I hereby report that I have exercised my statutory authority to declare a National emergency with respect to the threat to the United States posed by the actions and policies of the Afghan Taliban.

The furnishing of defense articles and services to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

In my judgment, it meets all statutory requirements and will advance the nonproliferation and other foreign policy interests of the United States.

I ask you to remember that the United States did not act alone.

I pledge to you, sir, that the United States will work with you, and we will do this together.

You make possible, by defending our interests and advancing them, the work of the United States at the end of the cold war, at the dawn of a new century and a new millennium.

It doesn't make any sense for the United States to be the only advanced country in the world that doesn't take comprehensive, sensible, thorough steps to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals.

It is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States to suspend for a period of 6 months the limitation set forth in section 3(b) of the Act.

The Treaty will, upon entry into force, enhance cooperation between the law enforcement communities of the United States and Korea.

I transmit herewith the Extradition Treaty Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea.

I hereby determine that it is in the vital national interests of the United States to certify the following major illicit drug producing and/or major illicit drug transit countries: Cambodia, Haiti, Nigeria, and Paraguay.

I urge all the people of the United States to show support for their local Red Cross chapters.

This is a wonderful time to be in the United States.

Welcome to the United States.

Ghana and Africa have made brilliant contributions to the United States.

The United States wanted and very much needed a new partnership with Africa.

It allowed us to reaffirm for all of Africa that the United States is proud and determined to build a partnership of mutual respect with African nations which share our dreams of a better world.

Nothing better symbolizes the sea change in our sense of hemispheric community than the partnership between the United States and Mexico.
