It is, after all, a solid treaty, carefully negotiated; a treaty that stands on its own substantive merits.

I'm confident that the final vote will indeed give advice and consent to this historic treaty, the historic step toward a safer peace.

I urge every concerned American to help ensure that local programs are available to educate people about these problems and to assist both the older person and the abuser to get the help they need.

I urge the people of the United States to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies.

Transportation is essential to American life.

Today, Cinco de Mayo stands as a symbol of the love of democracy and freedom which continues to burn in the hearts of men and women throughout the Americas.

I do hereby proclaim May 1988 as National Digestive Disease Awareness Month.

I request that the Congress give favorable consideration to this Agreement at an early date to avoid disruption of ongoing cooperative fishing ventures.
