The first duty of any civilized society is to protect its honest citizens from those who prey on their innocent fellow citizens.

We place great importance on these exchanges.

It should not be viewed as a luxury added on at extra cost but as a process for increasing the efficiency and quality of our lives.

Our ability to compete effectively in international markets depends largely on an often overlooked, but integral element—design quality.

Good design unites art with purpose.

I do hereby proclaim October 28, 1987, as National Immigrants Day.

This is an important element of the long-needed modernization of the United States chemical weapon deterrent.

Until we achieve that goal, however, it is essential that we maintain a safe, modern chemical weapon stockpile to deter use of chemical weapons by potential adversaries.

It is scandalous and intolerable that Federal law now provides no enforceable death penalty for terrorists who slaughter defenseless American hostages.

It is my hope that the Awards competition and public recognition of our federal 'best' will encourage greater federal leadership in, and attention to, good design.

We seek a global, effectively verifiable ban on chemical weapons.

This is bad credit policy.
