I can only guess the mainstream media in the United States is waiting for me to bribe them.
Makes sense.

The American Presidency Project
Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks at the Presentation Ceremony for the Enrico Fermi Awards at the Department of Energy
April 25, 1983
The President. Secretary Hodel, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Neddermeyer, Dr. Trivelpiece, and ladies and gentlemen:
You know, from long years out on the mashed-potato circuit, you always tried to think of some reason that you could sort of express at the beginning of your remarks as to why you were qualified or what you had in common with the occasion that could bring you there. And the only thing that I could think of for this morning goes back some years to when I was doing a television show called "The General Electric Theater." [Laughter]
And I remember that I was up at that great installation in the State of Washington where so much was being done with nuclear power. And in one particular building where they were showing me through, why, we put on felt boots and we put on some gowns and then we went through. But then we had to peel all of this off. And there was a slot machine there in which you put your hands and your feet— [laughter] —and there were four dials that started ticking away as to the amount of radioactivity that you might have acquired in your extremities. And mine all—on three of them, stopped. But on my left hand, that dial kept on ticking, and it was getting up there toward where the numbers were red. And I was getting a little concerned. And the manager of the plant looked over my shoulder, and he says, "Oh, your left hand." He says, "That always happens." He said, "That's the radium dial on your wristwatch." [Laughter] I was very relieved.
I was 200 miles away from there when I realized—I don't have a radium dial. [Laughter] Every once in a while, I still put my head under the covers and look to see if my hand's lighting up. [Laughter]
But on December 2d, 1942, James Conant, the Science Adviser to the President of the United States, received a coded message during a phone call from Arthur Holly Compton, "The Italian navigator has landed in the New World," Compton said. Conant inquired, "How were the natives?" And Compton answered, "Very friendly."
