the desert floor. 27 drops from 41 tries. Chalked up an unparalleled. Beginning of the year the X-15 was new, almost untried. At the year's end, it was proven a record holder. Discovering more about hypersonic speeds and extreme attitudes. Started a new crew on acceptance check and pre-flight ready. Joe Walker, chief research pilot, was the first to show that the X-15 is not a one-man airplane. X-15s were flight ready. Number one was involved in the Air Force NASA program to take the airplane with its present engines and push it to the limit of its abilities. And Joe Walker's first flight denotes the start of this research phase. The number two plane was still being flown by North American for investigation of stability, control, flying qualities. Rocket plane flying. 15 pilots club had another new member. The Air Force's project pilot had made his initial run and now was ready to start some serious research flying. With two X-15s flying and North American raking up nine drops with the number two airplane. The Air Force and NASA alternated pilots on a separate series of nine research expeditions. Flights that kept inching up on the world speed and altitude records. Both company and governmental pilots kept investigating the flight abilities of the planes in different quarters. Feeling out the new machines. Steadily pushing the operating area out farther. Gaining confidence. All flying during this period was done with the XLR-11, the small engine package. Its thrust of 16,000 pounds was adequate for early investigations, but everyone was waiting for the big engine. The XLR-99, a brute that would blast out nearly 60,000 pounds of thrust to drive the plane to peak speeds and altitudes. This engine is installed in the third and last plane of the series, which has always been slated to be the test bed for this new power plant. And Crossfield uses his time in between flights to ring out the installation. Preliminaries are out of the way and this run will be one of the final before flight. The throttle, having an idle output of 30,000 pounds, but able to be regulated between idle and 60,000 pounds of thrust is of tests proving the installation. After this start, they're ready for flight. Forward section, the tanks and the cockpit out of the blaze are out of the major part of the blaze. And the firemen were right on their toes and they moved in to blanket the tanks in the fire area with foam. The first reaction we had was that the engine had blown up, but like many first impressions, this was wrong. Soon as the parts cooled down, a disenchanted group of engineers moved in. And as you might imagine, things were pretty well scattered about. Close look at the film that you've just seen and here are a couple of frames that gave us our first clue. Just before the blow up, a cloud of vapor appeared ahead of the engine. So the search was concentrated on this area. Following up this lead, we found that the hydrogen peroxide tank had been round, smashed open. But with what? Lining up with the tank is a center structure of the ammonia tank and its shape matched the impacted area of the hydrogen peroxide sphere. But how could this part fail? Likely through over pressure. Now a check of the instrumentation showed tank pressures far over normal. Again, the question why? The pressure regulator was recovered and checked. It was determined that freezing caused by the very low temperature pressurizing gas that caused the regulator to stick full open. But there's a safety, a valve to relieve over pressure. This valve and the entire relief system was also checked. Here it was determined that a flow sensitive relief valve combined with a vapor disposal equipment had created enough back pressure to fail the tank. So a frozen regulator, a fully relief valve and a high back pressure relief system had gotten together and we had wrecked an airplane. The entire pressurizing and relief systems were analyzed, redesigned, tested and retested. We ran the combination time after time deliberately creating the most severe failures possible. Weeks passed before we and everyone else were convinced that the problem was licked. As a measure of how the confidence was restored, here is what happened on the 4th of August. On this historic date, Joe Walker let out a yip of joy. He had just pushed the modified small-engine airplane to a new speed record, then made his report to the public. Joe, how does it feel to be the fastest living human? I don't know if I feel much different than I did yesterday. He said that the waiting for the flight is over finally. Reached the maximum speed. Now what was your altitude then? Around 66,000. How long were you going that 2150 miles? Just one instant. August, just eight days later, Major Bob White was up before the cameras after his 136,500 foot record-breaking altitude flight. The flight today offered, I would say, no problems and nothing that could be considered a limitation as far as man's ability to fly an aircraft. I was very definitely impressed that I was going well almost straight up. Of course it wasn't straight up but it