I don't like it and I don't mean it and I apologize in advance, but the story is interesting so I will tell it. It goes like this: The President brought me into the Oval Office and he showed me on the table three phones; one red, one white and one blue. And he explained to me: "The white is the direct line to Mrs. Thatcher. The blue to President Mitterrand." And then I asked him. "What is the red phone?". "That is a direct line to God." So, I asked the President, "Mr. President, do you use it often?" And the President said, "Oh, no. Very rarely. It's very expen- sive. Long distance — so long a distance. And I can- not afford it. I have to cut the budget and ... ." (laugh- ter.) So, then the President vi- sited Jerusalem and I showed him my office there are three phones. One was white, one was blue. And I said, "The white is a direct line to President Sadat." (By the bye. I have such a line and he has such a line.) "And the other, well, to Mrs. Thatcher." And there is a red phone. And the President asked, "What is the red phone for?" And, I said, "This is a direct line to God." So the President asked me, "Do you use it often? I say, "Ev- ery day." "How can you af- ford it" And I said, "Here in Jerusalem, it is being con- sidered a local call." (Laughter and applause.) Now, Mr. President, neither of us has direct lines to God. I only believe that God listens to the prayer of a Jew and a Christian and of a Moslem of every human being. But, if I have to con- tinue with the story, then I will say that when you come, as I do believe, to Jerusalem, I will im- mediately put at your dis- posal the red phone. (Laughter.) On the house. (Laughter.) A local call.
