I am returning, without my approval, H.R. 8800, the 'Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1976.'

I am very proud to have the opportunity of signing this proclamation for National Hispanic Heritage Week.

Each new life is a miracle of creation.

Men and women of Hispanic origin fought in our Revolutionary War.

The terms of the members of the Committee... shall be limited to the remaining life of the Committee.
