Well, I don't know. That's a good question, Brit [Brit Hume, ABC News]. But it didn't lighten up after I did have the State of the Union Message, and so I didn't notice a change there. I noticed them trying to be very critical of that. I…
I'm not admiring him. He's knocking my socks off, and so are the other four, and so is the other candidate. But we're in a new territory now. If you don't believe me, ask these guys.
President Mircea Snegur of Moldova February 18, 1992 The President and Moldovan President Mircea Snegur met for 20 minutes today in the Oval Office. It was the first meeting between the two leaders. The President reiterated U.S…
I'll tell you how we do a lot of that is through the different groups that represent these people. But that's not maybe as good as what you're suggesting here. There may be a way we can do more of that. You go to these hospitals and talk…
Special ed. Hollis may need more on special ed. It is my feeling that block grants should be used instead of these mandates out of some subcommittee in Washington, DC. And if you need more for special ed, it ought to be here in a block…
I will. Federal funding, incidentally, for the Department of Education is up. It's up considerably from where I came into office. But you know what a problem is? A problem is that Congress still wants to quote, mandate, unquote, the…
I don't know. I'm a little unclear whether you favor a capital gains reduction. I do, and I've been fighting for it for a long time. And the answer is, get me more people in the Congress that will support it. I can't do any more. I'm…
All right. That's great. Can I read your slogan? ``Willing and still able.'' Right here. Okay. Thank you all. Thank you very much. Now, who's got the next question? Right in the back. Yes, sir. Environmental Policy
These are the things that Tuesday is about, the course we set for our country and the future we build for our kids---- [At this point, AIDS activists interrupted the President's remarks.] May I just make a comment because these people…
Thanks so much. I guess we're out of here. Good to see you all. Thanks for coming. Glad to see you. Thanks for taking the time. Note: The President spoke at 1:04 p.m. at Mountain View Middle School. Arnold Schwarzenegger was Chairman of…
I am in favor of term limitations. I'm in favor of that, and if it's good enough for the President it ought to be good enough for some of these Congressmen. All right. Yes, sir, right here. Government Decentralization
Come on. The answer to that question is yes. Here you go. I signed that for you. All right, who's got--right here in the front.
I stand on asking your support for the bill that I referred to that's before the Ways and Means Committee right now, before the Senate Finance Committee, because it does permit the deduction of interest on student loans. And I think you're…
Her question was whether I plan to attend the United Nations conference which will be held in Brazil on the environment. We're talking about that right now. The problem is it comes at a time when we've got a relatively hot political year…
Thank you all very much. Now let's go out and do a little canvassing. Note: The President spoke at 10:10 a.m. at the Davidson Flight Service hangar at Nashua Airport.
Well, I thought--I can't remember exactly what he--I thought it was eloquent, but I don't want to agree with him until I go back and review exactly what he said.
No. No. I'm glad you put that--I said I'm glad to be talking about this whole package later on, but not negotiating a tax increase. Thank you for letting me clear that up.
We don't need any tax increases. What we need to do is stimulate the economy. And every time they aim at the wealthy, you hit these guys. That's just the way it works. And so why divide, kind of keep trying to divide America class against…
Indicators February 14, 1992 To The Congress of the United States: Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1863(j)(1), I am submitting to the Congress a report of the National Science Board entitled Science & Engineering Indicators--1991. This report is the…
No, not if you don't have to spend. It's a big saving. Here we go. Those costs are passed along, you see, to the system. Note: The President spoke at 3:25 p.m. in the Cabinet Room at the White House.
How will it pay for it? Because you won't be putting--you'll be reducing health care costs by $20 billion to $40 billion, depending on whose estimates you believe. So it's a very----
We've got some good ones on there. There's 38 pages of how to do that. So it takes a lot of reading to get through them all, but they're very good suggestions. But the main one I want to see is to get rid of all of these frivolous…
Well, I want the whole loaf in this case, and I think the country does, too. We've been very pleased with the support from groups all across it. But I want to hear a little more from our able Members here, the leaders on the tax side for…
Mr. Prime Minister, it's been a great pleasure to meet with a man whose career embodies a devotion to democracy and human rights. And seven times the people of Turkey have sent you to serve as Prime Minister, an office that you've served…
May I say to the visiting journalists from Turkey what an honor and, really, privilege it is to have the Prime Minister here. I respect him. I watched his victory with admiration. I have congratulated him on that. And I'm going to assure…
Politicians like George H.W. Bush
