President Reagan walked off the elevator onto the first floor. The time was 8:34 am. He met two of his aides David Fischer and Jose Muratti. Fischer had documents that the President would need. Muratti carried the satchel that contained the country's nuclear war plans. President Reagan carried an authentication card in a jacket pocket. 

The three men walked down the hall to the Blue Room. Reagan shook hands with more than 60 people in eleven minutes. Then people were led into the East Room. There Reagan gave his fervent supporters in that room a pep talk about carrying out the President's agenda. The minor speech to a small circle of advisors only lasted 3 minutes and 15 seconds. 

After the speech, Reagan flanked by two secret service agents walked into the Oval Office. Senior Agent Parr informed the President that Agent Johnny Guy was coming with the President that afternoon when he makes his speech at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
