I am proud to nominate Kenneth L. Adelman to be Director of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.
Ronald Reagan
The Public Record
Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of governor of California from 1967 to 1975. Reagan's presidency is noted for significant tax cuts, a strong anti-communist foreign policy, and the deregulation of various industries. His administration also faced challenges such as the Iran-Contra affair and economic issues, including inflation and unemployment.
Your efforts to implement the arms control objectives of this Administration have been appreciated.
I cannot approve H.R. 7336 because the bill makes substantive changes to the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act that are unacceptable.
The provision of Federal education assistance to Indian students is not characterized in law or treaty as a trust responsibility.
I am particularly pleased that Secretary Shultz shares my high confidence in the distinguished persons joining my administration's arms control team today.
It has been my privilege to seek your advice on many issues, including those not directly within your area of responsibility.
We are the first administration to acknowledge those problems and to tackle them head-on.
And now I'm happy to announce an outstanding replacement, former Congresswoman Margaret Heckler, my choice as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services.
My disapproval of H.R. 7336 in no way reflects upon the efforts of the author of this bill, Representative William Goodling.
