We must now build on the progress that we've made already in many vital areas.

It is charged with improving coordination among Government programs affecting veterans and targeting benefits and services to disadvantaged veterans, particularly those of the Vietnam era.

America needs to build muscle, not fat.

To help us revitalize American industry, business, labor, and the government must form a new and a vital partnership.

This is no time for an excessive stimulus program.

Youth employment legislation is one of my top domestic priorities.

I herewith report a new Department of Commerce deferral of $15.8 million in funds for the International Energy Exposition in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Today we stand with Zimbabwe's efforts toward economic development and toward stability.

Some have asked me as President, 'Why do you take such an interest in Africa? Your predecessors never did.'

I think the greatness of any nation is measured not just in material things, not even what it possesses, but what it stands for.

It's a great pleasure for me this afternoon to welcome to the White House and to our Nation, President Ziaur, the very fine leader of Bangladesh.

I am extremely pleased with the broad, bipartisan endorsement that the bill received.

We stood with the sanctions against the former oppressive government; we stood with the forces of liberation and justice.

President Ziaur has been in the forefront of making the lives of the Bangladesh citizens better each year.

President Carter expressed his personal admiration for the economic and political progress Bangladesh has made under President Ziaur Rahman's leadership.

I am pleased to accept your invitation to a one-on-one debate with Governor Reagan at the National Press Club.

I am very concerned that, with the passage of this legislation into law, recruitment of needed physicians to nonVA health care systems will be adversely affected.

Women were fighting not only for their own rights but for the rights of all who were excluded from or mistreated in the American society.

The VA currently enjoys an excellent recruitment and retention record, especially compared to other Federal medical systems.

We are going to make sure that before June of 1982 that equal rights for women are guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States.

I look forward to this debate as the beginning of a constructive cross-examination of the candidates by members of the press.