appears to be that way from the cockpit. Being the most dramatic point of flying at over 130,000 feet. The very dark blue sky and the lighter band that was immediately surrounding the earth and then of course the many many miles off in the distance that you're able to see. Looking to the future I would say that we hope very much and I would particularly like to continue on in work that would take us to a higher altitudes with manned aircraft. Now the full potential of the airplane with the small engines had been fully investigated. While the number two airplane was being fitted with the big engine, number one began a series of training flights. It was now given a chance to try its hand at piloting the research plane. Peterson, the Navy's representative, was the fourth man to ride the X-15. He made two flights in early fall. Then Jack McKay, NASA research pilot, took his first ride at the end of October. Captain Rushworth, the Air Force backup pilot, was next to show his skill at rocket plane flying. NASA pilot Neil Armstrong's last two flights closed the year. Training flights filled the gap while the number two was being given with the large engine, number three ship in half. Maximum effort has been exerted toward getting another engine and installing it in ship two. Months of work, weeks of painstaking trials, round the clock days of final pre-flight, were at last put to the test on the morning of November the 15th. This is the X-15 in its final stage of development. This run, if successful, will mark the beginning of a whole new era of flight research. Well, if you have a chance to check that yourself. Yeah, we got about 80,000 feet and a mock number approaching three. Scott, your radio talks out of it hesitant this morning before takeoff. What was that about? Oh, no, I think you misinterpreted that. Of course, we've been doing the best we can to get this flight off for five years. There's any hesitancy there. Without having observed the minimum thrust performance of the engine, do you think that the airplane now will be able to live up to its design promises of all the truth and speed, or will exceed it or really without question, I got a little faster today than we planned and we have in our previous flights, and my flight's gotten faster than we planned because for once in history, we've underestimated the drag on the airplane. I think it'll exceed its original expectations. Just seven days later, the second flight was launched and on the 6th of December, the 3rd. Both showed the engine to have all the abilities claimed of it. These two eminently successful flights closed the year. Is an unparalleled skill to thrust deep into unexplored areas, capture vital information, then settle to a safe return from that twilight land standing between earth.


Okay, so thank you for having me here this year again. Last year I've been speaking about to be released Open Solaris 2008. We released it last April and the important thing here was that it was the first time we had a fully redistributable Solaris which was very modular and based on an IPS called packaging repository which is sitting on the work very similar to the technology you were getting with Debian. This was a kind of a precondition to do other things you want to do with our project Kaiman because we needed a modular operating system which you can install easily in the pieces you need. With this precondition we could release, we could ignite the second stage in last November by shipping Solaris, Open Solaris 2018-11 including a distro constructor. This distro constructor allows you to build a fairly simple and easy custom distribution like either here on a one gigabyte USB stick where I simply configured some stuff which gives you an Open Solaris with an amp stack on top and then for example Tupel before my work two weeks ago because Tupel is a kind of a wonderful content management system they are here and the beauty of it installation is extremely simple and the download is just a megabyte which made it an idea, a pet project for me to test project Kaiman. So what I did in order to get a full stack with amp, my sequel and Tupel is the stuff I'm going to show you here. So what you basically need is the stuff from project Kaiman, it's under a CDL, another CDL license from Sun, this is the homepage of the project and we released the project in its first revision last November and a requirement to use the constructor is our November release from Open Solaris. What you're basically getting is a simple command line tool which is fairly robust which works with a manifest file where you put your information in and then you can do all the modifications for your own distribution as you like. You can define the packages you want to have in your distribution, you can add additional packages, you can teach it to use stuff from other places like I've been doing it with my Tupel package which came from somewhere else. It has plug-in interfaces to do post customizations and it's using CFS or advanced file system with some check pointing features to restart things if things are going wrong. The thing is it takes three or four hours to build your own distribution and therefore you're happy if you were able to roll back if something went wrong in the scripts you had.  