Today I announced three persons whom I will nominate to be members of the National Commission on Social Security.

THE FOLLOWING LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE PROMOTIONS OF MEMBERS OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES.

I am today signing into law H.R. 12222, the International Development and Food Assistance Act of 1978.

I would be forced to enlarge the Federal bureaucracy substantially and unnecessarily.

I urge each Member of Congress to support my veto and to work with me immediately to develop a responsible bill that can be passed this year.

This bill would hamper the Nation's ability to control inflation, eliminate waste and make the government more efficient.

I have signed an Executive order creating a Presidential Commission on World Hunger.

I have a deep commitment to controlling unnecessary spending and also controlling inflation.

This administration will intensify its efforts to meet the world hunger problem.

Working together, I hope the Congress and the administration will be able to agree on legislation that protects our citizens from the devastation of drought and floods.

No challenge the Congress and the Executive Branch must face together is more painful than the exercise of budgetary discipline.

I respect the hard work and good intentions of the Members of Congress who have prepared this legislation.

I am returning H.R. 12928, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill, to the Congress without my approval.

Success is measured not by our achievements but by our ability to positively impact others.

We took a long step in the battle against inflation this afternoon.

Their numbers will grow unless we find means to raise world food production and improve food distribution.

I urge you to help me control inflation and to set an example of leadership for the nation by supporting my veto of the public works bill.

The hard work and dedication that went into the original legislation will not be wasted.
