 How's your day? I don't know. How about a beating, a beating, and a beating! I'm an avid kid, I'm still a year old! Two years old! A record of nine! One who's all for good. You're a fireman, I'm just a man! I'm just a man! How are you, Joe? How are you doing, Robert? How are you doing, Robert? There's going to be a second way of coming, which will be TV and the writing press. And I'm going to do a few remarks, because we don't have them to cover in the house. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Look at that. Yeah, they don't have a second to shut up. Well, there's a nice bro that didn't make it. In it anyway. Hey, look, you're good. No one else is in next thing. That's right. It's a little bit of getting mixed, if you can keep an eye on those two. That's California. That was our last one. Well, I think we're, we better get started here. We've got a little order. In my state of the union address, I said it was vital to our nation's security that we provide the freedom fighters and make a robin in other countries with not only the means to die for freedom, but also to win freedom. There are many ways in which a democratic outcome can be achieved in Nicaragua. It can happen at the negotiating table or by the success of the ground resistance. But one thing is certain, we must provide more effective assistance than we must lift the restrictions, which now tie our hands. In Congress and in fact throughout the world, the opinion about the Sandinista seems to be shifting toward our view. They don't have many defenders anymore. The debate now is over what we should do about them. The program approved last year, the $27 million in humanitarian assistance has helped to maintain the pressure of the resistance on the Sandinistas. The resistance has continued to grow and is operating deep inside Nicaragua, but we have to do more to help them. As I've said before, you can't fight attack helicopters piloted by Cubans with band-aids and mosquito nets. So this is what the meeting is going to be about today as soon as we continue the meeting. Mr. President, how much are you going to ask for in the way of military aid and when are you going to do it? The meeting hasn't started yet. You've got some figures in mind. We hear it's about $100 million. Would it be that much? We won't have anything more to say than I just said as we now proceed with the meeting. Mr. President, what moves are you making to negotiate? We haven't been negotiating for months on this issue. Mr. President said thank you. Thank you. Are you turning back the Contemporary Trust? No more questions. Mr. President, we've got a great time in the evening, so let's go. We're not that door there. Mr. President, do you realize that as of late as recently as Eisenhower, they weren't allowed to quote a President without the President's permission? Who the hell never gave that order? Well, let me go on now. As you hear from Bill and Cap and George, it's not just a question of giving more assistance and assuming military assistance. It's also very important to give the resistance fighters the training and advice and intelligence information that they need. I'm sending to Congress this week my second 90-day report on the operation of the Nicaraguan Humanitarian Assistance Program. It's required that the legislation report covers diplomatic and human rights developments as well as the disbursement of aid to the resistance. Report outlines how during the last 90 days, the Sandinistas have derailed all efforts to negotiate a settlement that continued their aggression against their neighbors and have increased repression of their own peoples. One of the things we have noticed in the last few weeks has been the virulent media attacks by high-ranking Sandinista officials against Pope John Paul II and against Cardinal Obando E. Bravo. We've been consulting closely with many of you about what kind of assistance proposal to send to Congress. Now, we'll be sending our proposal next week. We have to supply real pressure to get their attention. And to be effective, we have to provide our help in a very discreet manner. We cannot continue with a completely overt program. We must be a tune to the sensitivities of those in the region who will help us, but only if the program is not public. Nicaragua's neighbors are not different than Angolias or Cavodias or Afganistans in that they demand at least a fig leaf of non-attribution. I think it's the least that we can do. The stakes here are very high. We've told the Soviets time and again that we won't accept their conduct in the Third World, but we can't expect to talk them out of it. We have to keep the pressure on. That's the only way to put U.S.