Subsequent toasts, if any, may be

NATIONAL ANTHEMS:
It is not recommended that the National
Anthems of the United States and the
Federal Republic of Germany be played
unless the sponsoring organization is
confident that the orchestra is able
to play the Anthems very well. It is
not necessary to play the Anthems at
strictly social functions or at formal
luncheons and dinners, as awkward
situations and inconveniences may
result. It is not the custom in
Washington to play the Anthems at
State Dinners. When the Anthems are
played, it is customary to play the
Anthem of the Visitor's country first
and the Anthem of the United States
second.
When the flags of the United States
and the Visitor's country are used
consider the area where the flags
are to be placed as a stage or a focal
point, then place the flag of the United
States on the left as viewed from the
audience, and the flag of the Visitor's
country on the right.

Background on centerpieces to be used for the
dinner honoring German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt:
The silver centerpieces to be used at the dinner are part of the
collection of Presentation Pieces in the Museum of History and
Technology at the Smithsonian Institution.
Silver presentation pieces come from the custom of giving a piece
of silver to an individual in recognition of service or in appreciation
of accomplishment. The Smithsonian Collection represents a panorama
of deeds, events and persons that have been considered worthy of
recognition, throughout the country's history. It represents taste and
craftsmanship in America at various periods from the mid-18th
century to the 1920s, with one piece dating 1958.
The pieces are on loan to the White House for the dinner Dec. 5
honoring German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Twelve pieces will
be used. Among them:
-Miniature replica of a ship under full sail presented to Adm. Robert E.
Perry by the Royal Scottish Geographic Society in 1910. It is 24" high.
- The silver punchbowl presented to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
by Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia in 1958.
- The bowl from a punch set presented to Col. George Armistead by the
citizens of Baltimore in recognition of his services in the defense of
Fort McHenry against the British in 1814. It is a ball-shaped bowl, 12 1/2"
in diameter, supported by four eagles mounted on a round base.
- A pair of large, ornate silver pitchers presented in 1838 by the Whig Young
Men of New York City to their chairman, Robert Charles Wetmore.
- A teakettle and stand given to Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs in 1853 by the
citizens of Washington for his work on the Washington Aqueduct.

EXCHANGE OF TOASTS
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT
AND
HELMUT SCHMIDT
CHANCELLOR OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
THE STATE FLOOR
10:00 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Chancellor, it is a great
privilege and a pleasure for me and our people to have
you and your Foreign Secretary, Mr. Genscher, and the
others from your party visiting us in Washington on this
occasion.
We, of course, feel that this gathering is a
reaffirmation of the longstanding friendship of your people
as well as ours, your government as well as ours, a friend-
ship that has a very broad base in military security,
economic relations, people to people relations.
Of course, the pages of history in the United States
are filled with contributions made over the 200 years of
our Nation's history, contributions made by people from
your country.
It goes back as far as Baron Von Steuben,
who was probably the finest military training officer,
as well as fighting officer, who took a pretty ragged
American outfit at Valley Forge and made it capable and
competent to meet the challenges in the next spring.
And, of course, Abraham Lincoln had a very out-
standing German who was a member of his Cabinet, who
contributed significantly to our history in that day and
that era.
Of course, the contribution by people from
Germany to our country also includes the arts, it includes
science, it includes literature, and, as Larry Brown and I
know, there are some outstanding Germans who have
contributed to our proficiency in athletics, one who may
come to mind for some of us in the older age group.

