It takes more than walls and guns to imprison the human spirit.

I welcome this commitment to peace and democracy by the five Central American Presidents.

The agreement emphasizes reconciliation, democracy, and full respect for political and civil rights.

General headnote 3(e)(v)(A) to the TSUS, listing those countries whose products are eligible for benefits of the GSP, is modified by inserting in alphabetical order in the list of non-independent countries and territories 'Greenland'.

The measure of agreement that's reflected in my letter demonstrates the vital importance that I attach to cooperation between the Congress and the executive branch in the intelligence area.

I'm gratified we meet today in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation and agreement about new procedures that govern the approval and notification to Congress concerning sensitive intelligence activities.

I have determined that imports from Mexico under TSUS item 470.85 during the period from July 1, 1985, through June 30, 1986, inclusive, should have been afforded the preferential tariff treatment provided under the GSP.

Greater cooperation in this critical area will be of substantial benefit to our country.

Total employment rose in July by 472,000.

This breakthrough of the 6 percent mark does not occur in a hyperinflated economy as it did in 1979 but is based instead on sound growth and steady, long-term job creation.

The procedures address legitimate areas of concern to the Congress and the Executive, and they have my full support.

I recommend that the Congress give favorable consideration to this extension at an early date.
