I will urge Congress to reject proposals leading to an investment of over $2.2 billion of tax dollars in the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project.

This timetable will be enforced.

I welcome this positive step.

The biggest obstacle that we've detected, of course, is whether or not the Palestinians would participate in the discussions.

I am signing H.R. 7553, the public works appropriations bill.

This bill is a precedent-setting first step in trimming spending on unnecessary, expensive, and environmentally damaging construction projects.

That they may adopt U.N. Resolution 242, which does recognize Israel's right to exist permanently and in peace with secure borders.

Those industries which delay installing abatement equipment will no longer be rewarded in the marketplace.

We are not going to meet with the Palestinian leaders as long as they are committed to the destruction of Israel.

I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 6161, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.

The issues involved in amending the Clean Air Act have been difficult and the debate lengthy.

Every time you simplify a system and remove the complexities you eliminate one chance of fraud.

I am today asking Congress to totally scrap our existing welfare system and to replace it with a Program for Better Jobs and Income.

The welfare system is worse than I expected.

This program is intended to give them the opportunity for self-support by providing jobs for those who need them.

There's a great deal of stigma attached to the word 'welfare.'

It's unfair to the poor and wasteful to taxpayers' dollars.

Every family with a full-time worker will have an income substantially above the poverty line.
