I urge the Congress, upon its return, to move quickly to provide the remaining necessary funds to allow the RTC to complete its mission without increasing the burden on America's taxpayers.
George Bush
The Public Record
George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of Vice President under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. Bush was a World War II veteran and served in various roles within the U.S. government, including as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1976 to 1977. His presidency is noted for significant events such as the Gulf War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as his efforts in foreign policy and international diplomacy.
I am appreciative of the fact that the Congress deleted or significantly limited the availability of over $2.5 billion in funding that I have not designated as 'emergency requirements.'
Listen to the President who says we, our national security, our own national interest depends upon our having an energy program that makes us less dependent on foreign oil.
I therefore speak for all of America when I send best wishes to the members of the European Community for their new steps toward integration.
We call for the immediate, safe, and unconditional release of all those held outside the legal system in the region.
This holiday of renewal and dedication is a tribute to the enduring values of faith and freedom.
