U.S. President Ronald Reagan begins remarks, Vice-President George H.W. Bush standing in BG with other middle-aged and elderly adult Caucasian males. President Reagan: "Good morning to all of you, and welcome to the White House. Before discussing the positive initiative that we'll propose for the region of Central America, I'd like to share some wonderful news with you. We have just learned that total unemployment has dropped to 7.9 percent, and another 250,000 Americans found jobs last month. Now, I'm just beginning to wonder if the best thing we could do for Central America would be to export our own economic recovery program. But I think, in a way, that's what we're talking about. As I was about to say, in the coming days we'll send legislation to the Congress based on a remarkable bipartisan consensus of the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America. And I urge prompt congressional action and support."
