Today is about taking responsibility for doing better, working together to build a better America.

Procurement waste is costing the taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, and it has to stop.

We want to give the taxpayer a more efficient Government, to reduce the deficit, to provide new resources so that we can also respond to urgent national needs.

I see no reason to renegotiate the agreement, or any grounds or basis for it.

I want Congress to pass this crime bill and pass the savings I've asked to help pay for it.

We can start seeing savings right away.

The Federal Government is charged with protecting the health and safety, as well as promoting other national interests, of the American people.

The NCUA Board is charged with an important task, safeguarding the futures of the millions of hard-working Americans who put their savings in credit unions.

The current Federal procurement system is inefficient and wasteful.

I think that all the countries involved have a lot at stake in proceeding.

I'll take a few questions, but I intend to have the NAFTA legislation introduced next week.

I am committed to fundamentally altering and improving the way the Federal Government buys goods and services by ensuring that electronic commerce is implemented for appropriate Federal purchases as quickly as possible.

These cuts are part of our commitment to put our economic house in order.

American taxpayers have a right to expect that their Federal dollars are being put to the best possible use.

We think it's very doable.

If we can't save that amount of money, then we've really got problems.

Reinventing Government is working, and I want to say a special word of thanks to the Vice President for his outstanding leadership on this project.

I have the pleasure of transmitting to you the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Federal Labor Relations Authority for Fiscal Year 1992.
