00:00Mr. Truett, your question to President Reagan.
00:03Mr. President, I want to raise an issue that I think has been lurking out there for two or three
00:07weeks
00:07and cast it specifically in national security terms.
00:10You already are the oldest president in history,
00:13and some of your staff say you were tired after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale.
00:19I recall yet that President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep
00:24during the Cuba Missile Crisis.
00:26Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances?
00:31Not at all, Mr. Truett, and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue
00:37of this campaign.
00:38I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience.
01:00If I still have time, I might add, Mr. Truett, I might add that it was Seneca or it was
01:07Cicero,
01:08I don't know which, that said,
01:09if it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state.
01:14So I will meet.
