Nancy and I extend our deep sympathy to his family and to the Ohio State University community.

The Government of Jamaica is sufficiently responsive to the United States Government concerns on drug control.

Ken is an outstanding manager, who has worked with the Congress to achieve some of the most important victories of my administration.

I promised to send to the Congress legislation 'whereby the true cost to the economy of Federal credit programs would be counted in the budget.'

In order for arms control to have meaning and credibly contribute to national security and to global or regional stability, it is essential that all parties to agreements fully comply with them.

The resolution would reward the Sandinistas' inflexibility and send the message that they need only wait for the United States to lose its resolve.

The United States cannot, and will not, allow a double standard of compliance with arms control agreements to be established.

If the resolution is passed by Congress, the President's senior advisers will recommend that the President veto it.

Cheating is simply not acceptable.

I am proud to nominate Evan J. Kemp, Jr.

Strict compliance with all provisions of arms control agreements is fundamental, and this Administration will not accept anything less.

The resolution's moratorium on aid to the Nicaraguan democratic resistance would deprive the United States of one of the most critical elements of leverage it has with the Sandinistas.

Compliance is a cornerstone of international law; states are to observe and comply with obligations they have freely undertaken.

I appreciate your coming aboard March 1 to help me pull things together.

Nancy joins me in wishing you and Dorothy Godspeed and, most importantly, good health for you both.

I shall always treasure this memory.

I know I can count on you in the future.

I admired the enthusiasm with which you plunged into the job, and your loyalty to me.
