I'm proud to be back here at Pearl and proud to be back as your Commander in Chief.

Not an hour passes that they are not on my mind.

No, I want everybody to be right with me on everything I do.

We need her. She is outstanding.

I accept this resignation with real, deep regret.

We believe that President de Klerk deserves credit for his political courage and leadership.

This redesignation would be misleading; the Deputy Director is alter eao to the Director on management as well as budget.

Today, with those young men and women in mind, let me just add one final note.

It makes a difference if you have a leader that you can pick up the phone and talk to and get advice from.

There is enormous support in our country for what Chairman Gorbachev is doing inside the Soviet Union.

That's what I've authorized.

I believe that China, as its leaders state, will return to the policy of reform pursued before June 3.

I will extend the offered hand with confidence, conviction, and real hope.

I am glad for the opportunity to sign this historic measure and grateful to those whose vision and determination have created this occasion.

I don't want to sound self-centered here, but almost every one of those leaders told me: We think the United States is handling this properly.

And this is a good chance to say thank you, sir.

Lynn is that woman to make the Nation proud.

Lynn is already out front, and I know that she'll help me do that.
