I congratulate the House of Representatives for today endorsing a resolution on arms control that signals to the Soviet Union the American people's determination to seek peace through arms control agreements.

When the people of this country are encouraged to use their own initiative, they accomplish great things.

I know that this year your health fairs will serve many more people than in the past.

The United States placed great importance on the sustained maintenance of a cease-fire in place.

I have expressed to the Government of Israel the absolute necessity of reestablishing and maintaining a strict cease-fire in place.

Let our Representatives vote.

The Administrator of General Services shall also promulgate rules which will ensure that each class of nonpassenger automobiles acquired by all Executive agencies in each fiscal year achieves a fleet average fuel economy

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States of America, including the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, as amended

The Administrator may provide for granting exceptions for individual nonpassenger automobiles or categories of nonpassenger automobiles as he determines to be appropriate

The Administrator of General Services is designated and empowered to perform without approval, ratification, or other action by the President

I have expressed my strong conviction that the PLO must not delay further its withdrawal from Lebanon.

The Administrator shall exercise that authority to ensure that passenger automobiles acquired by all Executive agencies in each fiscal year achieve a fleet average fuel economy standard that is not less than the average fuel economy…

I do hereby proclaim September 5, 1982, as 'Working Mothers' Day'.

Restoring America's energy security has been a top priority since I assumed office.

I totally removed remaining regulations on the price, production, and distribution of crude oil and petroleum products.

I hope you will urge your colleagues to reject this proposal and pass instead the Broomfield-Carney-Stratton resolution.

It is imperative that we maintain a position of unity and strength during the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) currently under way with the Soviet Union.

We have built up our Strategic Petroleum Reserve at an impressive rate.

Our imports of foreign oil have fallen by almost 2 million bbl/day since 1980.

I authorized the Department of Energy to spend $5.8 billion to acquire oil for the Reserve.

Mr. Hughes will also serve concurrently as the spokesman for the Department of State.

The vulnerability of the United States and our allies to possible shocks from oil supply interruptions is significantly lessened.

We have cut its rate of growth nearly in half. And we're just beginning.

The world can no longer accept a situation of constantly escalating violence.

I understand, however, that time demands affecting Congress this year simply have not allowed it to complete timely review of these amendments.