-Soviet relations on a better footing. Between now and the next time I see General Secretary Gorbachev, that's the message that I want him to get. Now, I'm going to ask Bill Casey to lead off. Mr. Pond. Where do you want to express it? Spread around any place. No place guards. You're ultra-voiced since his very best regards. Just back in. He's back in. Back in. He's on the free control of Nicholas. Yes, I know. I got that letter from him. I hope he's so proud of that ship. They were happening in the druggies down in the Caribbean. It was so difficult. They didn't get a one. They didn't get a single drug smuggler. They were out for two weeks. He was looking forward to boarding, you know, and pulling your sabers. I heard Eric Abrams at the Council of Foreign Relations the other night as the President saying that drugs was our biggest single foreign policy problem. It was an interesting approach to drugs. Yeah, I wouldn't exactly. No, I thought you would say that, but especially when you think of the Philippines. I love the Soviet. I don't mean to minimize the interception of drugs and try to do that, but I've always believed the only totally successful way you're ever going to win is you take the customer away from the drugs, not the other way around. It's when you get a whole generation that stands up and says, we're not going to do this anymore. Then they're gone. Yes, sir. Hi. How are you doing? Well, thank you. Tamara Priner. Hello. Hi. My dad Jim Mack. That is Ian. Good to see you. You and I get a photo and then we all have a photo. Okay. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you very much. I just want to say, this is the biggest center of my life to be nominated by you. After 20 years since that first day at USC and your first public appearance after you announced Governor of California, it's been a long time. Thank you. My God. That does go back. Oh, it does. Yes. Well, thank you for doing it. Welcome aboard. Thank you. Thank you. Good to see you. Yeah. Bye. And you too. Nice to see you. Nice to see you too. Bye. Bye. Bye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye Bye. Thank you. Thank you. It's fine. I have been here a couple of times too. We'll take it over here. Can I just not only the names to die for freedom, the means to die for freedom, but also to win freedom. There are many ways in which a democratic outcome can be achieved in Nicaragua. It can happen at the negotiating table or by the success of the resistance of the ground on the ground, but one thing is certain. We must provide more effective assistance and lift the restrictions which now tie our hands. The program that was approved last year has helped to maintain the pressure of the resistance of the, or about the resistance of the Sandinistas, but we have to do more to help them. You can't fight attack helicopters piloted by Cubans with Band-Aids and Stephen S. As you often build them, Cap and George, it's not just a question of giving more assistance and resuming military assistance, it's also very important to give the resistance fighters the training and advice and intelligence that they need. We've been consulting closely with many of you about what kind of assistance proposal to send to Congress. We'll be sending you our proposal shortly and we have to supply real pressure to get their attention because I've received some letters signed by groups of congressmen opposing the whole idea of trying to help the freedom fighters. To be effective, we have to provide our help in a very discreet manner. We can't continue with a completely overt program. We must be attuned to the sensitivities of those in the region who will help us, but only if the program is not public. These are the other countries surrounding them there. The stakes here are very high. We've told the Soviets time and again that we won't accept their conduct in the third world, but we can't expect to talk them out of it. We have to keep the pressure on them. That's the only way to get their Soviet relations on better footing. Between now and the next time I see General Secretary Gorbachev, this is the message I want him to get. Now, I've got a few minutes here at least. I can take your question or two from you. And then I've got six ambassadors waiting in there. John, Bill, Cap and George will talk to you in more detail. So if you have something here from me or a question, or you want to get down to the real, you need it. Mr. President, now I have a question. I mean, one member of the Senate who has supported this effort, I can't help but recall last year that... President, Ambassador Korea. Well, United States. Welcome, Mr. President. I'm honored to have you. And Mrs. Kim. How do you do? You and I will go over and have a picture taken in front of the fireplace, exchanging our papers, and then you will join us for a picture. Right. I have the lunch here, sir. All right, well, welcome. I wish to convey to you one of the greetings from my President, President Chan. He has the fondest memories of visiting last year, and your visit to Korea. Well, we have many happy memories of that also. And please, I'm communicating, give him my very best regards. I shall, too, sir. We're pleased about the relationship, and we hope that one day we can see those negotiations go forward with North Korea, but also we're looking forward with great pleasure to the 88 Olympics, the world getting a chance to see all that has developed in your country. Thank you very much for your applause and encouragement. I'm sure my President will appreciate your applause and encouragement very much. And we are looking forward to a successful Olympics in 1988 also. Thank you very much. You and I wait here. Yes. It was very nice. Well, nice to meet you. This is a return you've been in our country before. Yes, I have been here before. I have been in education. I've been to California. Mr. Kreston, Ambassador of Indonesia. Well, Mr. Kreston, how do you do this? Thank you very much. Mr. Sosilo. Two sons and daughter-in-law. That's great. You and I will go over and exchange our papers about the fireplace and the picture taken, and then you will all come and join us. Thank you very much. Very nice to meet you. Right. Mr. Kreston. Right. