The pace of reform in South Africa has not fulfilled the expectations of the world community nor the people of South Africa.

I think the negotiations that lead toward the steps necessary to bring about political participation by all the citizens of South Africa...

We believe it's wrong.

Our aim cannot be to punish South Africa with economic sanctions that would injure the very people we're trying to help.

I intend to appoint John H. Mackey to be a member of the National Council on Vocational Education.

Our objective will always be to make world trading partnerships freer and fairer for all.

I'm committed to and will continue to fight for fair trade.

There are no winners in a trade war, only losers.

Protectionism costs consumers billions of dollars, damages the overall economy, and destroys jobs.

It's time for Americans to take their money out of tax shelters and invest that money in America's future.

I may have been careless in my language in that one thing, but I was talking about improvements that actually do exist there and have been made.

The 21st century is going to be in good hands.

We can keep driving our unemployment rate down; we can keep opening up opportunities for our future if all of us unite in working for an America where government doesn't grow, prosperity does.

I think it's the only thing that's shown any signs of improvement in that whole situation as yet.

From them grandchildren learn of times long before their own and of the values that can sustain one through the changes and challenges of a long, full life.

But there has been a great improvement over what has ever existed before.

I'm going to be out on the stump all fall bringing our case for tax fairness and economic growth to the American people.

I was delighted to learn the exciting news this morning that our unemployment rate has dropped to 6.9 percent.

You've been hearing me talk about tax reform.

Our 25-percent across-the-board tax reduction gave new life and substance to the American spirit of optimism.

Like the American people, we Republicans believe that America is still young, still vital, still strong.

And I believe that's not only in the amount of numbers but also in the percentage of the overall labor pool.

In recognition of the important role of grandparents in our families and communities, Congress has proclaimed the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day.

Many grandparents bring their special wisdom and love to the broader community in the many volunteer efforts of which we Americans are rightly proud.

We're working just as hard as we can in every channel that we can about that.
