But Speakes said the president changed his mind after a long talk with his wife and older daughter, Maureen, at the White House Thursday night.

"It was the first time that the Reagans as a family had had an opportunity to talk about it, and they spent most of the evening talking about it." Speakes said. Speakes said he did not know whether the president, an avid viewer of television news shows, had seen a number of network broadcasts Thursday night that interposed reports about "Hands Across America" with Reagan's remarks about the hungry.

"Where there is hunger, you have to determine that that is probably because of a lack of knowledge on the part of the people as to what is available Reagan added that government programs and private charities had largely addressed the needs of the nation's hungry. But experts and congressional critics quickly challenged his assessment, pointing to administration cuts in food stamps and other welfare programs as key contributors to a continuing hunger problem in America.

White House spokesman Larry Speakes said Friday that Reagan and his wife, Nancy, decided to join millions of other Americans planning to hold hands across most of the country. The decision was made after a long family conversation Thursday night, Speakes said. "This house belongs to all the people and is a symbol of the American dream," Reagan told his aides, according to Speakes. "The White House and the first family should be a part of Hands Across America. This is a uniquely American way to help our fellow man.

The Reagan family will do its part." Speakes denied that Reagan decided to join the Man Disarmed During Incident on Jet CHICAGO A man demanding to be flown to Europe held a knife to a passenger on a Swissair jet awaiting departure at O'Hare International Airport on Friday, authorities said.
