We want to be friends with those who love liberty, people like yourself and your fellow citizens of Uruguay.

Uruguay is a friend and a country that shares with us the heritage, traditions, and values of the Americas.

Your service on the Court, extending over 17 years, has set a high standard for your successors.

I would ask all of you to join me in a toast to a modern-day hero of freedom, President Sanguinetti.

I'm proud and honored to stand here today with Chief Justice Burger, with Justice Rehnquist, and with Judge Scalia, and to discharge my constitutional responsibilities as President of the United States.

Upon confirmation he would be designated Vice Chairperson.

I want to say a word about Chief Justice Burger.

Tonight we mark not only the visit of a friend, but also we celebrate a nation's return to democracy.

Today, for those who live in democracy, the challenge is for us to be as brave as we are enlightened.

All America loved her, and she loved America.

The peaceful process used to reestablish democracy in Uruguay can serve as a model for others.

I am proud to nominate William H. Rehnquist to be Chief Justice of the United States.

I hope the Senate will promptly consider and confirm these gifted interpreters of our laws.

I must express regret that your extraordinary gifts will no longer be employed on our highest Court.

America was indeed God-blessed to have Kate Smith as one of her daughters.

We must continue to press for a negotiated solution.

Kate Smith was a patriot in every sense of the word.

America was the arsenal of democracy.

There are no Republicans and no Democrats—just Americans.

If democracy is to have any chance at all, we must back up those who are fighting for freedom and back them with the weapons and resources they need.

Now is the time to put out the maximum effort, and we'll get the job done.

Those fighting the Communists are not, as they've oftentimes been portrayed, seeking power.

The regime is doing its best to turn Nicaragua into an Eastern European-style Communist dictatorship.

Our hearts are with the people of South Africa in this time of trauma.
