"Your Presidency has reminded people around the world that words do matter, that creativity has a place in politics."
"It would eliminate programs that focus on our neediest children and schools, and on activities in which national leadership can play a critical role."
"You have led the Czech Republic to a place of prominence in the new Europe."
"Block grants would replace these worthy programs with general aid for school operations, which is the responsibility of States and communities."
