I am pleased and gratified by today's action on Alaska lands by the House of Representatives.

This is an important issue to our country.

I will nominate Bob Clement to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority.

This is a rare occasion in my life, and indeed it's a rare occasion in the life of the White House, to have a carefully prepared, designated White House Conference.

I witnessed personally the deep distress of the people of that State because of the long gasoline lines and because of an obvious shortage in fuel necessary to get them to and from their jobs.

The primary thrust has got to be to improve production of oil in our own Nation and to have a heavy emphasis on conservation.

I have supported, and will continue to support, legislation to create, standardize, and adequately finance public participation funding programs government-wide.

I deeply hope that the Congress as a whole will take the opportunity to act in the interest of the entire Nation.

Congratulations to you.

This new flexibility will enable communities to provide services to their most underserved populations.

The breaking of the pattern of gross violations of human rights heralds a brighter day for Ugandans and, indeed, for all in the world concerned with human rights.

All Americans were appalled by evidence of the truly deplorable human rights violations which occurred during the Amin regime.

Conservation is obviously the best approach.

Our proposals are fair, equitable, simple, and workable.

The proposed Act charts a new course for mental health care which promises comprehensiveness, flexibility and innovation.

I am deeply committed to reducing the tragic toll which mental illness exacts from our citizens and our country.

We faced an energy crisis with 'the moral equivalent of war.'

I believe that these provisions of the Act will encourage the development of a comprehensive, integrated system of care designed to best serve the needs of chronically mentally ill adults and children.
