I want to work with you to maintain the information and the intelligence advantage we have and to meet the demands of a new era.

Today our Government is deluged with more and more information from more and more sources.

The Secretary of Defense shall provide disaster assistance only at the direction of the President.

We should be proud of our Nation's compact with older Americans.

I believe making deep cuts in intelligence during peacetime is comparable to canceling your health insurance when you're feeling fine.

The Secretary of Defense is hereby directed to provide disaster assistance outside the United States to respond to manmade or natural disasters.

I will fight to keep these programs strong and to maintain the active role of the national aging network in assisting elderly Americans.

Every morning I start my day with an intelligence report.

Today I am pleased to mark the 30th anniversary of the Older Americans Act.

I want to emphasize that the Commission's agreement that the Secretary enjoys full authority and discretion to transfer work load from these two installations to the private sector is an integral part of the report.

The American people have made it abundantly clear that they want us to fix the welfare system.

I would regard that action as a breach of Public Law 101-510.

The ACDA's first major success was the establishment of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Sound arms control and nonproliferation policy requires an independent, specialized, and technically competent arms control and nonproliferation agency.

I have therefore decided that ACDA will remain independent and continue its central role in U.S. arms control and nonproliferation policy.

Every day without welfare reform drains our economic strength, saps our community spirit, and prevents Americans from being able to live up to their full potential.

We shouldn't punish babies for their parents' mistakes.

We can fix this problem.
