Jimmy Carter

This action underscores my commitment to the preservation and enhancement of one of our Nation's most historic streets.

I have therefore directed Secretary Andrus to consider implementation of the portions of the bill relating to restoration and maintenance of the Missions only if they pass into secular ownership and use.

I would have been pleased to sign it, as my advisers make clear repeatedly.

I hope that as the Committee carries out its responsibilities, it will make the utmost efforts to protect the existence of the species inhabiting this planet.

I am confident that the cooperative efforts of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, the Congress, the government and people of the District of Columbia, and the American business community will result in the revitalization of…

I am prepared to work with the Congress next year to pass a counter-cyclical meat import bill.

Destruction of the life of an endangered or threatened species should never be undertaken lightly, no matter how insignificant the species may appear today.

I am signing into law S. 3085, the Child Nutrition Amendments of 1978.

This provision is an important contribution to our effort to update outmoded regulations throughout the Government and eliminate unnecessary ones.

This bill gives it more flexible procedures.

I have withheld my approval of H.R. 11545, the Meat Import Act of 1978.

My administration will make every effort to implement these amendments properly and to work with the Congress to secure continued authorization for the Endangered Species Act in the future.

This Administration supports such counter-cyclical management of meat imports.

Today I am signing S. 2796, a bill which provides continuing authorization for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

I am convinced that this flexibility must be preserved as a weapon against inflation.

I congratulate Senators John Culver, Jennings Randolph, Howard Baker, and Malcolm Wallop and Congressmen John Murphy, Robert Leggett, John Dingell, David Bowen, and Ed Forsythe for their hard work.

At a time of urgent need for budget restraint, we cannot tolerate spending for any but truly essential purposes.

I am concerned that the shipment-by-shipment notification required by this bill will impose unnecessary burdens on American exporters.

I am signing today S. 1829, a bill which authorizes appropriations for the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (PADC) for fiscal years 1979 through 1983.

There is, therefore, no reason for the government to provide special support to increase the total supply of professional nurses.

This is one of the most important pieces of legislation to have passed the Congress of the United States, I would say, in a century.

I do not have any intention of doing this.

Today we can rightfully claim that we have a conscious national policy for dealing with the energy problems of the present and also to help us deal with them in the future.

This legislation will enable us to save by 1985 about 2 1/2 million barrels of oil per day.

I believe that we all know that conservation is the easiest and the cheapest way to either create or to save an additional barrel of oil or a thousand cubic feet of gas or a Btu of energy.
