Ronald Reagan

We have made it plain that it is a problem that must be settled peacefully between them.

I think the whole charge of fairness is political demagoguery.

We're not warlike, we want peace.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning December 4, 1983 as 'Carrier Alert Week.'

This government is providing 95 million meals a day.

I know that problem intimately, because I worked my own way through college.

I call upon the American people to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

We know that we can't buy peace at any price.

This legislation is an important component of my administration's far-ranging efforts to reform the wasteful and inefficient procurement practices of the Federal Government.

It is also responsible for overseeing the Federal procurement reforms that I initiated through issuance of Executive Order No. 12352 in March 1982.

We're delighted to have you with us today, Mr. President, and we wish you Godspeed on your return home.

I was particularly impressed by the initiative that President Gemayel took in calling for national dialog.

We stand by the May 17th agreement as the best and most viable basis for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon.

This legislation will help to strengthen the fundamental characteristics of wise and economical procurement—including the increased use of full and open competition—in the marketplace.

We admire President Gemayel's personal courage.

Today he and I have discussed his programs for national unity.

America will do what it can to support Lebanon's efforts to restore her tranquility and independence.

The provisions of this Proclamation shall be effective with respect to all articles that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the effective date of this Proclamation and on or before September 30, 1995.

This bill will send $4.6 billion from Washington back to our cities, counties, and towns.

There is cause for confidence that the Commission's best years are yet to come.

I want to make clear that my signing of this bill does not reflect any change in the position of four successive Presidents with respect to China.

I am designating the countries and territories or successor political entities set forth in the Annex as 'beneficiary countries' under section 212 of the CBERA.

Local government meeting local needs-that's a fundamental principle of good government.

The bill I have signed today is, of course, a product of negotiation and compromise.

I believe that it is no coincidence that those years were characterized by open debate and a devotion to the principle of equal treatment under the law.
