I pledge that the executive agencies will continue their cooperation with the intelligence oversight committees of Congress.

I applaud the passage of S. 9, which is an important part of our energy program.

I have today signed House Joint Resolution 1014, designating April 28 and 29, 1979, as 'Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust.'

This act symbolizes the recent achievements of the Congress that broaden and intensify oversight of intelligence activities through a cooperative effort with the executive agencies.

This reflects our Nation's wholehearted conviction that the lessons of the Holocaust must never be forgotten.

I would like to express particular commendation to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House, the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, and the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.

I favor the establishment of a formula which would consider the various factors involved in the Federal presence to determine the appropriate amount of the payment each year.

Today I have signed H.R. 13468, which makes appropriations for the government of the District of Columbia.

I intend to treat both of these provisions as 'report and wait' requirements.

The systematic extermination of millions of human beings by the Nazis during World War II was the most terrible crime in all recorded history.

I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 12240, the Intelligence and Intelligence-Related Activities Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1979.

To achieve a relationship of peace, future negotiations between Israel and any neighbor prepared to negotiate peace and security with it are necessary.

We must work towards a future where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

The search for peace in the Middle East must be guided by the following:—The agreed basis for a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Israel and its neighbors is United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, in all its parts.

All necessary measures will be taken and provisions made to assure the security of Israel and its neighbors during the transitional period and beyond.

The Palestinians will have the right to participate in the determination of their own future.

When we first arrived at Camp David, the first thing upon which we agreed was to ask the people of the world to pray that our negotiations would be successful.

Together with accompanying letters, which we will make public tomorrow, these two Camp David agreements provide the basis for progress and peace throughout the Middle East.
