Establishing an Emergency Board To Investigate a Dispute Between the Consolidated Rail Corporation and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

I urge you, as leaders of the private sector, to join us in our campaign to forge a working partnership for recovery.

America must never abandon them.

The board shall report its findings to the President with respect to the dispute within 30 days of its creation.

If we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of the Union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.

Far from trying to destroy what is best in our system of humane, free government, we're doing everything we can to save it by slowing down the destructive rate of growing in taxes and spending.

Your record in rebalancing our federal system is unmatched by that of any other President in our nation's history.

Our zero-zero intermediate-range nuclear forces proposal is a serious one that would represent a real breakthrough in arms control.

In Japan, building upon my recent meetings in Washington with Prime Minister Nakasone, the Secretary reaffirmed the strength of the U.S.-Japan alliance structure.

I, personally, am prepared to meet Mr. Andropov anywhere, anytime, to sign an agreement to eliminate all land-based intermediate-range nuclear missile weapons from the face of the Earth.

Our initiative—which would eliminate an entire category of missiles—is a fair and a moral position.

I am deeply encouraged by the report that the Vice President has given me.

I have relied on your dedication, counsel and personal integrity as we have worked together.

The time will be agreed on through diplomatic channels.

In 1981, we were able to consolidate 57 narrow, categorical grants into nine block grants, freeing State and local officials from burdensome red tape and allowing them to make more decisions.

It is most sweeping federalism reform any Administration has ever sent to Congress and will go a long way toward restoring the proper balance of power.

It contrasts dramatically with the Soviet proposal which would merely preserve an existing Soviet advantage that is dangerous to the West.

Although you are leaving, I know you will maintain an interest in our federalism effort, and I promise you we will keep up the fight.
