So if I "remember" being such a fan of Tristar movies, does that mean I have ownership in that group as well?

William J. Clinton
XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001
Remarks Announcing the Aircraft Contract With Saudi Arabia and an Exchange With Reporters
February 16, 1994
The President. Thank you very much, Secretary Brown. Ladies and gentlemen, in this Olympic season, we come here today to announce a gold medal win for America's businesses and workers.
Last year the Government of Saudi Arabia decided to find replacement aircraft for its civilian fleet of approximately 50 airplanes. Today, the Saudi Ambassador, Prince Bandar, has officially informed me that King Fahd has decided to purchase the entire replacement fleet from American companies, from Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. The purchase will be financed by the United States Export-Import Bank. It will total almost $6 billion and will support tens of thousands of American jobs in Washington, California, Kansas, Missouri, Utah, Arkansas, and several other States.
The purchase is a vote of confidence in American quality, American workers, and the competitiveness of our exports. As Secretary Brown said, it underlines the efforts that we have made, from NAFTA to GATT to the APEC conference to our national export strategy in lifting export controls on many products which for many years could not be sold abroad, to expand our markets, to reduce trade barriers, to create good high-paying jobs in America in a thriving and open world economy. It proves again that we can compete; we don't have to retreat.
The United States and Saudi Arabia have long enjoyed close relations. We have especially strong commercial relations in the field of civil aviation. With today's announcement, this proud tradition will continue well into the next century. Close economic ties complement the important political and strategic relationship that we have and that we value greatly with Saudi Arabia.
Let me note that I have already spoken directly with many Members of Congress and Governors and other State and local officials whose constituents will benefit from this sale. The message I gave them is simple: We worked hard on this, and we will continue to work hard at home and abroad to help our people thrive in the global economy.
In closing, let me thank especially King Fahd, Prince Bandar, and the Government of Saudi Arabia for this decision; Secretaries Brown, Christopher, and Pena; Tony Lake and others in the White House, including Bob Rubin and Mr. McLarty, all of whom had some role in this. We all spent a lot of time over a long period on this. The sustained effort that was done is another product of the teamwork that we try to practice in our administration. Secretaries Brown, Christopher, and Pena all personally traveled to Riyadh in part to emphasize the importance of this sale to our country. And I thank them especially for that.
Let me also offer my congratulations to the management and to the employees of Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Your hard work really made this possible. We just tried to bring it to the surface. America should be proud of this day. And I hope this day will lead us to many others like it.
Thank you very much.
Q. Mr. President, it's been reported that you personally called on King Fahd to buy American-made aircraft. I'm wondering if this means that you'll be taking a much more active role in drumming up business for U.S. firms? For instance, in Vietnam, since you've recently lifted the trade embargo there, might you encourage leaders in that country to purchase U.S. aircraft?
The President. It depends on what the facts are in any case. I think you can say, first of all, that the Secretary of Commerce has showed an historic level of activism, not only in this area but in many others. The Secretary of State has done a remarkable job in a short period of time in changing the culture of many of our embassies and getting them in country after country after country much more involved in trying to promote commercial activities and working with the Commerce Department and others.
The Secretary of Transportation has, I think, focused on the global aspects of his job more than any of his predecessors that I can think of. So I think what you could say is that this administration will be aggressively involved in this kind of endeavor. When I think it is appropriate and potentially helpful, I don't mind asking for the business. But I think it's something I don't want to lay down a general rule of thumb on because I think it will have to be taken on a case-by-case basis.
Japan-U.S. Trade
Q. Mr. President, are you still contemplating more sanctions against Japan, or can you rule that out for now?
The President. Well, ever since the talks I had with Prime Minister Hosokawa, we've been reviewing our options, consulting with our friends, and trying to assess what course we ought to take. And I think sometime in the next few days my economic team—Mr. Rubin is here—and our national security team will come back with a set of options and recommendations to me. And then I'll have something to say about that. That is different from, of course, the announcement which was made yesterday by Ambassador Kantor on the cellular telephone issue. That's an issue of longstanding development.
Aircraft Contract With Saudi Arabia
Q. Mr. President and Prince Bandar, actually, does this emphasis on redoing the Saudi commercial airline system, does it sort of represent a shift in priorities and a shift in emphasis? Does the Saudi Government no longer feel as much of a military threat perhaps as it did before and feel the need to—[inaudible].
Prince Bandar. No, just means Saudi needs to modernize its fleet, that's all. [Laughter]
The President. For those of you who don't know it, the Prince is an accomplished pilot, trained on American fighters in the United States, and he just wants to always see them in the best and the newest airplanes. [Laughter] Thank you very much.
NOTE: The President spoke at 10:12 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

