I want to do it right,
because it's the United States.
Conceived by President Kennedy in 1961,
impresses the visiting leader,
it gives him the distinction
Together we have agreed
to safeguard nuclear materials
and to shut down
plutonium production reactors.
Together we can and we will
make a difference
not only for our own people
but also for men, women,
and children all around the world.
right now inside.
The President and Mrs. Clinton
are receiving the official party.
We have a full day, full slate
in front of us.
We have some canopies to put up yet,
flower material to put around,
there's a lot of activities going on,
yeah.
See ya later.
All right, Jim what else you got?
the first preparations
for the state dinner are underway.
Here the butlers will find some
of the 1,500 different pieces of china
to set tonight's tables.
It's one of a hundred different tasks

and on the night of November 1, 1800,

It seemed to settle in on him.
And it's really, you might say,
the first experience, you know
of a President having in that house
and see by now
it is the President's house.
It seems almost an afterthought,
