This signing ceremony for the infant formula bill is particularly gratifying to me as President for several reasons.

Open government is vital to democracy.

Today I announce the appointment of Marjorie Fry Davis as a member of the Committee for the Preservation of the White House.

Any time a President or any other leader gets together with the Congressional Black Caucus, it's a special occasion.

I know how important rural America is to our country.

We'll make even more progress in the future.

It's indeed a pleasure and a pride for me to come here to this beautiful facility.

We have made great progress in a brief period of time.

I pray to God that I'll go out of office, hopefully at the end of 5 more years, still with our Nation at peace.

It's a difficult job; it's a challenging job.

I think that's an exaggeration.

I've had, with your help, 3 1/2 years of experience.

This is a year of crucial decision for our country.

I do not intend to lose California.

It's a good job, because it's the best elected office in the world.

We have had an increase every year since I've been in office in national defense capability.

I intend to keep it for 5 more years.
