Today I am proposing legislation that will reduce the redtape and the excess regulations that have strangled and straitjacketed the trucking industry of America for the last 40 years.

I'm determined to bring common sense, equity, and efficiency to the entire regulatory process, so that the strength of our economy can be realized and the public good can be served and protected.

I want to stress in the strongest possible terms that violence and lawlessness will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

The murder of American newsman Bill Stewart in Nicaragua was an act of barbarism that all civilized people condemn.

We will do whatever is necessary to see that those truckers who want to work are not threatened by either violence or intimidation.

I want to commend the Governors who have acted swiftly and effectively to stop violence in their States.

We must further strengthen America's commitment to conservation.

We share a common interest in commerce, scientific development, technological advances, international trade, the reduction of protections—barriers to trade, stable and a sound international monetary system, tourism.

Solar energy can put hundreds of thousands of Americans to work.

We are marshalling the best that the agencies of government can provide.

I think we have made great progress since the Vietnam war.

For American farmers the agreements expand world markets for American farm products.

For American workers, the agreements offer more jobs, higher incomes, and more effective responses to unfair foreign competition.

Approval and implementation by the Congress of the Tokyo Round Agreements will be the first important step toward realizing those opportunities by building a solid foundation for continued strong growth of trade.

The truth of the nuclear age is that the United States and the Soviet Union must live in peace, or we may not live at all.

We realize that no one treaty, no one meeting can guarantee the future safety of our nations.

We must all show compassion, Mr. President, for the tens of thousands of suffering people who have been driven from their homes and their homelands.

We are working for cooperation among nations, for the peaceful settlement of disputes, for economic development with social justice and for human rights around the world.
