Ronald Reagan

I regret to tell you that his trip proved fruitless.

I know he would vote the right way.

I do not dismiss the dangers of big deficits, nuclear conflict, or international terrorism.

Government exists to ensure that liberty does not become license to prey on each other.

There's so much more to America than government on the one hand and individuals with nowhere to turn for help but to government on the other.

Yes, one of disappointment.

I am reluctant to support this practice in the future.

More than anything else, it was those record interest rates and double-digit inflation that led inevitably to this recession.

Here in the heartland of America lives the hope of the world.

Balancing the budget is a little like protecting your virtue: You just have to learn to say 'no.'

Wilderness legislation should designate only those areas which are truly pristine.

I happen to believe in that program, and I gave them word that I would support that.

I do not view wilderness designation as incompatible with any of these rights.

This is particularly important in our Eastern States, where few areas remain that are 'affected primarily by the forces of nature.'

The time has come to rethink some of the tired old political labels that have blinded our thinking for too long.

Let's reject the nonsense that America is doomed to decline.

I have today signed into law S. 1119, a bill that would designate a new Cumberland Island Wilderness Area in Georgia and make a boundary line adjustment in Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.

In the field of domestic spending it busts the budget by about $1 billion.

I am going to veto any time there's an attempt to bust the budget.

I dream of the day when maybe Washington gets smart enough to give a President the right of a line-item veto.

It is absolutely essential that the House leadership allow a vote on this issue.

The American people have a right to ask how their Government will honor its commitment to reduce deficits over 3 years if it is unwilling to hold the line for i more month.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Joyce C. Young.

Long-term survival depends, alone, on the character of Man.

Today, we celebrate the reputation of the Nordic culture.
