Glad to meet you. Nice to see you. Thank you. You're going to have to move in front of the fire. All right. Let's take a picture and exchange the papers. And then you and John, let's take a picture after we get there. You're welcome, Mr. President. Thank you very much. I know for you what we're going to do. I hope that we can be of assistance in our program. I know that you may have a kind of deal with the drug traffic. You want to be of help if we pass the time. You know, a little meaning of the trying circumstances for my country. And we also have a very terrible roof flood recently. There's left 100 people homeless around the Ticacarelae and destroying all our ports, lake ports. So we are having our very difficult problems. We just have some of that. And we're hoping that it's very severe for you. No. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy it. It's great that I know that you're on the lake. So thank you very much for your help. Thank you. I hope to see you again soon. Oh, you will. Ambassador Columbia? Yes, Mr. Ambassador. Mr. President, we have a pleasure to meet you. We used to have you here. I'm Robert Vicencia, I'm the interpreter of this. And this is Mrs. Posada, the manager to be in my wine. Mrs. Posada, this is the woman's daughter. Hello. This is you.

Knows something of the struggles you're having with the drug. And I can't agree with it, but we can be a couple. I suppose I can work in order to strengthen the relationship between your country and my country. Well, I should cooperate with that. Thank you, Mr. President. No. Thank you, sir. Well, it's a pleasure to have you here. It's a great pleasure to have you here. The Ambassador Burkino Faso. Mr. Ambassador, hello. We used to see you in the headroom. The Mrs. Faso Ler.

The stock market closed at 174604, up 43.1. And a volume of 188.2 million shares. A long time high. Hmm. Hello. All those behaviors come. It's not easy. It's Reagan's economics. We used to call it Reaganomics. It's working. Oh, Mr. Deming. You might shoot over there. We ought to get the crew over there. I wanted for secrets. I'm going to stay in there. He's going to tell last thing off the rival car. And that is the number of times, I will be at the back. About that. That's good. That's good. That's good. But what do you do with the news? I'll sue the news. No I didn't. You want to talk on points for your call to Michael? About the back of the special? The certificate. Whether I've got a second set up here, I don't know exactly. But they've got to just tear it out in case, I know that it's the- It's the 24th anniversary which they were meant for. I wished him a happy birthday earlier. He called me this morning at quarter of eight. He was worried about reading in the papers that we were compromising. I agree, it should be. All right. Where do we go? The library. Well, wait. That's all right. That's all right. They've related to you. You're fine. Good subject. How long has it been? I'll have to get in there. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. You're fine. Great. Thanks. Great. Thank you. Mr. President. We'll solve all the problems in the farm community. All right. Are you selling those buns? I'll buy one then. Let's see this other one. This is Mr. Colonel Ortega. Oh, that's good. Same show on the second verse. That's great. Thank you, Donald. Good morning, Bob. Greetings. How are you? We're fine. We're joking. That's great. Well, listen. I know we're running out of time. All of us are working or concerned about. I think we're here just basically to say how important the legislation that we passed last week in the House was that it dealt with some little problems that we had with Grant Rudman. I don't want to be in any way to dominate, but we believe that if you sign this legislation, it's going to be helpful to the country and helpful to the grain people, to the dairy people, and others. And it is legislation that's now been agreed to by the Secretary and by others. But I also wanted to do one other thing, Mr. President. This letter is written by a woman in Blackville, Wisconsin. It talks about, you and I talked when you were in Wisconsin about the attitude of what people are going through in the farm. I'd like to just give you this letter. And it talks a little bit about the problems in the farm and what they're facing. And it would give you kind of a flavor of what's going on out there and the kind of position that Don and Jim and I and others are trying to do. She's a friend. She's a person that I don't know of. We called her this morning and I said we were going to give you this letter. And I hope very much that you can sign the form of this remedial legislation and it will be in a position that we think we can go forward. If I could just add, I want to say that this last package that we passed, some of it is corrective legislation. Some of it has come about through misinterpretation. I'd like to think. But it's extremely important. And I think it puts the farm bill back where I thought it was. Some pretty close ones we started out. I think any of these corrections in the very, very bold on the very program is very important to us by the mind. I think such a good package is going to do wonders for the bill. And I think it's going to help a lot making the farmers will think this package and realize that it is a workable program for them for the next few years. Tell me, as the word got presented about the things that we just decided the other day to transfer the funds and so forth, the additional money to help get time for the spring planning. There's some questions about that. But I think overall, and the other thing that's going to help us is with the dollar coming down, interest rates coming down, I think that we can look at a bright future out there. But we've got some initial problems and that's what we've got to work on right there. One of the things that I think it could tell the farmers you are concerned about or give somebody for, you know, the gridiron, annual gridiron is a place where you tell outrageous jokes and so forth even on yourself and it's all done with the promise that the gridiron is off the record, but that comes out with it. So I, for that, the outrageous joke that I just said to remark about it supporting the farmers is somebody to see this in a press. I don't feel that way about that. So we appreciate it. I think that the more statements and the compliment you're on to Dick Lane, we've talked and I think you've got a good secretary over here, but we still have a lot of problems. There's no way that any farm bill is going to solve all those problems. We're going to be working on some credit legislation. I know in my state last year we had 13 bank failures. Nationwide we only had 120. So that kind of shows you that energy and agriculture are really hurting. And there are some things I think that can be done with not really a lot of expense on the federal side that would encourage the farm credit system to restructure instead of foreclose. The number of foreclosures is just very rampant. The number of failures. Let me just give you a number. When you're in Oklahoma and we drove by a wheat field and I told those guys we had some problems this year. In our state and the federal land bank system, one out of nine farmers is the latest payments by over a year. Farmers home, FMHA, we have 1,900 are delinquent by over a year. And so there's still some very negative things out there with the land prices being down and so on. Bob's right, with the value of the dollar coming down, that's going to help. There's some things in the bill that will help us move green. But we really still have some very, very serious problems and a lot of people are going to be forced off the farm. The credit legislation that we're looking at there should be able to help. Mr. President, this has been a pretty good week. In terms of the government, the regulatory agencies, the bank regulatory agencies in the Department of Treasury will provide some of their regulations which will be helpful to farm credit. We have the $750 million that's going to happen if this legislation is signed. It seems to me it focuses very strongly on the President's support for agriculture and my first week. You've been all right. You've made me look pretty good. Monkey had more good ways. Mr. President, not on a senator's note, but he said I'm co-sponsoring, pushing hard for a piece of legislation that's been put in. Doesn't cost anyone anything. It makes so much sense that I can't believe that the farm credit system that we're talking about in this legislation hasn't adopted it without being told the way. And because we look at that, I just think it can be wonderful to stay off the situation right now. That it wouldn't. We can help some people.
