"I have placed before the Congress a comprehensive set of legislative proposals designed to help us achieve our goal of energy independence."

"There isn't a single indicator that isn't improving."

"I hope that the Congress will show some wisdom and do some affirmative action in trying to increase our domestic production."

"We can be very optimistic that we have overcome the worst ravages of the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930's."
