 Nice to see you. I'm introduced to my wife and I have a home. My pleasure. My pleasure. My daughter's son. Hi, Sarah. Hello. My son. How are you? How are you? How's my mother-in-law? Hello. Thanks. I hope we all gather here for a family picture. Can you find us? I think maybe he better get in there. Yes. I'm confident you better find us too. Thank you. Thank you. I have a few little souvenirs. We don't want you to forget us while you're gone. You've got so many things. Thank you very much. Here's a bookmark. It must be a crime reading. It's perfect. The charm is for you. And the tie bar is for you. And the pin is for all of us. It's just incredible. All right. It's a good pair. Mr. President. I'm just going to let this boy sit. Ah, yes. The eagle in the seal there. If you'll notice, the eagle up there is looking toward the olive branch. Yes. And the other claw are the arrows. And Harry Truman made that change. In that older carving on the desk of the seal, the eagle used to face toward the arrows. And after World War II, Harry Truman decided let's look toward the olive branch with these. That is. Is that the same desk that all presidents have used? Some didn't. They chose not to. This is the one that Kennedy was using when John Boyd was photographed as crawling out that middle panel. I see. But there's a history of the desk. A wailing captain of ours many years ago in the Arctic came upon an English warship that had been, said in the vessel, that had been lost in the ice abandoned there. And he brought it out. And we refurbished it here and then delivered it to Queen Victoria. And some years later, it evidently was decommissioned. Queen Victoria had artisans carve and make the desk out of the planks. It was just delivered here to the White House. It's a terrific story. Very nice. Thank you. Good. Mr. President, we'll be thinking about you a lot. But especially in making that, I was with Secretary Schultz as a member of his party in Geneva. As a member of your party too. And we've got some t-shirts that the kids wear. It's a historic moment for us too. We certainly wish you best in ranking. As always. Thank you. I wasn't too pleased last night in news when they showed a shot at the snow flakes. It's a change from Washington. Oh, the biggest snowflakes I ever saw. Well, good luck. Thank you very much. Thank you. We appreciate today. Mr. President, think of 82 and if you can mention it in a press conference or a speech, I know that would do a lot of good. The Haitian people would certainly seize upon that. And it would help quite a lot for them to know that you're still thinking about it. That'd be a favorite of me. All right. Mr. President, why don't we get one more quote with you and the Ambassador along? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. Mr. President, you're Ambassador to Nigeria. Yes. Mr. President, I'm a little impressed with today's great honor. Thank you. I mean, you're doing this one at a time. It's just to see you a little bit. Well, why don't we gather around and have a kind of fan meeting tomorrow? Okay. Oh, sorry. This is... Okay. All right. All right. I'm just a souvenir. So, we'll forget. Okay. Thank you. Mr. President, I hope you'll be pleased and happy. Yes. Yes. I'm just a little bit impressed with today's great honor. Thank you. Mr. President, I don't understand that. It's so sad. I don't understand. But it's a group of folks who are different. I don't understand what they are. Yeah. You're working at it. It's a bit of a night looking at them, you know? Yeah. Don't look at it. We're going to stand in this one. One moment. Yes. Go for it, best. I wish you well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Thank you. Thank you very much. My number is... Thank you very much and God bless you. I understand that you had a little harrowing incident out there over in the Atlantic. Yes we did, we had to turn back to Heathrow, but we're here and I'm looking forward to a most exhilarating experience with American Salvationists. I believe our Salvation Army in America has a vibrant expression of their faith and I'm just looking forward so much to meeting them. In Atlanta, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles as well as here in Washington. Thank you for the great pleasure being here. You can even tell the President you're going to Canada. Oh yes I am too. In North America. I'm Commissioner Marshall National Commander. Yes, good to see you. Well it's good to meet you, it's quite an honour sir. Commissioner Miller. Mr. President, I'm the new National Commander in Designate, which is an easier spot to be in than either of them. He's a younger man. Younger man. I'm sure he'll be able to get a group picture here. Yes, we should. Yes, let me get around over here. We've got to get you between us here. It's wonderful of you to see us in these very busy days for you. We're praying for you very much for your special assignment in meeting with the Gorbachev. Thank you everyone. I haven't really believed in that yet. Thank you for all the work that you've done. We were very inspired when we saw yourself and Mrs. Reagan on the television in Britain and I feel that when leaders of nations speak strongly in these areas especially amongst our young people it's really an area of great concern for us all. And if the Salvation Army is involved that's important. But I believe that when we help these young people we don't only help them medically when we really try to give them a purpose in life. Well, you help us very much with particular and special cases here. Particularly the holiday season. Well, Mr. President, 12,000 people are today in alcohol and drug programs in the United States today in our centers which is marvelous. And we thank that for everybody who's joining in that panel. That's great. I want to say just a moment to thank you for those lovely screen