Change the control of the United States Congress.

The National Institute for Literacy is the centerpiece of the National Literacy Act.

Aggression will not stand.

We need to help these children and help these families.

I urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities in honor of the black Americans who served our Nation as members of the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments.

We are going to account for every single person who is missing.
