Isn't that funny, I don't know. I don't think anyone's ever volunteered to live anywhere else, except once when there was a big renovation of the White House when President Truman was President, I think he had to spend more than 2 years out of here, across the street. Mr. Jennings.

And we are, of course, in the East Room, which has its own great sense of history. And here all these boys and girls have joined us from around the country. You notice the President's tie, everybody? Audience members. Yes.