tapes that we featured in Dallas last month at the big meeting of our volunteers. And last year in the youth home of Illinois when we had the International Youth Congress with 5,000 young people. That name is familiar to me. I play football there. Well, it was you. We appreciate it. This is the war cry which is just current with the President's picture on the back and the message that you gave to these volunteers in Dallas. Thank you very much. I'm sure you won't have enough to read. You'd like to read that. Mr. President, I think you already heard I'm only the second woman general of the Salvation Army. The first was the daughter of William Booth himself, even Booth who was an American citizen. I feel greatly honoured to be following in her footsteps. And I thought you might like to add to your own library a copy, the most recent copy of Salvation Army's history. It's bound by our own press in London which is famous for its special bindings. In fact, it bound the history book of the Salvation Army. It bound the wedding Bible of Queen Elizabeth II. So they've bound the volume for you. And I have prayed, mentioned there, that I would pray that God will guide you, God will bless you. I think it's inspiring for Christians everywhere to know that a great political leader himself makes statements about his own faith and that's an inspiration for us all. Abraham Lincoln said it once. He said it was very often in this job driven to his knees because there was no place else to go. To be high as soon as... I don't dare. Mark doesn't sound good. It's at a visit to Coulter, I think, so think about it, catch it. I am one of those who's allergic to ponds and I've discovered... I'm the capital of the world. But I'm just getting over that and now it's kind of settled down there. It started a couple of weeks ago. Thank you, Mr. President. Gentlemen, very, very nice. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Well, we're close allies, so maybe... Yeah, we are. ...pinned with our... Oh, thank you very much. Indeed, Mr. President. I'll wear it with great pleasure. And distinction. Thank you, I hope so. But being here in America is very important because I must say that the Salvation Army in America has the largest number of Salvation Army officers of any country in the world. We have 3,000 full-time Salvation Army officers. We have half a million now members, unduplicated members of the Salvation Army. And I would say about a million volunteer helpers. And it behoves me as the world leader to really come and have a quick look and say hello to them all. Would you allow me to pray with you, Mr. President? Yes, I will. God is blessing upon you in your... Particularly with the next week coming up. Thank you. We will be praying for you throughout the nation. Well, thank you very much. Oh, God, our Father, we implore you in this most famous spot, the Oval Room. We know that your presence is here as much as it is in any cathedral. And we pray, Father, your blessing upon President Reagan. Give him that wisdom that cometh from above, especially as he goes to these significant meetings. We ask, Lord, that to him will be that sense of calm and peace of heart. May he know your presence with him. Amen. And this we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you very much. And our moment of message, Reagan. I shall. She's come to us a lot. We're very grateful. One more film in that camera. I retire and you were kind enough to say something about that in your film. Yes. Would you pose for a picture with me? Yes, certainly. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Father. Because you made a mention of your position and being a woman in this position. I just have to tell you a little incident. We had the first time among the Presidential military aides in the White House for the first time a woman officer. And then she was also for the first time her branch of the service representative, the Coast Guard. So one day I was teasing her a little bit having come from a meeting with some admins of the Navy and so forth. A little bit about the Navy and so forth. And she listened very quietly. And then she said to me, we feel that the Coast Guard is the unit around which the Navy gathers. Can I tell you a little joke, Mr. President? That was when I became the commander. I've been preaching Sunday morning in the service. And at the end of the service, as I went to the door, all the people came and shook hands with me. And one woman said to me, she said, I'm pleased to meet you. Because when I heard we're going to have a woman commander, I said to myself, I don't like that. A woman leader. She said, no. I heard you preach. I said to myself, there's a man of God. There's a man of God. Thank you. I have to tell you something. At the Economic Summit a couple of years ago in London where Margaret Thatcher then presided over that. I mean, an Englishman came up to me and one of the social gatherings tumbled upon that. And he said to me, Margaret Thatcher is the greatest man in England. That's one. Thank you very much. Well, I pray that I will be a man of God because it's a loner's task and it's spiritual, but I'm the God's guidance. I'll do my best. I can't resist. I've got to tell you a little bit. I presided over one of those meetings. A prime minister, no longer a prime minister of another country, got way out of line. And he was complaining that she was not running a new media in a democratic fashion and so forth. We were really storming at her when it was over and we got out on the corridor. And I said, Margaret, he was way out of line. He had no business talking to you like that. Very quietly. She said, oh, women know when men are being childish. Well, thank you again, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again. And the Lord be with you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, John.
