The President. I'll give her the mike in just a minute, but I'll say welcome home. And in view of all this, I'm trying to see if I can't scare up a little something that I could stay in the hospital for. [Laughter]
The Audience. No!
The President. God bless you all, and thank you very much. And wouldn't you like to thank all these wonderful people too?
Mrs. Reagan. Well, I don't know what to say. Thank you very, very much. I'm very touched—Foster Grandparent Program people and the Just Say No kids and everybody else. And I'm very, very happy to be home—very.
The President. Well, bless you all, and I'm going to get her upstairs now.
Mrs. Reagan. Thank you.
The President. Thank you all very much.
Note: The President spoke at 10:20 a.m. from the State Balcony of the White House.