Lou Gehrig was probably a legendary baseball
player in our athletic history and his ancestry, of course,
was that of your country. But with the people who have
helped to make America great, and those that are working
with us today in the field of the military, the
economic areas, the rapport I think is good for not only
each of us but for the world at large.
Twenty-five years of your history has been a
period of 25 years of close personal relationship to the
United States, and vice versa.
We seem to have the same philosophical views, the
same ideological opinions as to how you can move ahead.
We tend to subscribe in America to the views of one of
Germany's greatest minds, one of the world's greatest --
I am told, as I read history -- Goethe: He once wrote
that we can only earn our freedom and our existence by
struggling for it every day.
For 25 years, day in and day out, the Federal
Republic and the United States have worked together for
a freer, better world in a spirit of mutual friendship and
great mutual respect.
So, it is my privilege, Mr. Chancellor, in the
spirit of our friendship and cooperation and mutual interest,
to offer a toast to you and all that you embody and that
of your great country.
To the Chancellor and to the Federal Republic
and its people.
CHANCELLOR SCHMIDT: Mr. President, Mrs. Ford,
ladies and gentlemen:
I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for
the kind and warm words you have addressed to my party
and to me. I think one of the two of us has to confess to
this distinguished gatheringthat, despite the fact that we
did not intend to solve any bilateral problems between
ourselves, because we don't have any bilateral problems
(Laughter) nevertheless we did make a bilateral agreement
just tonight insofar as we agreed to put away the speeches
which were made for us. (Laughter)
And so, the President did and I am going to do
it, but we allowed for just one quotation from the
speeches. You will later on detect me, or observe me
looking to my paper once, but before so doing, I would
like to point out that I think you were especially
generous, Mr. President, in talking of the last 25 years
of our really very good and ever-improving relationship,
a relationship between your great country and ours.

You were very gracious not to mention periods
of history before that --- I will not dig into it. But:
I would like to say that my compatriots and I, myself,
we are really thankful for the great help which we have
received from your people immediately after the war and
that we also are thankful for having had your assistance,
your standing firm on matters vital for our own sake;
for instance, for your standing firm on Berlin all these
years.
You have just come back to the United States from a
meeting with the number one man of the Soviet Union.
From what I understand from your report to us, you have
clearly added one step further in the policy of bringing
about balance in the world and the stability of that balance;
and bringing about detente, if you wish to call it that, a
policy which we have followed, both of our nations,
both of our governments, parallel to each other, as we have
all these long decades followed in common the policy of
making ourselves capable, if need should arise, to defend
ourselves against threats or pressures from outside.
It seems to me that so far. we have been very
successful together with our other partners within the
Atlantic Alliance. In the meantime, new problems have
come up which we did not foresee ten years ago --
referring to the Middle East or referring to the oil price
explosion -- I think one might call it an explosion --
and all our economies so far have not adapted to that
enormous change, whether it is in the field of real
incomes, whether that is in the field of balance of
payments, whether it is in the field of aggravating the
process of inflation.
We have talked at length today, and also your
Secretaries and aides and my party have talked at length
about economic problems. We have exchanged our analyses,
we have exchanged our attitudes, our plans for future
actions, advice was given freely and taken from both
sides -- this is thepoint where I have to look to my
paper (Laughter) -- because I wrote down in my own hand-
writing a little quote.
I think it is from some American. He is not as
famous as Goethe. Nevertheless, it reads: "Free advice
is the kind that costs you nothing unless you act upon
it." (Laughter)
So, I warn you, Mr. President, to be careful in
acting upon our advice, and we will be careful on our
side as well.

SEAL FORD

But coming back to a more serious aspect of
the matter, I think I could say on behalf of my party,
especially my colleague Genscher, and the rest, that we were
very thankful for this free exchange of analyses and
talks and of the plans we might put into operation in the
next time, because we do really feel that your great
country, five times as big -- I mean in economic size --
than ours, and our second biggest in terms of foreign
trade, we do really feel that both our responsibilities,
vis-a-vis the world's economy as a whole and the other
partners in the free world economy, request from us that
we try as much as one can to coordinate our economic
policies as we have coordinated our defense policies, as
we have coordinated our detente policies, as we tried to
coordinate our policies all over the globe.
Now, at this present stage I think in the
economic field there lies a great part of our faith,
not only of your people, also of ours, also of other
people.
If the economic future becomes bleak and uncertain,
economic uncertainty and economic failure can lead to
economic unrest not only, but also social unrest and
also domestic political unrest in a number of countries,
not in the first instance in the United States of America,
not in the first instance cf our country, but we might be
infected in the course of time.
I think all my compatriots heard with great
satisfaction what you said this afternoon about you
would not permit an aggravation of the downward trend of
the economy, which at present is characterizing all
our economies.
I am not going to too much dig into that field.
I only wanted -- using this as an example, the economic
exercise of ours as an example -- to express again, sir,
our gratitude for this really free, and frank, and
candid exchange of views and to express our gratitude
for the endeavor on both sides to coordinate and harmonize
our policies which, in fact, does not mean that both
of our parts have to exactly operate along the same lines,
but means that we will have to follow complementary policies
in order to achieve the same goal that we have in common.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to rise and
drink to the President of the United States and our
charming hostess.

