His experience and ability uniquely qualify him for this important position.

I’m pleased to appoint George Allen to this important council.

I am pleased to announce my intention to nominate Bruce Chapman to be Director of the Census.

Now, however, a locally written constitution, if adopted by the people of the Virgin Islands, will be the capstone of local self-government.

I consider these capabilities as crucial to the economic well-being of our Nation.

When the National Science Foundation was created in 1950, the United States led all other nations in economic productivity, military power, the sciences, and technology.

Fraud, waste, and abuse disappeared.

As we look for ways to enhance technological innovation-a key to increase productivity and competitiveness, we remember that the ultimate source of innovation is new knowledge.

I believe that today's appointment is a major step in fulfilling our responsibility.

You'll need the support of those of us who are here today.

You have my support and enthusiastic backing in this.

The problem of waste and fraud in the Federal Government is, as I said in my first speech to the Congress, an unrelenting national scandal.

This is the way to go at it, and you sure do have our backing.

We've spoken of this over a period of time—going clear back to the campaign—of fraud, waste, and abuse.

Thank you for what you're doing.

I know we have the talent and dedication to pursue and apply scientific knowledge to meet our present and future needs.

The applause is for you.