You already get support for localizations and you're really getting at the end an installable package with the distro constructor. So here are the few steps you have to do. First thing is you want to beef up your current Open Solaris installation with a package which is called some W distro const which downloads through IPS and then you're basically ready to go. You need an x86 system should have 786 MB main memory and you better have some 8 gigabyte of free space and actually you better have some 10, 12, 15 because it will build up the entire file structure and this takes quite some disk space. Your best friend is going to become virtual box because or it'll allow you to test your results without having too many PCs and virtual box works like a piece together with the ISO images you're going to create and with Open Solaris. The information you need to do the job are basically here in this TOI and I'm going to talk you through the key steps to build your own custom solution. The first thing is if you want to add your own software and not just to recompose things you're getting from standard repositories, you have to run your own IPS server, you check in your own software what we basically did with Trooper. This is not a static thing, this is a dynamic demon and you just have to start your own IPS server on your box, run it on the port you want to and in a home directory you want to run and then you have to build your own IPS package if you want to do custom add on to the stuff. These things are fairly well described in the block above here and it's basically about uploading all the files and the directory structure you want your own package to be on. There are some tools out there, some enhancements which you can get from here. The next thing is you have to set up your build environment. This is kind of interesting because actually it's just file copying but you have to be a super user which was a surprise to me and you simply create your working directory as a CFS file system and as I told you you better have some 8, 10, 12 gigabytes for the entire thing. Then the simplest way is you're going to use the standard manifest file for the Slim CD, copy it to a place you want it to have and start patching the things and customize your own distribution or as much as you want and as far as you can bear it. What you then want to do is you customize your control file with standard things. You can change your own distro name, give it your own name. You can change your default authorities which means the place where you're pulling the packages from. You can add extra packages which you draw from the authority or you can add different repositories from different places because you may want to run your own public download server and you can choose to remove some packages from the live CD to the final installation because the live CD which is an installed CD needs extra software to install the target system. This stuff isn't anymore needed and there's advanced stuff as I told you. You can create all different kinds of file system structures on your live CD.  Once you configure your XML file, it's just about calling the distro constructor with the build option and the path to your file and then you have to wait a while because it will download all the packages you need and I think this is around 2,500 packages for a standard installation and it may easily take some three or four hours and you want to have a good network connection to your IPS repository server. If everything goes well, it's going to build all the file systems you need and you end up with an ISO image which you can use as a bootable live CD or with a USB stick like I created here where you can boot your system from USB stick. USB stick comes extremely handy for me because we have a lab where we put in Dutch heap servers and no one put in any more DVD drives and are booting the systems from a USB stick is really handy. The USB stick is being generated with another kind of small tool. It's called USB copy. This is a type of open-office capitalizer. It should be a USB copy in lower cases and it finds your USB sticks being plugged in and this is all you need and the real work to do your own custom installation for let's say including an extra Amstek is not more than 10 to 15 minutes are typing work and are a kind of 4 to 5 hours wall clock time till everything is being composed. Once you build your media on your USB stick or on a CD, you can use the stuff and you have all packages already on your CD so you can install a target system like a trooper, content management system without any extra downloads from the Internet. The live CD is a kind of special since it has some loopback mounted file systems which are read only. You won't be able to do everything with the live CD but you are able to install the entire target stack on any target system. You are getting all the install software for