Dear Ms. Collins:
It was a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon and in that connec-
tion, I am herewith enclosing some up-dated biographies and recent
photos of Joel Grey for use relative to his appearance at The White
House Dinner for Chancellor Schmidt of West Germany on December 5th.
It might be of interest to note that Mr. and Mrs. Grey headed the
west coast Committee To Free the Panovs
a committee composed
of members of the arts and organized nearly a year ago to protest
Russia's treatment of Valery and Galina Panov, the famed Russian
ballet dancers. Due in part to their efforts here on the west coast
and of those celebrities supporting the cause, Mr. and Mrs. Clive
Barnes in New York, and Sir Lawrence Olivier in London, the Panovs
were finally freed and are now residing in Israel. And as a matter
of fact, Joel is co-hosting the "Mike Douglas Show" this week and
the Panovs are his guests.
Other honors received by Joel Grey this past year include the "Father
of the Year" award along with then-Vice President Gerald R. Ford and
others, an honorary Doctorate of Letters degree from Cleveland State
University, and the Israel Cultural Award from the Israel Bonds Asso-
ciation.
Please feel free to call upon me should you require anything further
at this time.

Biography
BEVERLY HILLS. CALIFORNIA
Broadway
On February 24 at the Palace Theatre in New York, Joel Grey will
return to Broadway in Goodtime Charley"
a-musical
set
in
the
era of Joan of Arc in which he will play Charles Valois, the Dauphin,
who later became Charles VII King of France I decided on this
musical,' says Grey "because for the first time the story of the
Dauphin and Joan will be told from his viewpoint. History regards
him as a dolt and a retard but the truth is that he was a terribly
shy young man who went on to become a tremendous leader of France,
because of the love and strength he got from Joan. It's a love
story with music."
For his outstandingly brilliant performance in "Cabaret," Joel won
the Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor in 1972.
He was also honored with the Foreign Press Corps' Golden Globe, the
National Society of Film Critics' and National Board of Review's Best
Supporting Actor Awards, and caused the National Association of Theatre
Owners to name him Musical Star of the Year.
He won the British Society of Film and TV Arts Most Promising New-
comer to Films Award (The British Oscar), the All-American Press
named him Best Actor in a Musical, and BOXOFFICE magazine gave him
their coveted Star of Tomorrow Award.
As a follow-up to this award-winning performance, Grey displayed his
versatility by starring as Franklin Wills, a clairvoyant, in Para-
mount Pictures' "Man On A Swing." The critical response to his
dramatic/cinematic debut was unanimously enthusiastic as witnessed
by the following:

