 Hi, how are you? Sorry to have kept you all waiting, but I'm over there lunch and giving away the first medals of the arts. Ah, good. You felt us pass the program a couple of years ago. Hi, how are you? Just fine. Well, I've heard a rumor that something's coming up on the hill having to do with Nicaragua. Well, you can't believe what you're talking about. Let me just say here to get started, but then I know that many of you have concerns and all I'd like to hear, and I'd like to see if I could find some answers for those concerns. The reason many of our people aren't here today is they're up on the hill and the Senate is working. There are two versions, a Senate Democratic, a Senate Republican version, and they're not all that far apart, and we're trying to come together in the few places that we are apart so that we can come forth with something. Basically, our idea was born of the conference effort March 1st, and they're offered to lay down their arms, have a ceasefire, and come in and negotiate a peaceful resolution within the country. And this is what we've started off with on that. We've asked them to hold that offer open until June 1st. While we see if we can't get the Sandinistas to come along, we've got the support of the Contadora Groups. Others, the neighboring countries, the heads of state of Costa Rica and Honduras, Salvador, as a matter of fact, Dorte, said that this was the right idea at the right time. And to see if they couldn't negotiate really a restoration of the ideals and the goals that set up the revolution to begin with. And I think there's been a great program of disinformation. As a matter of fact, there's been a very sophisticated and well-funded program that's created false images about this. There is no question that the Sandinistas stole the revolution, got rid of as best they could of some of their partners in that revolution and have set up a totalitarian state. And it's every bit the pattern of Cuba. It's the other day they arrested 10 or 11 were a little unsure of whether it's one of the other number. People arrested them as political prisoners and then arrested about 100 of their family members to further put pressure on them. And then a kind of significant. They put them in dark and they're in very highly heated cells, very debilitating heat. And then in the darkness and the heat, they further disorient them by the meals. Like for example, it'll be 12 hours between the meals. And then the next meal will come in two hours so that they lose their sense of time and presence and where they are and everything. Now that was a practice that, as far as I know, unless you heard it someplace else, was originated by Castro in Cuba. We've had some further information just recently. I'm not suggesting violence. Do you think however it is a little rough enough with Americans. So look over the the over here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks in America. I did you a little favor today, sir. I didn't bring Minnesota and Washington, D.C. Next time we're here. Thank you all for being here and I apologize for being a little late, but I found that every time that some part of my day early begins with meeting with Congressman, I wind up behind schedule all day. Mr. President, on behalf of the National Troopers Coalition and Testimonial, to Ronald Wilson-Reagan President, United States of America dedicated patron of law enforcement, zealous defender of liberty, relentless adversary of crime and proud restorer of patriotism presented April 25th, 1985 by the National Troopers Coalition. There was a cartoon to the occasion that as a boy I remember seeing a picture of a police, your police fight it out in an alley. There are no bams playing. This was in the aftermath of World War I and it made a tremendous impact. There was any cartoon saved by people that reprinted a number of times in other publications, but I just thank you all very much and we'll continue to help. Can we get a group shot, Mr. President? Two seconds. We'll get you right back. We'll get that vote. We'll get that budget passed. Everyone looking right here. It'll be alongside you again. I squeezed you so hard. I love you, sir. I love you. Governor Keynes sends his best for New Jersey. We really whipped him in November. We filled him up there. Do you like me to take that, Mr. President? I represent the four border states, Maine, Florida, California, and Alaska. Four end states. If I could I'd get a big blackboard track to travel with all the patches. I probably shouldn't say this. Maybe someone's listening here though. Small land violating the fire department. The gentleman pulled up in a car and told me to get in. And I refused. Until he showed me some credentials. Then I got in and then I made the mistake of saying twinkle twinkle little star. Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are? That cost my father $14. How did it break? From then on, I've been on your side.