free, just click on the install icon and you will use the custom technologies from Open Solaris to create your target system including localizations, including all the users and all the dialogues you are getting from standard installation. So this is basically all the takes to build your own private custom distribution which is actually fully supportable. You can give it to any customer who is running commercial data centers. You can get support contracts for them. It's redistributable. You can give it to anyone. People can use it for free. No applications and on the positive side the full support you can get for carrier create data center operating system like Solaris. In the next three months you are going to see that the guys in the project are currently working on bug fixes. They are doing some usability improvements but there are no big changes there and they are currently working to support more processor architectures. We would like to get lots of feedback on how people build their stuff with the current technologies and therefore we are really eager to get feedback and I would encourage you to grab a CD over there or here including the small booklet which helps you to get started Open Solaris and build your own custom distribution. I'm already coming to the end. I'm with a department called ISV Engineering which has as well a huge open source team and we are working currently on building all kinds of custom distributions like my co-worker Jignes Scha is worked on a Postgres distribution which is just 200 megabyte as a total image without any graphics in and he really has extremely tiny and fast and very intelligent Postgres distribution. You may want to work with it as well. As I told you anyone can use it. It's free. It's redistributable and if you're doing stuff where someone wants to go productive with you can get our support from our Sun for this technology except your own packages because as long as you draw packages from the Symmetra repositories it's basically just a standard Open Solaris technology. I want to go back one slide. This basically brings me to the end. Thank you for listening and as you probably already realized just be aware that Sun is really turning more and more into an open source, a company and not just a hardware vendor from California and we have actually a significant number of open source engineers all over Europe mainly in Hamburg, the open office guys, the MySQL guys sitting around the Baltic Sea, the NetBeam guys in Prague. Do we have Roman Strobel here? Nope, he seems in the run. The VirtualBox guys being close to me and Stuttgart and the CritEngine guys in the Rings book. This makes in total some, I think some 200-300 engineers who are working on our open source projects plus other people like Amanda Waite who is working on LIDI and who wrote just an excellent white paper about scaling Amstex, get it from our booth from MySQL, Amanda is willing to sign it. So this is basically it. We have some three minutes. Any questions? This is something we're working on and I hope that we're going to ship some results in May hopefully in November. This is definitely something where usability has been suffering a little bit and we're now investing in going into more data center direction rather than in the pure laptop development direction from the beginning. Okay, someone else? So thank you for the time and if you want to play with it, the cities are down here. Thank you very much.


What's up you guys welcome to the single guy channel. My name is Lloyd. I didn't email recently from this guy And he basically writes. It's kind of a stat email and he says Lloyd. I Have had no luck with women in my life whatsoever. I have no friends. I've been depressed for a long time I feel unmotivated every time I've tried to make an effort in the past with women with people. I felt rejected I feel unmotivated and I don't know what to do Please help All right The funny thing about this email that I got is that I probably could have written it about a decade ago Because I was in the exact same position man I have a lot of I have a lot of empathy for people that are in this position because that's how I felt You know, I remember being a single and you know in college and I really didn't have a whole lot of options I didn't have friends. I was I was alone. I was depressed. I think I took three I took three tests three psychological tests At that time and pretty much all of them told me I was at risk for suicide And two of them told me to seek professional medical attention immediately actually I remember this So I definitely know how to help this guy out I doubt if you're a person watching this who feels completely lost and you don't know where to start or be successful with women You're talking to the right guy because I've been to that spot man I've been in areas where you just you feel like you're never gonna get out where you feel like there's no end And so I can definitely help this people this guy out So I'm gonna get into my story before I do I just wanted to say that I have a couple spots opening up in my