Canada's role is critical for the security of the Atlantic community.

Every American child deserves the kind of school that Brenda Lee runs.

Every school in America must be a good example.

If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

The actions and policies of the Government of Nicaragua continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Nicaragua.

I declared a national emergency to deal with the threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the situation in Nicaragua.

I'm sorry to disappoint these doomcriers, but the economy is strong and getting stronger.

Our role in this war is neutral, and we do not seek to confront Iran.

I want a trade bill, and we've been working with Congress in good faith to produce a bill that would open markets and improve America's competitiveness.

I am extremely proud of the courage and resourcefulness of our military personnel in the Persian Gulf.

This good news doesn't get reported too much because the rising price of imports makes it seem like we're importing more.

The U.S. economy was in great shape.

We seem to hear every night on the evening news that the trade deficit is looming over our economy.

I will veto this bill, and I am confident that my veto will be sustained.

This provision of H.R. 1207 is contrary to fundamental principles of federalism upon which our Constitution is based.

I am therefore also concerned by provisions of the bill requiring use of substantial amounts of scarce Federal public health resources to police these practices.

Space activities continue to provide vital support to U.S. national security interests.

I have grave reservations about the bill's provision that would require States to adhere to Federal standards.

I support the expressed goal of this legislation, which is to reduce potential public health risks.

I am today signing H.R. 1207, the 'Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987,' with mixed feelings.

I believe we have made considerable progress toward realizing these goals, which will allow the United States to return space transportation capabilities to safe and reliable operation.

Despite these concerns, I am willing to accept the view of the Congress that H.R. 1207 can assist in preventing potential health and safety problems for the American public.

The States have always had the primary role in the regulation of wholesale drug distributors.

I believe they would be proud of the challenge we have undertaken to move the Nation forward into a new era of space flight.
