Today, let us raise our flags high to honor the service members who keep us safe.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, 5 U.S.C. 3345,et seq., it is hereby ordered that:

My Administration is dedicated to seeking the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.

I ran for President to keep the American Dream alive in our time.

Jobs are critically important, not just as a political tool.

It remains increasingly important that we ensure the safety, security, and effectiveness of our nuclear weapons stockpile.

Today, we are heading in the right direction.

The expertise and commitment these men and women bring to their roles will make them tremendous assets to my administration, and I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.

I encourage all Americans to observe this occasion with programs and activities to support their local EMS workers and to improve their own safety and preparedness skills.

It's not a real recovery until people can feel it in their own lives.

I'm not interested in another old debate about big government versus small government.

The Treaty will enhance the national security of the United States.

Helping businesses create jobs should be something that both parties can agree on.

Government can't create jobs, but it can create the conditions for small businesses to grow and thrive.

I am firmly committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear arsenal to deter adversaries and reassure U.S. allies and other security partners.

I urge the Senate to give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty, including its Protocol, and to give its advice and consent to ratification.

I didn't run for President to preside over decline.

This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by any party against the United States.
