It is my heartfelt wish that any good fortune that I derive from it will auger well for our country.

It is a time to reaffirm hopes and goals and a time to cast away the troubles of the old year.

The observance of Afro-American (Black) History Month affords all of us a fine opportunity to recognize further and to appreciate the role of black Americans in the development of our nation.

Those born in the Year of the Boar are lucky in all ways and their lives are marked by success.

I came to Washington with a deep personal commitment to change America's economic future.

Understanding black history is fundamental to a thorough comprehension of the full scope and sweep of the American historical experience.

In this, the Year of the Boar, it is a pleasure to extend my warmest greetings to all those celebrating this Lunar New Year, 4681.

The unemployment that many of our citizens are experiencing is a consequence of the disinflation that must necessarily follow the accelerating inflation of the last decade.

Government spending absorbed an increasing share of national income.

Only a healthy and growing economy can provide the more than 13 million jobs needed to achieve a progressively lower level of unemployment over the next 5 years.

I don't want, however, something to take away from this legitimate negotiation that's going on to reduce weapons.

I think you always—sit down and see where you can come together on something that will be beneficial to the people.
