It's what I've wanted from the very beginning.

I do hereby urge the people of the United States to observe the week of October 12 as National School Lunch Week.

There has never been any hesitation to share your concerns with me.

I feel a special pride and nostalgia each year as I issue this message designating October as 'Country Music Month.'

Progress is still there to be made.

I am transmitting herewith the Twelfth Annual Report to the Congress of the National Advisory Council on Economic Opportunity.

We hope that the resumed talks will be conducted on a serious, sustained and productive basis and will lead to a just and lasting settlement of all outstanding issues.

We'll make even more progress in the future.

I know how important rural America is to our country.

This bill will improve the Federal Government's capacity to meet the needs of our small towns and country areas.

Today rural America is entering a new era of opportunity for growth and progress.

Today I am pleased to sign the Rural Development Policy Act of 1980, which places into law many of the reforms that were developed by this rural policy.
