Ronald Reagan

I hope that welcome was for Christopher Columbus.

H.R. 5410 would make capital more costly in the United States, cutting into economic growth and new jobs.

You'll do it till you get it right.

No other nation in the world has done more to preserve and improve its natural environment.

It would also include consumer rights of action in the Lanham Act with far-reaching implications.

I do hereby proclaim October 2, 1988, as a National Day of Recognition for Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Why they would want to deny America a defense against nuclear missiles, a defense that the Soviets have been candid enough to say they're building for themselves—why the liberals would want to do that, I don't know.

With America exporting more than ever, protectionism means destroying American jobs, and I won't allow it.

These victories didn't come easily, but each will help shape our nation in the years ahead.

It's time the liberals realized that the fight against drugs is not 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' but a serious and dangerous business.

I've often said that genuine welfare reform must be geared to making people independent of welfare; and that means, among other things, that those who receive welfare must be required to work.

Our campaign for a drug-free America is simply too important for Congress not to act before adjournment.

Nevertheless, simply getting timely congressional action is a great achievement.

I urge the Senate to return to this issue and to give our law enforcement agencies the support they need.

I feel compelled to add that these bills are by no means perfect.

Public money should not be used for abortions; many liberals said it should be.

Congress is going to have to stay and work so that all remaining bills will be complete and in a form I can sign.

When they talk about a strong defense, I don't buy it.

Excellence—that's our goal, and we're going to get it!

I'll have to look at the bill.

H.R. 3718 is also objectionable because it would permit the lowering of interest rates on the debentures of certain SBA-supported companies.

I think George Bush had it right at the convention: If you have to change horses in midstream, doesn't it make sense to switch to the one who's going the same direction you are?

The liberals are selling the middle class short.

Yes, the family is the bedrock of our nation, but it is also the engine that gives our country life.

We look to the future and see a nation healthy, a nation strong, a nation at peace.
