We will not tolerate the use or the supply of illegal drugs anyplace, anytime.

We mean to have a drug-free country, and we mean business.

I invite government officials, educators, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this day and participate in activities to recognize and show appreciation for school volunteers' contributions to education.

We will write no final chapters, we will close no books, until we have a return of all who may be alive in Southeast Asia.

I reluctantly sign S. 485, and I do not intend to sign another extension.

I have determined that the policies of the Sandinista government continue to pose a threat to the national security of the United States.

Yes, in these 211 years, whenever America has called, the Few and the Proud have been there.

America today says thank you, happy birthday, and God bless you.

It is right that we should meditate upon the principles for which so many Americans have fought.

I shall continue to use the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against Nicaragua.

The policies and actions of the Sandinista government continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

I strongly urge the 100th Congress to resolve these problems as soon as possible.

This legislation is designed to assist local governments to conserve the resources of the Blackstone River Valley.

The Marines have always hit the beaches hard.

The Marine Corps spirit has been an inspiration to generations of Americans.

I have today signed S. 1374, which establishes the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

I am signing this bill with the understanding that these 6 members of the Commission, who comprise a minority of its membership and who cannot constitute a quorum, are empowered to act only in an advisory capacity.

Our veterans have come from the grassy plains of Iowa and the streets of Brooklyn.

Our veterans, then, are the heroes among us.

America will not leave its men on the battlefield.

Why can't we expect the United States Congress to do what millions of American families do every month: set a budget, stick to it, and balance their checkbooks?

The most profound, progrowth tax reform this nation has ever seen is now the law of the land.

The balanced budget amendment and the line-item veto are a good place to begin.

The way the budgets are put together is a disgrace, simply unworthy of the Legislature of the greatest democracy in the world.

No private company would be permitted to behave this way.
