With respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, I would say that that is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general within the parameters of various laws, and I don't want to prejudge that.

It will make a difference to that one.

We’re doing this because I've always believed that the answer to our challenges cannot come from government alone.

engaging in service is transformational in the lives of those who serve.

service can be a solution to some of the tough problems that are facing our nation.

I am pleased to announce my intent to nominate Maria Eitel to be CEO for the Corporation for National and Community Service.

government cannot be a solution to all of our problems, and we have to work together.

this is a moment when service and civic participation have become a call to action and a necessity for a healthy democracy and a healthy nation.

All that's required on your part is a willingness to make a difference.

Maria brings a unique blend of skills and management experience that will help her successfully lead the Corporation during our Administration's bold expansion of national service programs.

service is part of the American ethic.

The fact that we are willing to acknowledge them and then move forward, that is precisely why I am proud to be President of the United States.

We've got more to do.

None of these things alone are going to make a difference.

I have every confidence that the team that I've put together is going to be able to deliver on that efficiency and productivity.

And so what we're going to do is line by line, page by page, $100 million there, $100 million here, pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real money.

Thank you for all the work that you do to protect the American people and the freedom that we all cherish.

The key to good intelligence is not simply technology; it's the quality of the men and women who have signed up to serve.
