                          THE WHITE HOUSE

                   Office of the Press Secretary


                           PRESS BRIEFING
                                 BY
                           LARRY SPEAKES
                                 ON
                   THE PRESIDENT'S TELEPHONE CALL
                   TO THE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON,
                   LIEUTENANT ROBERT GOODMAN, JR.,
                   AND AMBASSADOR ROBERT PAGANELLI

                          January 3, 1984

                          The Briefing Room

11:04 A.M. EST

             MR. SPEAKES: The President, in the photo, had a statement
on the release of Li-utenant Goodman and Jesse Jackson's success. I
think you'll have a readout on that shortly.

             This morning at 9:41 a.m. -- for ten minutes -- the
President spoke with Ambassador Paganelli, Reverend Jackson, and
Lieutenant Goodman.

             Some quotes: To Jessie Jackson -- It is a great day
here in Washington --.

             Q     Can you slow down?

             Q      It is a great day --

             MR. SPEAKES: -- here in Washington. All Americans thank
you. There have been a lot of prayers in Washington. 

             Q      Slower, please.

             Q      He's talking to Jackson at this point?

             Q      Prayers -- here in Washington?

             MR. SPEAKES: Yes. I have been praying for you.

             Q      Great. (Laughter.)

             MR. SPEAKES: I couldn't be happier.

             Q      Oh, yeah.

             MR. SPEAKES: To Lieutenant Goodman:

             Q      Hold it, hold it --

             MR. SPEAKES: To Lieutenant Goodman: It's good to hear
 your voice. I've talked with your wife. She has great faith in you.
 We've all had great faith in you, and great admiration.

              That's the end of the quotes. The President will be
 meeting with Reverend Jackson tomorrow, times to be established later.

              Q     And Goodman?
