"I encourage all Americans to observe this occasion with programs and activities to support their local EMS workers and to improve their own safety and preparedness skills."

"I'm not interested in another old debate about big government versus small government."

"Government can't create jobs, but it can create the conditions for small businesses to grow and thrive."

"It remains increasingly important that we ensure the safety, security, and effectiveness of our nuclear weapons stockpile."
