This Plan has been prepared by the Department of the Interior to address a number of current recreation issues.

I determine it to be in furtherance of the purposes of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and in the national security interest of the United States that the functions authorized by chapter 7 of Part II of that Act, relating…

I will appoint Jerome J. Shestack, of Philadelphia, Pa., to be U.S. Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

All the functions vested in the President by Section 121(a) of the Budget and Accounting Procedures Act of 1950, as amended (31 U.S.C. 68a), are delegated to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

That's the patriotism of Tip O'Neill, and that is the root of the strength of America.

Americans have never found a challenge we could not meet if we were united.

Tip has never been afraid to stand up and to speak up for what he believes and to work for what he knows is right.

The continued detention of the hostages is a gross violation of the basic rules of international law and human rights.

He's often said that work and wages are what the Democratic Party is all about.

I am not going to any fundraising events for the time being.

I agree fully with the letter and the spirit and the intent of the Kemeny commission's recommendations.

Every hostage and every person who loves those hostages, not just the families but 220 million American people, thank you for the superb work that you have done in ensuring, so far, the safety.

I am not going to take any military action that would cause bloodshed or arouse the unstable captors of our hostages to attack them or to punish them.

Such actions are not consistent with the beliefs of the vast majority of Puerto Ricans, whatever their political views.

Safety, as it always has been and will remain, is my top priority.

it is hereby ordered that Section 2(b)(1) of that Plan, establishing the Office of Deputy Secretary of Commerce, is effective immediately.

Our purpose is to get the hostages home and get them safe.

This was a despicable act of murder.
