Ronald Reagan

Budget reform is an idea whose time has come.

I am construing the functions of this Commission to be solely advisory.

I am pleased to approve H.R. 4302.

The Commission will encourage, plan, and coordinate observances of the centennial of President Eisenhower's birth.

Wherever Americans are, there are the arts.

I encourage the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.

It is most fitting that we take time to celebrate the arts of our Nation, to honor our artists, and to express our appreciation to everyone who patronizes the arts.

I hereby proclaim the month of November 1986 as National Hospice Month.

Because it has to happen again and again and again until we have them all back.

And as we celebrate the arts, we celebrate and give thanks for our freedom, the only atmosphere in which artists can truly create and in which art is truly the expression of the soul.

We welcome the willingness of these Americans to serve on the U.S. delegation.

I urge all Americans to take note of this commemoration and join in the celebration of the birth of this great statesman.

The arts are central to human expression.

Let us join together during National Arts Week to celebrate the arts of our Nation and in pledging to continue this magnificent partnership of artist and patron.

I am writing to inform you of my intent to add the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia to the list of beneficiary developing countries under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Program.

There’s no way that we can answer questions having anything to do with this without endangering the people we're trying to rescue.

A typically American consortium—informal and effective—of individuals, corporations, foundations, and taxpayers provides financial support to artists.

The arts enlighten us and please us.

Our objective is only to establish a reasonable, fair, orderly, and secure system of immigration into this country and not to discriminate in any way against particular nations or people.

Future generations of Americans will be thankful for our efforts to humanely regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people: American citizenship.

This bill, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, that I will sign in a few minutes is the most comprehensive reform of our immigration laws since 1952.

I am withholding my approval of S. 1128, the 'Water Quality Act of 1986.'

The good-hearted actions of individuals promote the public good.

Charitable giving has increased 80 percent to last year's record high of nearly $80 billion.

Public-spiritedness has built America.
