I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared with respect to certain actions of the Government of Syria.
I have no greater honor and no greater responsibility than serving as your Commander in Chief.
In short, do we seek a 21st century of more nuclear weapons or a world without them?
World Press Freedom Day is observed every year on May 3 to remind us of the critical importance of this core freedom.
The United States is committed to this goal and will pursue a new framework for civil nuclear cooperation that permits nations that uphold their responsibilities to enjoy the peaceful uses of the atom.
In the end, it's the willingness to put others above yourselves that sets this team and all the service academies apart.
BP will be held accountable for the costs associated with this tragic event.
We have come together to answer a simple question with consequences for us all: will we uphold the rights and responsibilities of all nations in order to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons?
On World Press Freedom Day, we honor those who carry out these vital tasks despite the many challenges and threats they face.
Syrian actions will determine whether this national emergency is renewed or terminated in the future.
Congratulations on winning your seventh straight Commander in Chief's Trophy.
I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect the national emergency declared with respect to this threat and to maintain in force the sanctions to address this national emergency.
History shows that nations that pursue this path find greater security and opportunity as an integrated member of the international community.
It is a day for us to sound the alarm about restrictions on the media.
We expect nothing less than every effort that they have to stop this leak as quickly as possible.
I think the President -- the President has asked this team since the beginning of this incident to do everything humanly possible as aggressively as we can, to manage and deal with this emergency.
He welcomed the ambitious reform program announced by the Greek authorities.
We're going to do everything in our power to protect our natural resources.
