William Lee Hanley, Jr., is a highly qualified candidate for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Let's sit down and talk about the two budgets.

That's part of common sense, and a lot of people seem to check theirs at the District line.

Swift passage of safety and soundness legislation is essential to maintain depositor confidence.

Our education was just that much easier than what they were subjected to in their countries.

Now, thanks to them and their hard work and vision, and to the vision and perseverance of the American people and of our allies, all humanity can begin to look forward to a new era of security when the burden of nuclear terror is lifted…

SDI truly serves the purposes of offensive weapons reduction.

I have repeatedly pledged that SDI capabilities will never be used for offensive purposes.

The administration opposes enactment of H.R. 1157.

The other provisions of H.R. 1157, which would further expand the $400 million disaster relief program contained in the Continuing Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1987, are seriously objectionable.

We will still be spending some of that $900 million in the coming years, but it won't show in the '88 budget.

This bill would enable the public, the Congress, and the administration to evaluate accurately the costs and benefits of direct loans and loan guarantees.

We met our deadline and submitted to Congress a fiscal year 1988 budget that meets the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction goal without raising taxes.

It's time to put politics aside and do what the Congress knows has to be done sooner or later anyway: give the American people a budget process that controls spending.

The budget process is, indeed, a sorry spectacle: deadlines delayed or missed completely.

There's a movement afoot in Congress, led by Senator Pete Domenici and other responsible legislators, to introduce some badly needed order into the budget process.

There can be no compromise on the goal of Afghan independence.

Thank you all for being here and thank all of you.

I am adamantly opposed to the excessive spending that is in the bill as it emerged from the conference committee.

I urge the American people to participate in appropriate observances to reflect our support of the Afghan struggle for freedom.

The American people clearly expect their elected leaders to vote the same way they talk.

I have to go back to work now.

My vote will be to veto bills that spend unnecessary billions on projects the American people cannot afford.

Nancy Clark Reynolds is an outstanding nominee for the National Museum Services Board.

We will continue our joint efforts in support of the freedom fighters efforts to win back your country's freedom.
