These United States-Belgium agreements are similar in objective to the social security agreements already in force with Italy, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Switzerland.

I am delighted to reappoint these dedicated individuals.

All over the country people are finding new solutions for the problems they see in their communities.

The secret's getting out.

True fairness means honoring our word.

Fairness is not appealing to envy, pitting group against group.

I think some of you should seek out those Congressmen and hear some of the things that they had to say.

I appeal to the Congress to work with us, to refrain from raising taxes.

No, the rich don't need my help, and I'm not doing things to help the rich.

I am pleased to sign into law S. 639, the Lebanon Emergency Assistance Act of 1983.

The funding authorized by this act will greatly assist in promoting the economic and political stability of that country and support the international effort to strengthen a sovereign and independent Lebanon.

No other nation has set aside as many acres of parks, wilderness and wildlife refuge areas, or as many miles of scenic rivers and natural trails, for the enjoyment of present and future generations.

This act authorizes the appropriation of urgently needed economic and military assistance for Lebanon.

I hope that those who read this report will recognize the progress that this country continues to make in its long-standing commitment to a clean and healthy environment for all our people.

As President and as an American citizen, I am deeply concerned that present and future generations be protected from the adverse health effects of toxic chemicals and hazardous wastes.

We can be very proud of our environmental achievements.

I consider it one of the most unforgettable moments of my term in office.

Tell them that we stand behind them.
