I am hopeful that, at the earliest possible date, appropriate legislative action will be taken to amend existing substantive law so as to specify the intention of Congress regarding the Federal Trade Commission's authority under the…

I do not believe we can justify locking-in public broadcasting funding levels for 1987-1989 that are so obviously excessive.

Under S. 2436, however, Federal funding for public broadcasting would be increased by too much too fast.

In disapproving this bill, therefore, I urge the Congress to consider a revised bill providing more reasonable and moderate increases for the Board for Public Broadcasting along the lines of the Oxley amendment.

While it is the usual practice to transmit to the Congress only signed agreements, it is my intention in this case that this transmittal initiate the period for Congressional review.

The most important issue—and it's very obvious that it has taken place here—is this drive for excellence.

I just have to believe that, together, we can make America a place where women are free to pursue careers, raise families, or both.

That's why it's our policy to benefit all Americans, and to do so not by raising taxes, or multiplying regulations, or fattening the Federal bureaucracy, but by promoting economic growth.

To continue the peace we enjoy, we must show clear support for our allies and exhibit strength and steadiness to those who wish us ill.

I'm pleased to sign the bill.

Holding this office has allowed me to see as never before how richly our nation has been blessed.

The United States of America is prepared for peace.

Our special interest group is the American people.

We have made a new beginning, a dramatic, far-reaching step toward a much better, safer, and more secure future.

And because we're stronger than before, we can be confident that we're in a position to secure a future of peace.

We did it to help all of the people.

Only by electing a Republican House and Senate can we get the Democratic Party to return to the mainstream of American politics.

The legislation also eases break-in-service rules so that parents who bear children and stay home to care for them will no longer lose the pension credits they previously earned.

We came together in a national crusade to make America great again, and to make a new beginning.

We celebrate Independence Day.

This important legislation is the first private pension bill in our history to recognize explicitly the importance of women.

Without you, without the people, none of the gains that we've made could ever have been accomplished.

We've ignited, for the first time in decades, high growth, decline in unemployment, and inflation going down all at the same time.

We believe in free trade, but we believe in fair trade, and we're going to keep on.

It is right that we pay tribute to those who sacrificed all for independence and freedom.