coaching program And if you're a guy who's watching this video who's in this position if you're a motivated, dude I'm just looking for motivated people who are willing to join so I have three well actually two One of them got taken already. I have two spots open So if you're a guy who's really motivated who wants to get this started text me the words action You can send it to my email about single guy 2017 at gmail.com cool so now that I'm done with that blurb I Want to get into the story and the story is basically this where I was exactly like this guy, you know I was in an area. I remember I was in college. I Took those tests and then afterwards I had this girl dump me. She you know I've been friends on fire the whole year. She finally agreed to go out with me and Then the day after we went out.  So what did I do to get out of it? Well, the first thing I did was I remember being so like Walking around my campus. There was tons of gorgeous women all the time And I just remember feeling rejected by all of them because every time I try to make an effort They weren't interested or they were interested in the bigger more handsome guy. That was like You know standing next to me and it sucked it sucked being in that position all the time So what I did was and this is what you guys should all of you should start doing this Stop following thoughts on Instagram. I remember us, you know at the time Instagram didn't exist But you could find chicks online that were hot So I just said it I wasn't gonna look at any of that sort of stuff In fact, I stopped going on social media at all. Facebook was very popular at that time I don't think I think I deleted my Facebook or I I think you can put it on like suspended or or whatever I just didn't go on anymore And those two things put me a step in the right direction Because a lot of times what you'll do is you'll go on your computer You'll go on this or that or the other thing and you'll look at something And it'll be something that you want and because you don't have it now You start to feel sad and you sort of feel unmotivated and you don't want to do it So that'd be the first thing that I would say you should do The second thing that I would say you should do is write down a game plan Whatever you want to do write down what you want to do and go after it like it doesn't matter Just come up with a plan and you don't have to think it's gonna work Just do like have something there a plan that you think might make you push you in that right direction Okay, come up with a plan that has actionable things that you can do and then the third thing that I'm gonna say is when you come up with this plan Stop tying yourself to a certain identity Okay My identity at this point this is getting very personal was I always thought there was something wrong with me in high school I felt this in middle school. I felt this even I remember even feeling this in elementary school I remember feeling there was something wrong with me The kids just didn't want to eat lunch with me people didn't want to be my friend Like there's something that people just didn't like and I had a lot of explanations for I thought my face Looked too angry whatever it was but whatever the reason it didn't matter the fact is I was holding on to this horrible shitty identity For too long Changes are you have an identity that you're holding on to whether you're depressed whether you're you feel like there's something wrong with You like me whether you feel like oh, I'm just like, you know I have ADHD or whatever it is, you know something that you're holding on to like an identity that's preventing you from and I'm saying ADHD doesn't exist I'm just saying is an identity that people hauled on to that explains what they can't do something Okay, whatever your identity is if you're watching this video unless there's something seriously wrong with you Like you're completely disfigured or whatever you can be successful with women stop holding on to that identity Okay, so now that you've stopped watching thoughts on Instagram You're not using social media as much you came in with a game plan you've let go of your identity Well, maybe not totally let go of your identity But you've you said okay, I'm not gonna let this hold me back Once you started doing this start taking action start trying things try anything dude I remember there was this one scene in a in house of cards if this that show on Netflix and I think it was the second or third season and He's present. I think he's president at this point and no one in the country likes him All of the house doesn't like him all of his advisors think that his plans are gonna fail And he wants to pass this bill and he knows it's very unlikely that it's gonna happen So he goes into the meeting room and he says look, I know this bill is not a good bill I know it's probably going to fail I know we don't have support in any of the houses, but the least we could do is to fucking try And that's my favorite scene probably maybe in television when he just said we should at least fucking try because that's how