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing him in Dubai. Too many days from now. And looking forward to that. And we're very admiring here of the economic progress that's been made in the last decade or so. Thank you. Thank you. All the people of Indonesia. I would like to hear you. Being in California, and I am convinced that the future lies with the nations around us. Thank you. Any much? Thank you. And maybe some on the other side. Thank you, sir. Welcome. Please stand here. Thank you. I am too. Stay busy. Nice to meet you. Where are you going to school? Where are you going to school? Very nice of your country. And where are you going? In Iowa. University of Iowa. I know. Years ago I used to broadcast Iowa football games. And it was a radio sports announcement. I just thought that you also played football games. Yes. President. President of the United States. President of the United States. President of the United States. President of the United States. President of the United States. I'd like to see you. President of the United States. You and I were going in front of the fire. Then you come in here. Thank you very much. Thank you. These are the first credentials. We enjoyed our visit to your country recently. Although it was much more short. It is very short indeed. And rather cold. Yes, yes. It was a very rainy and humid day, and I was delighted that I could be introduced to you by the team. I was so moved into Washington. Well, this is a welcome back for you. You've been posted here before. Yes, I was here from 70 to 74, serving as economic minister. Well, we're very pleased and happy about the long relationship between our two countries, and your country's courage in moving forward with the INF deployment when there seemed to be a little trouble. Yes, yes, yes. Oh, I will continue to, from my best and strongest side. Right. Which you, and then, if you get between us, this will be it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Mr. President, Mr. Surinand, President of the United States, President of the United States. Hello. Nice to see you. From the United States. Thank you. You and I will go to the front of the fire place and exchange our papers, and then you two can come in and join us for a photo. Yes. We're pleased with the progress toward democracy by 1987's being implemented in the country. I have a concern. I hope Libya won't violate your hospitality. I don't think so, I think we'll stop there until we wait for a good team because we're on the same continent and we know where the spots go down the line. Thank you. Wish you well and hope you enjoy your stay. President? Ambassador of the Kingdom of Nepal, President of the United States. Madam Fredon? How do you do it? You say it. My name is Simon. It's a father, huh? How do you do it? You and I will go in front of the fire base and take an exchange in our papers, is that and they will come and join us? Yes, sir. I was with the King, Mr. President, and I did a very lovely, it gets into me too. Do you need to stay? Yes. I mean, you were stationed here, I think. I was, yeah, 18 years back then. 18 years back. Well, we're very pleased the relationship our two countries have. I mean, it's, you know, Mr. President, when I came, I don't know what this was about. His majesty and her majesty, you know, phony cherishes, they still visit here. It was a very, you know, kind invitation. And their majesty is very eager that whenever, whenever Mr. President had the opportunity to visit that part of the world, their majesty would be pleased. We are welcoming you. We just had a flight over, you know, just a relaxing trip. I remember, Mr. President, you mentioned very often about the Everest, even though you mentioned Everest becomes, and also you mentioned, I think, one of the UN speeches about the Everest. The Everest is waiting to welcome you. I can just look at it. I don't have to climb. The plane will take you, sir. All right. Won't you join us? Thank you very much. So, to me, it's embarrassing. And at the moment, I... Well, I... Nothing is scheduled. I get as far as Bali in a few weeks, but then I have to go to Japan. But then I'm scheduled back here, but I shall keep that in mind. We'd love very much to be there. And I think it was today, I think, the Queen of England. The result of the Queen of England is there in Kathmandu. And I think nobody, no President said this to Kathmandu. So far, since you are a study person, we would like to make you a visit to history, one of them. It's your health allowance, of course, especially in the field of water resources.
