Participated in the presentation of the National Space Club's Goddard Memorial Trophy to Robert A. Frosch.

Controls, mandatory controls, are not a solution to inflation.

Met with representatives of the health care industry to discuss medical care costs.

The central theme in all three of these studies is the failure of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to provide unified leadership and consistent direction of the agency's activities.

The need for more effective management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been amply demonstrated over the past year.

I think this is going to be wonderful news for our country.

I think it came out very well; the final results of the bill was excellent.

It would permit the Commission and the American people to hold one individual-the Chairman—accountable for implementation of the Commission's policies through effective management of the Commission staff.

These problems must be rectified if the Commission is to be a strong and effective safety regulator.

The Kemeny Commission concluded that the underlying problem at Three Mile Island stemmed not from deficient equipment but rather from compounded human failures.

Almost a quarter of a trillion dollars over the next 10 years to be used for the benefit of the American people is indeed an achievement of which we can all be proud.

The lessons learned from that accident go beyond crisis management, however.

Failure to do so constitutes a continuing nuclear safety hazard.

So, in every respect, it's good for our Nation in lessening our dependence on foreign oil imports.

The Plan is designed to strengthen management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in order to foster safety in all of the agency's activities.

And of course, we can be using their receipts from this tax to explore other alternative sources of energy.

Our older citizens have been through much more difficult times: two World Wars, the Korean conflict, the Vietnam conflict, a great depression.

Every day in our great country about 5,000 Americans reach the age of 65.

This question, how Americans approach their 65th year and how they live their lives after the age of 65, will be the subject of the White House Conference on Aging.

I strongly condemn the tragic assassination of Archbishop Oscar A. Romero of San Salvador yesterday.

It cannot and should not intimidate those who seek social justice and democracy.

He spoke for the poor of El Salvador, where their voices had been ignored for too long.

It is a shocking and unconscionable act.

Import relief would have an inflationary impact and a consumer cost that I consider unacceptable in light of the strong emphasis that this Administration is placing on its anti-inflation efforts.

There is serious doubt that import relief would help the domestic industry effectively adjust to compete with imports once the relief has expired.
