The spending freeze is necessary to overcome the deficits.

We have proposed and will continue to urge the Soviets to agree to ban altogether both their intermediate-range land-based nuclear missile weapons and those we intend to deploy in response to their build-up.

The proposed freezes will compel program managers to find more efficient ways of carrying out their programs.

Make no mistake, we have a duty to broadcast.

I urge Mr. Andropov to accept it.

I've always believed that this blessed land was set apart in a special way.

The Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds, refresh our souls.

We cannot rely on hope alone.

The integrity of the social security system will be preserved and no one's payments will be reduced.

I know this is strong medicine, but so far we have cut only the rate of increase in Federal spending.

Facing the future with the Bible—that's a perfect theme for your convention.

We must work together to rebuild this country.

The public expression of our faith in God, through prayer, is fundamental.

His name alone, Jesus, can lift our hearts, soothe our sorrows, heal our wounds, and drive away our fears.

I have asked Vice President Bush... to propose to Soviet General Secretary Andropov that he and I meet wherever and whenever he wants in order to sign an agreement banning U.S. and Soviet intermediate-range land-based nuclear missile…

Let us work together to meet the challenge.

I believe the burden of proof is on those who would make that point.

Quick fixes and artificial stimulants... are what brought on the inflationary disorders.

I urge all civilian employees of the Federal government and members of the Armed Forces to support this voluntary effort.

Thank you, Mr. President.

You've got every reason to be proud of that team.

I just want to say that, on the other hand, it was a great game.

Well, you fellows really earned it, and it was thrilling to watch.

Football bounces funny sometimes and, believe me, I can have some understanding how you feel.

Congratulations to you and that great team of yours.
