Dale A. Petroskey will become Assistant Press Secretary in the Office of the Press Secretary.

It is critically important that the United States and its European partners stand united on the basis of our common efforts to protect our mutual security.

We are prepared to negotiate constructively with the Soviet Union with the goal of radically reducing nuclear arms and, ultimately, eliminating nuclear weapons entirely.

Our decision is irreversible, our dedication total.

This matter is of vital concern to us both.

There is no more important test of a society than how it treats its children.

We should resolve to strengthen the fundamental values of family and community on which our Nation was founded.

Well done. You not only represent sportsmen of great talent, you represent the spirit of overcoming great odds that Americans love so much.

I think that this was a great forward step for Brazil.

We could improve if we can show them that it would be to their material advantage as well as someone else's.

We face the risk that a hundred million people, from Panama to our open southern border, could come under the control of pro-Soviet regimes and threaten the United States with violence, economic chaos, and a human tidal wave of refugees.

Mr. Curran has been serving as Deputy Director of the Peace Corps since 1982.

I will use these funds only for humanitarian assistance while the democratic opposition's March 1 call for dialogue remains in effect.

I do hereby proclaim the month of April 1985 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

I know the problem, of course, that brings us together—missing and exploited children.

So, I'm asking you today to form a new partnership for child safety.

And I'll let you keep track of the calendar.

What I always do—sell.

And you have my heartfelt thanks for what you're doing and what you continue to do.

It's a major issue, I believe, in America today and a problem that can threaten every American family, rich or poor.

We're also honored to have with us today the mayor of Berlin, Eberhard Diepgen.

And, of course, this assistance serves the interests of both our countries.

As your President, John, I salute you today not only for myself and all the Presidents you've served so well but for all your countrymen and the millions of people around the world whose lives you helped make safer.

You have brought a difficult international debt problem under control and opened your country to expanded trade and foreign investment.

Thanks to your leadership and the forward-looking policies you're pursuing, we're now getting to know your country better as a trading partner.
