Gerald Ford

We are going to keep it strong here as well as abroad.

I am going to try to play some.

I have chosen not to disapprove Act 1-87, however, because while I have serious reservations about the merits of the act, I believe my disapproval of it would violate the sound precepts of home rule.

I really haven't paid much attention to it.

Freedom is dependent upon the strength of America.

It has achieved peace.

We are not going to try and spend our way out of the recession.

The most pressing task is to reestablish the Federal Election Commission as quickly as possible.

We must improve our understanding of the effects of pollutants and of the means and costs of reducing pollution.

I support the Court's view and ask that the Congress act swiftly to extend the life of the Commission.

We can be proud of the progress we have made in improving the Nation's environmental quality.

It is a measure of our progress as a Nation that today, in the 200th year of American Independence, we are in the midst of a dynamic movement to restore, protect and preserve our environment.

We must not retreat from our commitment to clean elections.

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

I think we have a policy that we are working on, both at home and abroad, to convince a majority of the American people that they ought to vote for our policies and our candidate.

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

It is wonderful to see nothing but good Republicans in the White House.

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

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

Good luck, and I am sure we will see that you are confirmed without too much difficulty.

I think we really mounted an effective campaign.

Our Bicentennial Year is a fitting time to reflect upon the vital role the American Red Cross and its volunteers play in our society to alleviate suffering.

It is a great privilege and pleasure for me to welcome the delegation, the delegates and their spouses to the White House.

I urge all Americans to give their generous support to the work of their local Red Cross chapters.

A realistic assessment of the present health care programs and the responsibilities of Federal, State, and local governments fully demonstrates that the reforms I am proposing in Federal health care are needed now.
