, and be married. Well, thank you. Thank you. Well, let me see you. So come back and visit everyone. Oh, that's a nice thing. What a nice thing. Mr. President, and my father, and whoever. Mr. President, I see you. Well, that's good news. Wherever you are. Hi. Oh, there are a lot of them that go back to the early days. All right. Well, thank you. All right. Thank you. Bye-bye. That's very emotional. Thank you.
