Ronald Reagan

I believe that enactment of this bill would set an undesirable and potentially costly precedent.

This Administration has a record of strong commitment to the support and conduct of biomedical research by the NIH.

It seems to me much more practical if you could find something that kills weapons instead of kills people.

I am withholding my approval of H.R. 5760, a bill 'To declare that the United States holds certain lands in trust for the Cocopah Indian Tribe of Arizona, and for other purposes.'

My administration has consistently placed a high priority on safety in all forms of transportation.

I cannot, however, approve legislation that would result in significant Federal expenditures with little or no assurance that there are any benefits to be gained.

This legislation will enable us to enforce steel export restraints, guard against unfair import surges into the American market, and help keep the United States from becoming the world's steel dump.

I want to continue with what we called a new beginning back when we started this last 4 years—the economic recovery that we've had.

You in our savings and loan industry, who do so much to help American families buy homes and cars, serve as pillars of your communities, and you certainly can all be very proud.

I will tell you one.

I am withholding my approval from H.R. 999, the 'American Conservation Corps Act of 1984.'

Far too many lives are needlessly sacrificed annually on our nation's highways.

I am withholding my approval of S. 540, the 'Health Research Extension Act of 1984.'

Let's remember the lesson that President Dewey taught us.

In 1980 the American people voted for a change, and when we took office, we made restoring our economy number one.

Experts warned it would take 10 years to bring inflation down to the level of the 1960's. Well, we did it in just 2 years.

Contrary to this long-standing national policy, H.R. 452 would establish an undesirable precedent and grant preferential treatment to the Hartmanns.

We stand today on the threshold of a great adventure.

I believe that next Tuesday we'll see a large number of voters joining our Republican ranks for the first time.

The decisions on how to allocate investments for research on manufacturing technologies are best left to American industry.

Today we're part of a coalition of people who share some values that are traditional to America.

Today we've cut inflation by nearly two-thirds, all the way from 12.4 to 4.2 percent.

This Trade and Tariff Act of 1984 signals to the world that America does not fear free trade.

I believe this bill will give Secretary Dole and the Department of Transportation the tools needed to continue to improve safety on our nation's highways.

America is in the midst of the best economic expansion in over 30 years.
