I join with them in today's celebration of Ukraine's reborn statehood and in recognition of Ukrainians the world over who have given so much for the cause of freedom and democracy.

I share what I think is the feeling of a majority of our fellow citizens, that the government should be limited in many ways and that government should do those things which it is required to do but no more than it is required to do.

It's a privilege to speak directly to you, the Ukrainian people, and congratulate you on your third Independence Day.

The American people strongly support your country's independence, its sovereignty, its territorial integrity.

Literacy is not a luxury; it is a right and a responsibility.

I'm trying to bring the Federal Government down.

American apples have been totally banned from the Japanese market for the past 23 years.

This legislation is proof that we can end Government activities when they have outlived their usefulness.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?

I appreciate Japan taking this step toward greater liberalization of trade and closer economic relations between our two countries.

Overall, I believe the legislation sends the right signal—that the aviation sector continues to be a prime contributor to this country's economic health.

Exports mean jobs, and that is why we will continue to work to open markets in Japan and elsewhere.

I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 2739, the 'Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994.'

I fully expect that this legislation will have effects similar to those of the 1980 deregulation law.

This year, we will have committed nearly $1.7 billion to new airport development and planning grants.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness.

I am pleased to announce that the Government of Japan has agreed to take the first steps to open its market to American apples.

This is good news for Washington's apple industry and for those workers whose jobs depend on it.

Dr. King taught us that our faith can redeem us, that the sacrifices of individuals can sustain us, that moral courage can guide us.

Nothing could be more appropriate, for it was Dr. King who said everyone can be great because everyone can serve.

The King holiday should be a day on, not a day off.

This isn't a Democratic Crime Bill or a Republican Crime Bill—it's an American Crime Bill, and it will make a difference in every town, every city, and every state in our country.

I look forward to continued cooperation with you in this endeavor.

I took these actions in conjunction with our allies in order to carry out the NATO decision and to answer UNPROFOR's request for assistance.

The American people have waited six years for a comprehensive Crime Bill.