I felt at that point at least if I did something Anything I would feel a little better about myself I would I could at least look myself in the mirror and said that I did something about it And whatever it is whatever game plan you came up with let's say you want to you know get a girlfriend Or you want to have the awesome girls hook up with some girls come up with a game plan to find that and try it Try something the truth is is when I came up with this game plan the stuff that I did for the subsequent years a lot of it didn't work a lot of it didn't work and I don't think I started actually being on the road to success seriously until I was like 22 23 and So obviously that's a huge gap But here's the thing dude. I was getting a little bit better than I was last year and Those little wins I focused on so that's the next part is focus on small wins Dude if you've got a girl to smile at you freaking great. That's awesome Don't focus on the negative part. Ah, she wasn't that cute or ah, you know like a hotter girl Smell that somebody else again stop comparing yourself to other people Focus on the small wins write them down if you were better than you were last year if you were better than you were yesterday You can be better than you are tomorrow It's very simple So I focus on the small wins and so that's what kept me going because if I just said oh, I'm worse than what I was And sometimes I felt like that but in the end I Reflected on it and I seriously thought about it. I was like no no I'm I'm doing better than what I was Okay, I can actually walk up and talk to people. I can actually get a girl to smile at me sometimes whatever it is So then after that the last part of this is when you celebrate small wins Stop thinking a million steps into the future Stop thinking like the reason why you feel unmotivated and the reason why you feel like there's no hope Is because you are thinking about oh, how do I get a hot girl?  You're thinking that far into the future That's not what you should be thinking about you should be thinking. Hey, can I get a girl to smile at me? Hey, can I have a conversation with a girl?  Oh my god like Maybe seven years and going out five nights a week or something like that for me to actually start to feel like I was good at something I don't want it to take that long for you guys. I want to take you know a lot shorter. That's why I'm making all these videos That's why I have the program that I have is to get guys who are motivated who are in that position up to that level So if you are interested in that again shoot me an email the single guy 2017 at gmail.com That's my story man. I Don't really have anything else to say about it. I've talked about this before when I talked about my depression I'll probably talk about this in different in different videos and I'll share different parts with you So hopefully you got something out of this man be on the path to success That's it start every every all beginnings are small every single one every single guy that I've ever known that has gotten good with women There was a time where he sucked there's a time where he was fumbling over his words And he didn't know what to say. I don't care if they grew up when their family was all getting late I don't care if they've been late since they were 15 There was a time where he didn't know what to say There's a times where he felt like he wasn't good there are times where he felt like you know He wasn't that attractive guy But he made it through every single guy goes through this and if you're man enough you can go through it too and be successful Thanks a lot. Good luck out there you guys


In less than a week, the United Nations Climate Change Conference kicks off in Glasgow. I will be there with a simple message. Nuclear is and will be part of the solution. The science are there and have been there for a long time. Woods are burning, floods and hurricanes are multiplying and temperatures are rising. Now is the time for action. And this action must be based on science and on facts. Because according to the best science of our day, nuclear power is part of the solution. Nuclear energy provides more than a quarter of the world's clean power. Over the last half century, it has avoided the release of more than 70 gigatons of greenhouse gases. Without nuclear power, many of the world's biggest economies would lack their main source of clean electricity. And we at the IAEA work every day to make sure that nuclear power is safe and secure. But to achieve net zero, we need more nuclear power. That's the scientific consensus from the IPCC and other leading climate experts. Governments are starting to converge around this consensus, but we must act faster. COP26 is a chance we cannot waste. It may be one of our last best opportunities to agree on concrete steps to achieve sustainable prosperity for all.  So let's ditch ideology. Nuclear partners with renewables can't get us to net zero and power our economies to sustainable prosperity. Nuclear power needs a place at the table. I will be in Glasgow to make sure it has one.


