"Federalism is rooted in the knowledge that our political liberties are best assured by limiting the size and scope of the national government."

"The United States accepts the Iranian revolution as a fact and respects the right of the Iranian people to choose any government that they wish."

"The people of the States created the national government when they delegated to it those enumerated governmental powers relating to matters beyond the competence of the individual States."

"The measures I am initiating are a direct result of the Iranian Government's own actions, including its unprovoked attacks on U.S. forces and U.S. merchant vessels."
