Gerald Ford

Our Nation must develop and produce new sources of this vital fuel.

I have signed H.R. 11315, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976.

This act reaffirms and further defines the concept of multiple-use, sustained-yield management.

A cooperative approach between Federal, State, and private inspection and weighing agencies is far superior to earlier congressional proposals for total federalization.

With the signing of this piece of legislation, nine of my energy proposals are now law.

This legislation fills a real need--a need to guarantee the integrity of our national grain inspection and weighing system.

I believe that this administration has been responsive and have carried out the law to the letter.

This National Forest Management Act of 1976 is the product of diverse and often conflicting interests.

This legislation, proposed by my administration, continues the long-standing commitment of the United States to seek a stable international order under the law.

I believe that the American people, if given the leadership that I would expect to give, would be willing to give this thrust to preserve the peace and the necessary restraint at home to hold the lid on spending.

Without the strong grain inspection and weighing reform measures included in this bill, our whole international grain trade is jeopardized.

On balance, I find this act to be a reasonable compromise of the many competing interests which affect the National Forest System.

It focuses on those veterans who are our top priority--the veterans with service-connected disabilities--and for whom the VA medical system was developed.

We're going to win November 2, and we won't let you down.

I think we have an excellent opportunity to pull the political surprise of the century and to come back and win.

I consider this addition to be unnecessary.

This statute will also make it easier for our citizens and foreign governments to turn to the courts to resolve ordinary legal disputes.

I am pleased to sign S. 3091--the National Forest Management Act of 1976.

The building of this pipeline exemplifies the role that the private sector must take as we continue our efforts to increase our energy supplies.

I have with pleasure signed the grain standards act, thus ensuring continued confidence in our international grain trade system.

The bill will mandate the prompt issuance of all necessary certificates, permits, leases, rights-of-way, and other authorizations to expedite the initial construction of the route chosen.

I have indicated to General Brown that the words that he used in that interview, in that particular case, and in several others were very ill-advised.

There will be a job for every American who wants a job.

I believe this bill provides a workable program aimed at solving one of the highest priority environmental problems confronting the Nation, the disposal of hazardous wastes.

I HAVE signed into law H.R. 12572, the United States Grain Standards Act of 1976.
