[0:00] Mr. President, your master has welcomed you again.
[0:04] Always glad to have you here.
[0:09] I understand we have a bill in here, huh?
[0:43] All right.
[1:36] He is required to arrive at the next stop on the second floor.
[2:06] Thank you.
[2:38] Well, I want to say that we, uh, we always want the opportunity to, uh, be reminded at first that, very fine, this is a wonderful reception.
[2:52] I think now, on this beautiful day of that magnificent house we stayed in, I was on the other side.
[2:59] Ah, beautiful.
[3:01] And, uh, the dinners and, uh, everything.
[3:03] But mainly the talks, uh, and, uh, I, uh,
[3:11] Gary is a strong man.
[3:13] He's got the peace.
[3:16] He's a good man.
[3:18] He's a good man.
[3:19] And his wife, I think that probably means the whole group over there.
[3:24] I think there are outstanding people.
[3:26] And I think our people that have gone there since I think you were there have been very impressed.
[3:31] We've been trying to follow up on some of these things, and they haven't.
[3:35] All of that moves as fast as we would like, but they're coming along.
[3:40] They're coming along.
[3:40] You've got any comments about this?
[3:43] Yes, we have a few technical problems and some of the economic things, but it's all right.
[3:47] I told you that on these things, we want to make sure that we keep the commitments we've made.
[3:55] Mr. Gary, we're there, so we can show you hands on it.
[4:04] We should be buying more Polish hands.
[4:07] We really can.
[4:08] As many as we can.
[4:09] Yes, about over $60 million.
[4:10] $60 million today.
[4:10] Yes.
[4:10] There are some difficulties today because the amount is not better in the area.
[4:15] Improvements, you know, in the hands.
[4:17] We have about one or two months' time.
[4:21] I am very glad to inform you, Mr. President, that this is not so.
[4:39] The second one is discussions with both holders.
[5:07] They said, our points of view are not very close.
[5:11] But I hope that in a short time...
[5:17] There are always problems.
[5:20] The word knows that.
[5:21] It looks like today was the next day to come to some agreement.
[5:27] Because the last thing discussed over one month was a long time.
[5:32] Oh, yes.
[5:32] Well, the attempt was actually two years with the Soviets.
[5:43] Well, it's clear.
[5:46] We were checking into that one.
[5:58] I spoke to Kurt about it the other day.
[6:16] I don't remember that last thing in front of the street.
[6:17] I don't think it was that long.
[6:18] It's the last fight with that problem officer.
[6:19] He had it for 80 tables.

[6:40] He had it for 80 tables.
[6:41] He
[6:42] This is the problem, the interest on the payments, and we'll have to take stock of where we are and come back a little later.
[6:53] He does all the work we do.
[7:10] I don't want, obviously we want to move forward with our various programs, it's very important to both countries and the universe, but I've told everybody that I don't want our arrangements and our agreements with other countries, like Poland this summer, here to have the same treatment, you know, in the same
[7:37] particularly there's a special feeling because of our ties with Polish people, and so we work on this, we work on these things.
[7:45] Of course there are these business problems, as you know, and they have to be negotiated.
[7:49] Yes, I know it's an economic matter.
[7:52] It must be negotiated.
[7:53] It must be negotiated.
[7:54] I have a very good question.
[7:55] The last time you were on the side, there was a very interesting contraction of big companies, the corporations, the heavy factories.
[8:06] Well, I hope you enjoyed it.
[8:16] I hope you enjoyed it.
[8:22] Oh yeah, make sure the new year is good.
[8:26] You know, I hope so.
[8:36] As I often said, the Polish people have suffered enough.
[8:38] Now all they have to do is go forward.
[8:41] Goodbye.
