I found him to be a determined man, but one who is willing to listen. I had more than 15 hours of discussions with him, including 5 hours of private conversation just between the two of us. Let me first just give a little background.Īs you know, Nancy and I returned almost 2 weeks ago from Geneva where I had several lengthy meetings with General Secretary Gorbachev of the Soviet Union. I know I've been looking forward to this chance to speak to you, because I've got a very important mission that I want young Americans to be a part of. When you heard that you'd have to cancel your scheduled class for a special assembly, well, I hope you weren't too disappointed. There's one thing that I bet, though, hasn't changed.
You know, I've only been out of school a few years, but - they tell me that things have changed quite a bit in the meantime. I hope you can all get out to Sunrise for that event. It's great to be here at Fallston High School, home of the Cougars - and the Cougar cheerleaders, who I understand will be competing in a big contest this evening. Governor Hughes, Senator Mathias, Representative Bentley, and the representatives of the board of education, the administration, the faculty, and you, the student body - believe me, it is good to be here. >Thank you, Alyson, and thank you all very much.