The same critics who lauded his dazzling performances as the decadent
Master of Ceremonies in "Cabaret" and the clairvoyant Franklin Wills.
have been equally excited over his return to the nightclub stage
pointing out:
HOWARD KISSEL, WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY: "One of the few genuine stars in
recent years is Joel Grey, who made his New York nightclub debut
Tuesday at the Waldorf's Empire Room. He is dynamite!"
TIME MAGAZINE: "Nightclubs are coming back. One good reason is the
fast-footed singer-dancer, Joel Grey."
BRUCE SINCLAIR, CUE MAGAZINE: "I have never seen a more exciting per-
former on a nightclub stage than Joel Grey if there were an Oscar
or Tony for nightclub performers, Joel Grey would win hands down."
JOHN L. WASSERMAN, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE: "A more graceful,
enchanting, impeccably professional act mply does not exist."
Grey has been consistent in earning the respect of critics and the
approval of audiences since he broke into show business at the age
of ten making his acting debut as Pud in "On Borrowed Time" at The
Cleveland Playhouse. As one critic stated, "I can only say that
the boy is phenomenal. He is as completely at home on the stage
without being in the slightest degree precocious as any child I
have ever seen."
He knew then that he was "hooked." But his father, comedian Mickey
Katz, insisted he continue school. He graduated from Alexander
Hamilton High in Los Angeles and on weekends during his student years,
was allowed to appear in his father's stage revues. About this same
time, he was featured by the late Eddie Cantor in Cantor's famous
"Colgate Comedy Hour" television shows.
A series of nightclub appearances across country followed, including
a headline engagement at New York's famed Copacabana when he was just
19. His fast-growing reputation as an entertainer of the first rank
became an international one with his appearance at the London Palladium.
Through Strong these years of playing the nightclub circuit, Grey developed
a lasting aversion to the lonely and disillusioning life of the cafe
entertainer. Ironically, this training was to prove most valuable
in later years in his creation of the debauched Master of Ceremonies
in the stage and film versions of "Cabaret."
However, at the time, his aversion was strong enough to make him give
up nightclubs entirely and return to his original commitment, the
theatre. He joined the Neighborhood Playhouse to study with Sanford
Meisner and later worked with Wynn Handman.
(Page -2-)

His consumate versatility attracted offers in all media of show
business.
In television, Grey played everything from psychopathic killers
to juvenile delinquents, western bandits to rock 'n roll singers,
and in shows ranging from Maverick to "December Bride". He
also starred in and won national attention for his performance
in the title role on the NBC Special, "Jack and the Beanstalk".
and was seen m
During these years, Grey appeared in three films: "About Face,"
Broadway in the Phoenix Theatre's "Littlest Revue," in which also introduced
"Calypse Heat Wave" and "Come September, and was seen off-
he co-starred with Tammy Grimes.
He was next seen on stage in what he refers to as his "replace-
ment era". Grey took over for Warren Berlinger in Neil Simon's
"Come Blow Your Horn"; next he was chosen to play the Anthony
Newley role in the National Touring Company of "Stop The World,"
subsequently replacing Mr. Newley on Broadway. He substituted
for Tommy Steele in "Half A Sixpence" during Steele's vacation
then continued his stage career on his own in such productions
as the Ronald Ribman play, "Harry, Noon and Night," appearing
with Dustin Hoffman at the American Place Theatre. In several
seasons of summer stock, he starred in "West Side Story,' "Finian's
Rainbow" and "Tom Sawyer"
Like most actors with a promising career, Grey was waiting for
that special role that puts one on top. In the interim, me
appeared in "Mardi Gras" at the Marine Theatre in Jones Beach.
He calls this "the summer of my discontent". Little did he know
waiting It wasin came when 196 Hal Prince called to tell him he was signed
that right around the that corner was the break for which he had been
for the role that of the M.C. in "Cabaret". His critically-acclaimed
performance won him the 1967 Antoinette Perry ("Tony") Award
as Best Supporting Actor in a Broadway Musical, as well as the
Outer Circle Critics Award and the Variety Critics Award.
In 1969, he followed his dazzling "Cabaret" success as star of
the New York musical hit, "George M!" His portrayal of the
Yankee Doodle Dandy Song-and-Dance Man won him the Variety
Critics Award as Best Actor and his second Tony nomination.
Following a year's run on Broadway, he starred in a six-month

NBC Special, George M!" and this past year headlined the A.G.V.A.

Schmidt Dinner
Flowers on the tables
The focal point on the table will be the antique silver
pieces from the Smithsonian. Surrounding the pieces
in a wreath-like effect will be gerber daisies and
ming fern. The daisies are multi-colored in shades
of pink to match the table cloth. Flanking the center-
pieces are four tall silver candlesticks.
(NOTES:
1. The table cloths are the same ones used at
the Kreisky dinner.
2. The same type of daisy was used for the brunch
yesterday. The gerber daisy has a pointed leaf
and is much larger than the daisy we are used
to seeing.
3. The candlesticks used come from the White House,
Smithsonian, and Blair House. They need 48 and
didn't have that many in stock here.)
