This bill is not the entire or the final solution, but it does make important progress.

I will continue to enforce vigorously this nation's immigration laws.

I invite all the American people, and people everywhere, to join me on this thirty-fourth anniversary of the United Nations, in strengthening our common resolve to increase its effectiveness in meeting the global challenges and aspirations…

Welfare reform has been a decade-long legislative struggle.

I'm asking the Congress to provide $1.6 billion this winter and $2.4 billion next year and thereafter to ease the burden of rising energy costs on people who most need assistance.

As a nation, we simply must face up to the true cost of energy.

We can honor, in the process, environmental laws.

I will support ceilings for the National Defense Function for FY 1980 of $141.2 billion in Budget Authority and $130.6 billion in outlays.

I plan to send promptly to the Congress a defense budget amendment to restore enough funds to continue in FY 1980 to carry out the Administration's defense program.

Our strong support for Zaire is crucial.

I intend to continue to support our mutual commitment with our NATO Allies.

The administration supports early congressional action.
