One of the gratifying things about this program is that over 200,000 young Americans have been given awards for outstanding work in protecting the quality of life of American people.

And they are representative of literally tens of thousands of young people who participated in this youth environment project.

These young people are representative of those 5 million people.

I'm very proud of what these young people have done and what they mean to us now and in the future.

They lay the groundwork for themselves, in their own lives, to continue this work in years ahead.

I will nominate Angier Biddle Duke, of New York City, to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Kingdom of Morocco.

I will nominate Michael B. Smith, of Potomac, Md., to be Deputy Special Representative for Trade Negotiations.

Our own assessment and our decisions on what to do cannot be made immediately.

The Commission has made many far-reaching recommendations to improve nuclear safety.

This accident at Three Mile Island brought home the need to assure that nuclear power is as safe as possible.

I am certain she will be an outstanding Secretary.

The passage of legislation protecting Alaska's priceless natural heritage is the highest environmental priority of my administration.

I will nominate Robert Hormats, of Chevy Chase, Md., to be Deputy Special Representative for Trade Negotiations.

Judge Shirley Hufstedler has one of the best minds in the country.

I've given a high priority to furthering the safety of nuclear energy.

I wanted a strong, creative thinker who could take a new, fresh look at the way we educate our children.

I consider this work to be of transcendent importance.

I intend to nominate George W. Cunningham to be Assistant Secretary of Energy for Nuclear Energy.

I am pleased to note that the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted to report the Alaska lands bill earlier this afternoon.

She is deeply committed to the quality of education and enjoys my full confidence and support.

This report will guide us all in learning about the accident itself and in assuring the higher degree of safety for our citizens.

Now is the time for us to work together, to recognize that we have a common problem, a common challenge.

The most important single action that every single person in this country can take is to save energy, to conserve energy, to stop wasting energy.

Conservation is one of the most important and patriotic challenges that we've ever faced.

It's not a time to grasp for selfish advantage.
