Ronald Reagan

The answer is clear: Get on and stay on the road of declining deficits.

The good news is that our economy is strong and getting stronger.

I believe that the United States should become a party to this Agreement.

I announce my intention to appoint Armand Hammer to be a member of the President's Cancer Panel.

Justice Powell has won a reputation for intellectual balance and fair-mindedness.

Dr. Burns was among the most brilliant economists of his generation.

I have been advised today that, after 16 years on the Supreme Court bench, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., has announced his retirement.

The administration has no objection to House passage of H.R. 2689 but will seek to have the conferees make authorization levels consistent with those requested by the administration.

He is known for his courtliness and courtesy and is truly a Justice's Justice.

I believe that the Court should enter the next term at full strength.

The administration's proposed $1 billion job training program for dislocated workers will serve a large number of veterans.

The bill would freeze the annual rental paid by the Payson Unified School District for its use of 60 acres of National Forest System land at $12,500, far below the $21,000 that is the current fair market value for the use of this property.

This site is of local significance only, and does not warrant the assistance authorized by section 2 of H.R. 1994.

The administration opposes enactment of H.R. 1173 as unnecessary because existing law already adequately protects units of the National Park System.

That is, of course, the ultimate goal of technology and science: a quest for bettering the human condition.

The administration has no objection to enactment of H.R. 1100.

The most vital factor in maintaining man's environment and ensuring that the needs of the Earth's population are taken care of is human freedom.

Our country's greatest asset is not our vast expanse of land and not our abundant resources or our temperate climate.

The program has had mixed results, including a lower success rate than other job training programs.

The special treatment offered by H.R. 1366 would be unfair to other communities that have purchased Federal lands in compliance with Federal law.

The program was enacted in 1983, because the unemployment rate for Vietnam veterans (9.1 percent) exceeded for the first time the rate for the comparable group of non-veterans.

I do hereby proclaim June 25, 1987, as National Catfish Day.

The President ought to have a line-item veto.

I do hereby proclaim June 19, 1987, as American Gospel Arts Day.