XLII President of the United States: 1993-2001
Exchange With Reporters
February 16, 1994
Bosnia
Q. Mr. President, are there a lot of differences between the U.N. and NATO on Bosnia Sunday night?
The President. No.
Q. What is the problem——
The President. Well, I don't think there is a problem. The decision of the North Atlantic Council still stands. And the rules are clear: that the heavy artillery either has to be taken out of the safe zone or put under the control of the U.N. either in one of these areas where the weapons can be deposited; or if the weapons cannot be moved, they still must be under the control of the U.N.
So I think the issue is just simply working out the mechanism for control of weapons that are either too high in the mountains or snowbound or otherwise unable to be moved to one of these centralized areas. But so far, it seems to me that based on the detailed conversations I had today with the national security staff and the work the Joints Chiefs are doing that they're just working it out. They're just trying to work through what reasonable standards of control are. And I have no reason to believe that there's any difference at this time.
Q. Do you get the sense the Serbs are cooperating and will cooperate Sunday night?
The President. Well, I hope so. It's clear that the NATO allies are still firm. And it's clear to me that the U.N. is working out the real and meaningful definition of control of those weapons.
Health Care Reform
Q. [Inaudible]—can your plan pass without senior citizens group support?
The President. Well, I think the senior citizens groups are going to have to fight for long-term health care and for prescription drugs if they want it in there. They're going to have to fight. That's the message I gave them in New Jersey today. I think they will fight.
NOTE: The exchange began at 6:04 p.m. on the South Lawn at the White House, upon the President's return from Edison, NJ.

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969
608 - Remarks at the Enrico Fermi Award Ceremony
December 2, 1968
Chairman Seaborg, Dr. Hornig, distinguished ladies and gentlemen:
Twenty-nine years ago, a scientific paper was published which bore a very simple title: "The Mechanism of Nuclear Fission." That paper became the cornerstone for all the later understanding in this field, and its publication was a step toward unlocking the fantastic secrets of the nuclear age.
Today, we have come here to the historic East Room of the White House to honor the man who, with Niels Bohr, wrote that historic paper--Dr. John A. Wheeler of Princeton University: scientist, teacher, innovator, pioneer of modern physics, man of thought and man of action.
To the average layman, merely to read the list of Dr. Wheeler's achievements is to realize how incredibly complicated this world in which we live has become. Most of us are not so surefooted as you are, Dr. Wheeler, in the complex world and in the difficult vocabulary of the nuclear scientist.
But there is one thing that all of us--laymen and scientists alike--can understand: It is the idea that the human mind must be free to range as far and as freely as it can-unfettered and unconstrained. You are one who has chosen, like Ulysses:
"To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought."
Our hope is to sustain and to support you in that voyage.
Today, we honor a great scientist with the Enrico Fermi Award of the Atomic Energy Commission. In receiving this award, he joins such explorers of the scientific frontier as Dr. John von Neumann, Dr. Eugene Wigner, and that great and that good and that talented public servant, than whom there is no better, Dr. Glenn Seaborg, and Dr. Robert Oppenheimer.
But in honoring him, we honor in addition and also the idea of excellence, and we honor all who make the pursuit of knowledge their vocation.
Dr. Wheeler, it is a very great pleasure to me to welcome you and Mrs. Wheeler-and three other generations of Wheelers-here at the White House today. You do us honor by your visit. And you give your country great satisfaction and assurance.
Dr. Seaborg--this may be the last ceremony that he and I will be in together. It may even be a last appearance unless he comes in as he usually does at the budget. I will let you in on a little secret. I think he is the most difficult man in the government to say "No" to, because he is so pure, so conscientious, and such a great public servant.
Dr. Seaborg, this is an award for Dr. Wheeler, but I want to also give you one before I leave.
DR. SEABORG. Thank you. I can't resist the opportunity to say that perhaps I will take advantage of what seems like almost an invitation.
THE PRESIDENT. We should know that as modest as he is, he doesn't require an invitation.
DR. SEABORG. Mr. President, I would like to read the wording of the Enrico Fermi Award to John A. Wheeler and it says:
This award is for his pioneering contributions to understanding nuclear fission and to developing the technology of plutonium production reactors and his continuing broad contributions to nuclear science. And I might say, ladies and gentlemen, this award is signed Lyndon B. Johnson, the President of the United States and, also, incidentally by the five Atomic Energy Commissioners.
Note: The President spoke at 5:45 p.m. in the East Room at the White House. In his opening words he referred to Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Dr. Donald F. Hornig, Special Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Science and Technology.
During his remarks the President referred to Niels Bohr, Danish physicist, who developed the hypothesis of nuclear fission, Dr. John von Neumann, adviser to the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, N. Mex., which developed the atomic bomb, and former member of the Atomic Energy Commission, Dr. Eugene Paul Wigner, physicist and developer of preliminary nuclear research in the United States, director of research at Clinton Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn., and former member of the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission, and Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Manhattan Project and former Chairman of the General Advisory Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission.
Following the presentation of the award, Dr. Wheeler spoke briefly. His remarks are printed in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (vol. 4, p. 1657).

