E. Pendleton James has been president of Pendleton James and Associates, Inc., an executive search firm in New York City.

Quite simply, the Executive branch cannot effectively carry out its responsibilities to implement the laws if agencies are required, as a routine procedure, to justify each grant decision to the Congress.

Each Federal employee occupying the front seat of a motor vehicle on official business, whose seat is equipped with a safety belt, shall have the safety belt properly fastened at all times when the vehicle is in motion.

The judicial branch interprets the laws, while the power to make and execute those laws is balanced in the two elected branches.

I continued the national emergency with respect to South Africa on September 4, 1986.

H.R. 5488 would not only prohibit implementation of a particular regulation, but would also prevent the President and FEMA from making any changes in policies or regulations under the Disaster Assistance Program for a period of 18 months.

To paraphrase Nancy, to say no to drugs is to say yes to life.

I declared a national emergency to deal with the threat posed by the policies and actions of the Government of South Africa.
