SUGGESTED REMARKS: INTRODUCTION OF DAVID FROST
Background: David Frost is the son of a Methodist minister. He has
been a primary school teacher, a fine soccer player (he turned down a
professional contract to continue his studies) and a student at Cambridge.
He is also a best selling author and has served -- in England -- as a
TV commentator on major events such as elections. He has been
awarded the Order of the British Empire.
This is the second night in a row that we honor a distinguished
Englishman at the White House. As far as British-American relations
are concerned, we can surely say "this is the week that was. rr ("That
Was The Week That Was" was Frost's first U. S. television show.)
David Frost says that his goal on his television show is "to help
people be themselves. 11 As one who has appeared on a TV special with
him, I can say that he succeeds very well in meeting that goal. And I
know a number of government officials who are here tonight and who
also have been interviewed on his show will agree with me (Agnew,
Volpe, Klein, Finch). But tonight we can turn the tables on him. We
are the hosts and he is the guest. I hope we can make him feel as "at
home" in the White House as he has made all of us feel on his television
program.
Some critics say that Mr. Frost's success in the art of conver-
sation comes from the fact that he knows how to listen! What an
important lesson for all of us.
