I would not take lightly the prospect of a resurgence of inflation.

Fifteen million new jobs have been created during this expansion, with strong gains widespread across industries and demographic groups.

I remain committed to the goal of price level stability.

I ask the Congress to do the same.

I have asked the Office of Domestic Affairs and the Office of Management and Budget to work with the President's Council on Management Improvement.

Like his distinguished predecessor, Justice Kennedy's career has been marked by his devotion to a simple, straightforward, and enduring principle: that we are a government of laws, not of men.

We're trying to find out as much as we can, and we'll try to get him located.

And while meeting these domestic priorities and our national security needs, this budget does not increase taxes.

The absence of these powers under the Articles of the Confederation had led to trade wars among the States, local rebellions, international humiliation, the exhaustion of the Government's finances, and the ruin of the economy.

I am proud to report on the continued success of my Administration's efforts to better manage the Federal Government.

I propose a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget and forces the Federal Government to live within its means.

Our people have every right to expect that their National Government perform its appointed tasks in a timely, efficient, and courteous fashion.

Justice Kennedy has shown a consistence and courageous dedication to preserving ours as a government of laws, and that's why I nominated him.

By pursuing market-oriented economic policies, we have uncorked the genie of American enterprise and created new businesses, more jobs, improved production, and widespread prosperity.

This budget fits within the second year of the bipartisan budget agreement that we reached last November.

The current expansion, now in its sixtythird month, has outlasted all previous peacetime expansions in U.S. history.

I'm not going to talk about anything but the budget.

We cannot permit this to happen, and we will not.
