I am pleased to announce the appointment of former Senator John Tower, former Secretary of State Edmund Muskie, and former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft—three distinguished experts in foreign policy and national security…

I hope the Board will conduct its review in a prompt and thorough manner.

I call upon all Americans, in rural areas and in cities alike, to join in recognizing the accomplishments of our productive farmers and of our urban residents cooperating to create abundance, wealth, and strength for the Nation.

I am deeply troubled that the implementation of a policy aimed at resolving a truly tragic situation in the Middle East has resulted in such controversy.

No, and I'm not taking any more questions.

However, the information brought to my attention yesterday convinced me that in one aspect implementation of that policy was seriously flawed.

I believe we can yet achieve—and I intend to pursue—the objectives on which we all agree: a safer, more secure, and stable world.

It is important that all Americans have a greater awareness of and support for the vital role of family caregivers.

A wonderful way to repay the lifetime of care, kindness, and assistance that older people have already given others.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning November 24, 1986, as National Family Caregivers Week.

Of course, we must do more, striving always to give of ourselves to those less fortunate.

Today there are more than 2,200 local United Ways in communities throughout the country.
