 Here it comes. This is Bethany. Bethany. Bethany. It's not like Grace was the president. Hello there. Doctor. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. No problem, sir. I understand your description. You can get even though I'm private. I'm waiting for him out there. I know what you're doing. It's getting even cooler for the last couple of days. It's not at all. Why don't you get in the middle here? Okay. Bethany, Bethany. You're supposed to look at the camera. Bethany, right here. Thank you. Usually that's all. You said nope. You'll always take advantage of this, huh? You're a star, Bethany. Well listen, thank you for so many things. Oh, sir. Thank you. It's been a privilege to take care of you. There's anything I can do out there. What did you ever find out about glutamide? Glutamide. I talked to Dr. Smith about that. And he said that it's been used in the United States on an experimental basis. And that it really doesn't have any advantages over what we currently have. Oh. But that it's cheaper in Canada. And that's why they use it as a preferred therapy. But I'm not sure that that's going to be any good news. I had diagnosed my situation the other day. It wasn't the hospital. It had me sneezing and blowing and so forth. Because, you know, I got well up there. But yesterday we came back and we had my shot on the balcony. And by the time I got back in the house it's got to be something in the air here. I was right back. I stopped up and I was sneezing and so forth. But after I got back inside for a while I got all right. So I think that's the condition you can have to be something outdoors. Well, I know you're feeling pretty bad there for a while. You just need to keep going though. I'm going to smile. I'm not going to smile at all. She wants to hold these other people out here. This is not my voice. Well, thanks again, sir. It's been a pleasure. Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you. Oh, thank you, sir. Oh, geez, thank you. Okay. Oh, that's super. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. You ready to say goodbye? Say goodbye. Say goodbye. Did you know that our two of us were in the playground? That's great. We'll have to try it. Thank you very much. Before you go, we've got a letter here for a friend of Kent's who would like to have you sign it. Actually, my replacement, Dr. Savage, is fall through the support. Oh, okay. Come on. He is terminal cancer. He is colon cancer. He wasn't sicked up early enough and probably has a couple of months left. Rod, I knew, would never ask for it for himself. I appreciate it, sir. Is that your replacement? That's his dad. Rod Savage. Thank you, sir. He is a friend, too, but I knew Rod would appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Great. Thanks a lot, Kent. Thank you again, sir. You've got a wonderful evening. Thank you for the gifts. Well, I appreciate it. He's just back. The President, Jean-Pierre Julien. The President. Mr. President, there are two freshest stages which have raised last week in Peru, through negotiation. Does that mean that if we were to ask to bargain with terrorists or terrorist countries, get back to the hostages, like the American hostages? Well, no, I was delighted when they were released. I hope you get the others. They're still being held on. So I think we're going to go on hostages. And we've been trying continuously to get them up. I think we were dealing with two different groups, those who were holding European hostages. Was it a different group than the Hezbollah Iranian group that is holding ours? So I'm delighted to see that they're going to do it. Mr. President, we have a meeting with the new Soviet ambassador in a few minutes. Are you more optimistic about your meeting with Mr. Gorbachev this year? I really believe that he does want a meeting. I certainly want one. And it's just a case now of getting together on a date. Mr. President, if Mr. Gorbachev don't want to come to Washington, do you think that Paris would be a good place? Well, any time would be a good place. No one turns down a trip there, except that, in this case, I think that having gone to a neutral country, which was what they preferred in the first summit here, and having agreed unequivocally that the second meeting would be held here, and the third meeting would be held in Moscow, I think that we should hold to that. Is France still reliable, and I think the story of the raid on India? I think the friendship between our two countries is sound enough to survive a little difference of that kind. We would be celebrating a symbol of that friendship very shortly, a few days here in our country. And I just saw something I didn't know on television. I saw that, in a way, we have returned the gift, not in the complete size, but that you now have a replica, a smaller replica of a statue in Paris. But no, I think our friendship is solid and sound. And I think that was evident in Tokyo, the president and the prime minister, when we met, in addition to the summit meeting, when we met, just ourselves. Are you going to launch a real commercial war? Do you want some people to see? Commercial air war. War, commercial war, between European countries and the United States? Is it the reason? Oh, no, not at all. As a matter of fact, one of the things that came out of Tokyo was the agreement now to have a round of international trade talks between us and our trading partners to see if we can't make trade more free and more fair and eliminate some of the obstacles to free trade that exists between all the nations. Thank you. Thank you very much. Pleased to do it. God bless