I am signing into law S. 3085, the Child Nutrition Amendments of 1978.

My administration will make every effort to implement these amendments properly and to work with the Congress to secure continued authorization for the Endangered Species Act in the future.

Today I am signing S. 2796, a bill which provides continuing authorization for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

I am concerned that the shipment-by-shipment notification required by this bill will impose unnecessary burdens on American exporters.

There is, therefore, no reason for the government to provide special support to increase the total supply of professional nurses.

I have therefore directed Secretary Andrus to consider implementation of the portions of the bill relating to restoration and maintenance of the Missions only if they pass into secular ownership and use.

The promise of solar energy has been too long neglected as a major source of supply.

This legislation will enable us to save by 1985 about 2 1/2 million barrels of oil per day.

The strength of our nation is found in the unity and resilience of its people.

I think my religious beliefs are well known.

The greatness of our Nation has been proven, and the future greatness of our Nation is more assured than before this legislation was passed.

This is a day of great progress for our Nation and of great personal satisfaction to me as President.

I do not have any intention of doing this.

This is one of the most important pieces of legislation to have passed the Congress of the United States, I would say, in a century.

I think it's a vindication of our system of democratic government.

Today we can rightfully claim that we have a conscious national policy for dealing with the energy problems of the present and also to help us deal with them in the future.

I believe that we all know that conservation is the easiest and the cheapest way to either create or to save an additional barrel of oil or a thousand cubic feet of gas or a Btu of energy.

I am withholding my approval of S. 1503.