United States, and Mr. Teddy Gleason. We are extremely grateful. We do welcome you, Mr. President. And I think our memory does love America and has always been on the ready to uphold and promote. Delegates to the International Long Showman's Association, the President of the United States. Having the support of union members like yourselves has been a family of four and a fixed income of $20,000 a year would be $1,700. Four people who throughout the entire recession have been unemployed for seven weeks or less. And of all the weeks of unemployment, fifth of unemployment, but that doesn't mean that we don't think there are things that can be done about it. And that's why we advanced spending for the next seven years, but in a part of the world, it's very close and very important to us, Central America. We all know that since we do turn away, we'll pay a terrible price for our neglect. There is a war in Central America that is being fueled by the power petroleum passed through the Caribbean. It's well to remember that in early 1942, a handful of Hitler's submarines sank more if the Nazis during World War II and the Soviets today have recognized that the Caribbean and Costa Rica is as strong a democracy as you will find anywhere with a long, if they don't even have an army. If democracy can work in Costa Rica and Honduras, if it can work in El Salvador and Nicaragua and Guatemala, I believe that we must exercise that leadership and the time is now. Union leaders were arrested. Their presumed crime was trying to develop ties with independent trade unions, including some here of fight on their hands. There was sounds of struggle coming up and the one up still up on the limb called down and said, hold on. And he said, hold. Barely closed on his back and nothing in his stomach. He believed that God had smiled on him because he'd arrived and all their neighbors hoped that they would embrace democracy as they promised. In the first year and a half after the revolution, the United States sent 118. Let me say a few more words about those specific promises. The Sandinistas had promised the organization would be killed when she returned from the polls. She was a grandmother.  You can kill my family. You can kill my neighbors.  The real freedom fighters of El Salvador are turned up central America's struggle for freedom. We're working for political and economic development. Most of our aid is not military at all. We're providing a shield of military training and assistance to help our neighbors protect themselves, democracy, and dictatorship in this region. Many members of the Congress have responded in the genuine spirit of cooperation. They've suggested the formation of a national commission to build on our bipartisan concerns for high-loving America. The roots are working together, pulling together toward a common goal. Thank you very much. We welcome behavior programs, and we will participate in those things. And we remember, from going to school, we didn't go too long. We left in the summer grade, but we should take care of them and make sure that America is safe. And on behalf of this organization, I'd like to give you this little tag. I know you can't tag it home, but you can delete it if you're getting it. I'm glad to present it. And whenever we're at least in the ring, we can get together. When you're all wearing a song that we sang, I had the dreams a lot of you are now from. I'm in some trouble to change your schedules and all to be here, and I'm delighted. I know that a number of us have met before. Delighted to see them again and to see the others meeting for the first time. I'm not gonna take up too much of the few minutes that we have together with a monologue. Maybe we can have something of a dialogue here. But I think you do recognize that the base that I think has always been, or what has been a base to our policy abroad has been our alliance with the State of Israel. And I'm delighted and pleased to say that in spite of sometimes some impatience with each other and the struggles that have been going on over the last several months, nothing has shaken that. And we have gone forward, providing the technology for the lavy fighter that Israel is going to make, the plane, the F-16s and so forth, and we're still pledged to the security and the continued existence of the State of Israel. And next week, Prime Minister Bagan will be in Washington and just before him will be President Jamal of Lebanon and we're still dedicated to bringing about a solution to that problem and then to negotiating peace there in the Middle East. And I just wanted to say that here before we, and then I thought for that dialogue, if any of you have any questions or anything in a few minutes remaining far away, I'm gonna make a mistake. Mr. President, he's also the President of APEC. So we have both local leaders here and also some national Jewish leaders here. Morty is a fellow from Miami who is President of American Israel Political. You've heard of APEC, I'm sure. Yes. I'm from Miami. Mr. President, Lebanon remains a timber box. The agreements reached by Ambassador Habib and Secretary Shultz have not been fully implemented. The PLO has re-infiltrated Lebanon. Syria has refused to remove its troops and missiles. America is always asking Israel to give something to solve problems in the Arab world. Problems that are neither created by Israel nor solved by Israeli actions. You must make it clear to all parties there will be no deal at the expense of Israel. And also isn't the time apropos to move on to the security alliance with Israel? To your first question there, let me just say you're absolutely right. And Israel will not be asked at its expense to do something in this present situation. As a matter of fact, George Shultz in his several hours with Assad in Syria, over and over again they protested the agreement that Lebanon and Israel have arrived at and said that they could not accept it, that that's why they're not leaving, that they don't accept it. And over and over again, George Shultz said, that