I think once they find the information about, that this conference is going to present, they're going to be much more likely to move in that area.

Legislation is one way to do it.

This is a major step, we believe, but it's what we think is a leadership step as a model employer.

Today, we have more good news about continuing prosperity in our economy. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent, marking the 23d month in a row that the rate has been below 5 percent and the lowest rate in 29 years. Combined with the…

Well, first of all, a lot of avid sports people would tell you that they do some of that with handguns, too. But generally, yes, I think there's a big difference between assault weapons and other weapons. Some people claim they use them…

It's early. But they have this hotline, they have the student hotline. And if a student there knows that somebody has a gun who shouldn't, they know two things if they call, and both things are important. One is, they know they won't be…

See, I went to T.C. Williams High School, right across the river here, where I don't think they have medical--excuse me--metal detectors. Mr. Gibson. It's early. [Laughter]

Yes, but it can't prevent all of them.That is, it--we have actual numbers on it. We know how many people we've prevented from getting handguns, because they had criminal records, since we've put it in. But there are so many guns that it…

I agree with you. I didn't mean to--I was just pointing out that when we try to get these things through Congress as requirements, that's one of the things that will always be said. But I think it ought to be--I think this identification…

No, it's a good thing they'll go up. [She then said it was important to raise the price of weapons as high as possible, to keep them out of children's hands.]

What do you think they should have done? Student. I think they should have done a lot more than they did. I think at least if they didn't, they should have called his parents and maybe had them maybe even look for it. I was going to ask…

Good. Mr. Gibson. Let's go to Diane in the Roosevelt Room. Discussion With Students [Following a commercial break, Mr. Gibson and Ms. Sawyer introduced the first student, whose sister was wounded in gunfire in Evanston, IL, and he asked…

But you want to have a candid conversation. The reason is, this Congress came to power after the 1994 elections because in critical races the people who voted for more modest things, like the Brady bill, which the polls showed the voters…

So we have to make--anything we can do to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and kids, we ought to do. Mr. Gibson. But when you went to Littleton, a friend of yours who supports you on gun control said to me in the last 48 hours…