you. Thank you. Can I take one second for you and tell you, I have to tell you, this is my one experience with your language. I get to step in front of you. When I was a school boy here in America, I studied your language. It was compulsory in our schools. And I studied French for two years. Then in 1949, many, many years later, I made my first trip to France after making a motion picture in England. And across the channel, then discovered that the English couple, the three of us, were going to go down to the south of France and have a few days in the sun and we're spring, we've been in England all winter. And I learned that they had never crossed the channel. They did not know what word of French. And if there was to be any escape from silence, I was going to have to remember some of what I learned many years before. But we were coming to a town where we were going to stop for lunch. And as I began to learn the words, the first time I'd ever really started to heart back to that, why I sort of padded my part as I remembered more and more I became, in my mind, a linguist. So we pulled into this little town. There was a chum darm standing there. And I said, pull up. He did. I rolled down the car window. He was driving. And I said, pardon me, j'ai grand fan. Well, I'm at my air café. And he told me, he told me, my friend who was driving says, what do you say? And I said, I haven't the slightest idea. Couldn't rehearse the answer to the question. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Happy birthday. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. And I'm pleased to make this also an opportunity to acknowledge the record that some of those characters out there would like to forget about. Let me see. It comes out to better than 260,000 cases closed out in the United States. It's right versus only 190,000 in the preceding four years. That's right. We have outperformed any of them in the history of the agency. And we can't continue. We have almost doubled in almost every year. There is no year that anyone can come close to anyone that we've got. And that's, again, with the approach that you've advocated. That's what the support that you've given us and that's what the commissioners have given us. That's right. We've got to come. We are 10% down. Lawyers and we've done a lot better. And I think that's what we came up with. We have an operation that without any budget and we've gone from zero to 300 computers. We've gone to mini-computer systems, the management systems in the business of life. So we're running high on that. We have numbers to show. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, brother. I appreciate you doing it. It's absolutely fantastic. All right. We're going to try. Again, we have an opportunity in the agency we have done. We would like to stress that we have positive records that we should never back down. The second thing is that we would like to see us in the next couple of years push a very positive agenda. That point is one that I can't stress enough. What they try to say is that we're against this and against that. What we are for is the same thing. My brother is crazy. Okay. And he was just like we weren't all strong and never back down to anything. And the attitude is that we have conservative values. He had these very religious, each work ethic is if you've got to learn, not learn. Okay. I think that we have to somehow turn the debate around to make it clear that those values are the critical values that we're going to include minorities in the free enterprise system, which is the best. We are going to have to push those values. You're doing it with a working group on the family. We have got it with Project 2000. Secretary Grodd is looking to second that. Youth 2000, we have gotten to push it to positive agenda, Mr. President. I think that should be your legacy because there are people who are still in schools. And I think this meeting is a very important one because I'm going off the combination and they are just butchering the civil rights and we have a record. We should admit that. And there are people who want to keep the dependence over the receiver of that job. That's right. And I think it hurts. You know, I'm from, I grew up in the second grade. Okay. But one thing is I have nothing to apologize for if you go on. And not one of these programs got me out of it. There was one man who could not read my, he said, you learn how to work in that. A reporter came into my office once when I first joined the administration. This is my sixth birthday in your administration in 30 years. Okay. So I've been here a while. He came to my office. He said, you have a tough life. I grew up here with my grandfather. Pinpoint Georgia born there. Raised by my grandparents. Went to Yale Law School. I'm an assistant secretary. And I'm still not 33 years old. How is that tough? Okay. I think that we have an opportunity to take others who are similarly situated and give them the exact same opportunity. And I think that under your leadership, you're the only person that I have known since I've been around. Who can, from a nationwide basis, do the exact same thing that my grandfather did. And I just stand by those values. It's a we are not back again. And I would like to support you now. I think you are the right person. I support you. Okay. That's bottom line. I'll do anything you did to make this effort work. Thank you very much, Professor. Thanks for sitting here. Thank you. Just to spend the highlight of my career. I got a little bit nervous. Thank you very much. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Professor.