Red Storm Rising (1986)
Tom Clancy
26 – Impressions
"Warning, warning," called the troop commander. "Enemy choppers approaching from the north."
Ten Mi-24 Hinds arrived late, but they made up for it by killing a pair of tanks in less than a minute. German Phantom jets then appeared, engaging, them with air-to-air missiles and cannon in a wild melee that suddenly included surface-to-air missiles also. The sky was crisscrossed with smoke trails, and suddenly there were no aircraft in view.
"It's bogging down," Alekseyev said. He'd just learned one important lesson: attack helicopters cannot hope to survive in the face of enemy fighters. Just when he thought the Mi-24s would make a decisive difference, they'd been forced away by the appearance of the German fighters.

Signs Point to Business as Usual at the New CIA : Intelligence: Director Woolsey refuses to guarantee lawmakers prompt notification of covert actions, funding.
February 06, 1993 JIM MANN TIMES STAFF WRITER
WASHINGTON — Six years ago, in the wake of the Iran-Contra scandal, congressional Democrats and Democratic Party leaders heaped criticism on the way President Ronald Reagan and his CIA director, William J. Casey, had carried out covert intelligence operations.
One of the abuses they cited was the Reagan Administration's failure to inform Congress about covert operations for as much as a year after they were carried out. Another was the practice of raising money from foreign governments, such as Saudi Arabia, to finance American intelligence operations.
So how much change will there be at the CIA now that President Clinton has taken office and the Democrats are once again in charge of the U.S. intelligence community?
Not very much, if earliest indications are any guide.
At his confirmation hearing Tuesday, R. James Woolsey, Clinton's new CIA director, repeatedly refused to make any commitment to notify Congress before or within 48 hours after any covert operation--even though the Democratic Congress last year passed legislation, finally vetoed by President Bush, that would have required such notice.

Ashura 101
by MUHAMMAD SAHIMI in Los Angeles
24 Dec 2009 23:42
Ashura 1963
The first time that Ashura was used to great effect was in 1963. Under pressure from the Kennedy administration to carry out reforms, on January 26, 1963, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi declared the so-called White Revolution. It was a program of reform consisting of (1) land reform, whereby large agricultural land was to be distributed among peasants working on them [the landowners were to be compensated]; (2) nationalization of the forests; (3) privatization of state-owned industries; (4) granting women the right to vote; (5) workers sharing profits in industry; and (6) a nationwide campaign against illiteracy. (On the face of it, the program was progressive. Whether it was a success is not the subject of this article.)

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Wow!
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

"Smile Like You Mean It"
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no