agreement stands and we stand with them on that agreement and no, we're not going to change it for Syria. And we do feel that way. One of our problems today is the leftover in Lebanon of their own civil war, which wasn't a single civil war, it was just factional fighting between warlords with their own militias. And until we can get the Lebanese army to the place where it has the power to preserve order, there is a handicap there in how much we can achieve. And we are working on that and we're training the Lebanese army and supplying the Lebanese army. And some brigades have come up to a strength where just recently when Israel moved back from that one close contact, Lebanon was able to move in. The situation is fraught with danger. There's no question about that because of the unusual nature of the whole Lebanese society and the factional fighting between their own groups. Now, the last part of your question. Is it the time to move on to the security alliance arrangements with Israel? Well, I think in a sense that is there. We have assured them and I have said personally to Prime Minister Biden that this country is number one going to, we, this came up between us when we were doing some things for some of the Arab states, but doing them in order, we've got to convince them that they can have confidence in us and in Israel and come together for a peace agreement. But we said, I said to Prime Minister Biden, we will never let Israel be in weaponry for the place that they're endangered. And in the negotiations for peace, they aren't something that we can impose on them. This, they will have to work out themselves. But we believe that the security of Israel must be a paramount consideration on their side. And we want that kind of fairness. And no, we're, this country has always been since 1948 dedicated to the preservation of Israel. And that still goes. Mr. President, the problems of Soviet penetration into Central America is one that we in South Florida are particularly sensitive to. We share your concerns regarding El Salvador and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the support that we find to stabilize the region against communism and communist aggression. However, just as you support our allies in Central America, we urge that you also support our allies in the Middle East. Israel, as you are well aware with America's backing, is the only ally that is able to withstand both internal aggression and our external Russian aggression. Mr. President, you have sent signals to Russia regarding Central America. Could you send the same signals to Russia regarding Israel as an ally of the United States? And let me give you a few specifics. Perhaps, as Mort Silverman said, a codification of the arranged distance between the United States and Israel. A moving forward rapidly on the Lavee project, the aircraft project. Increase funding if necessary to provide Israel's economic security and make abundantly clear to Syria that we will not make any deal, any deal at all at Israel's expense. Would you consider these, Mr. President? And thank you very much. All of these things, I have to tell you, are accomplished facts. As a matter of fact, a team of ours headed by Ambassador Stessel has just returned as of this morning touring nine capitals in Europe among our NATO allies on this whole matter of Soviet violation of human rights, particularly with regard to the emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union where they're violating their pledges and so forth, and came back with real strong alliance with us, of our partners in NATO. With Israel, we are going forward on all of those things, and right now our aid to Israel is much greater than it is to any other place in the world where we are extending aid. Their security is paramount. And I can only tell you one thing about some of the things, for example, the emigration question.  If someone is held up to view and then says, well, if I give in on this now, I look to my own people as if I rolled over under pressure. Please just take my word for it that there are, there are contacts and there are messages that are not on the front page of the favor.  Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, we're here. Mr. President, I'm Herbert Katz. Those of us who have visited the Middle East feel strongly that in order to fully comprehend the territorial and strategic relationships that existed there and how these are related to achieving a just and lasting peace, one must see firsthand these territories and countries. A visit there would be helpful. Your possible visit would be helpful to those of us who have advocated your candidacy in 1980 and hope we have the opportunity to do so in 1984. We know of your sincere desire for peace and stability in the region and your strong support for the state of Israel. This perception will be reinforced by such a visit and will further enhance your status in the Jewish community. Mr. Prenner again indicates that he probably also does not think this is exactly the right moment. But it, yes, very definitely, I will. Thank you very much. Allen? We asked the President, this might be the last one they tell me. Following up your statement about the migration from Russia, I'd like to ask you this, Mr. President. The Russian government is violating the Helsinki Accords and closing down its exit doors on the human rights activist who want to leave Russia. Rumor has it that in Madrid, we are close to an agreement with Russia on human rights. Can we assume that the United States will not join such an agreement without a commitment from Russia for the release of Sharansky and the other leaders in the human rights movement in Russia? Once again, and knowing that, I don't know what secrets and ideas we can cover, may I tell you that you just believe me that something has been done. We, in your work here, this has been a very definite part of reaching the agreement that I think they're going to end up something. Well, thank you, Mr. President. As I say, I want to be on the phone with you.
