Experience shows that deregulation works to serve consumers and to serve an expanding economy.

And it's the best way to assure consumers of adequate and reliable supplies of clean energy at the lowest reasonable price.

This legislation represents the bipartisan achievement of this Administration's first major energy initiative -- the elimination of natural gas price controls.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning July 23, 1989, as Lyme Disease Awareness Week.

This long-overdue legislation is an important step in enhancing domestic energy supplies.

This is not just economical legislation; it is also environmental legislation.

Natural gas, methane, one of the best fuels on the world's energy menu -- it's clean, it's efficient, relatively abundant.

The bottom line is: A strong domestic drilling and producing business is essential to the national security of the United States of America.

By acting now, we can bequeath a legacy to the next century of a cleaner, more prosperous and, yes, more secure America.

We are united in the conviction that the best way to deal with our energy problems and serve the American people is to let our market economy work.

Today's legislation is a good start down that path.

Our administration wants to bring this pride to every young person who wants to work.
