George H.W. Bush

Campaign finance reform must also employ neutral principles that foster free competition in ideas without threatening freedom of speech.

I hereby designate November 1991 as National Accessible Housing Month.

I am convinced START is effectively verifiable.

Indeed, perhaps the best thing about this occasion is that it reminds us that God loves each and every one of us.

The crime bill produced by the Democrat-controlled conference is unacceptable.

I wish that many of the ideas we've put forward had been enacted.

I have been calling on the Congress to pass a tough crime bill that will remove the handcuffs from law enforcement and end needless delays in the criminal justice system.

Don't despair. We're making some progress here.

No, it's not a fair criticism.

I will not accept any effort by the Congress to turn the clock back on the progress we have made in the courts on criminal justice reform.

The coercive spending limits would stack the deck even more heavily in favor of incumbents.

Campaign finance reform must also employ neutral principles that foster free competition in ideas without threatening freedom of speech.

H.R. 3750 would amount to a tax increase primarily to subsidize incumbent politicians.

H.R. 3750 is incompatible with the President's proposals and these key principles.

Although the President favors the abolition of all subsidized special interest PACs, there is no constitutionally permissible basis for placing these restrictions on unsubsidized PACs and party committees.

Such a restriction can only be justified by a compelling interest of the Government, such as preventing corruption or the appearance of corruption.

I believe that considerable progress was made toward an overall framework agreement.

Military families weather the challenges with perseverance and pride.

The services provided by this new program would only take effect if the President specifically designated the appropriation for the program as an emergency requirement.

I urge all parties to continue their efforts toward this end.

Today we assure these Americans of our abiding gratitude, respect, and support.

Such awards would undesirably depart from the current practice of limiting incentive awards to current Government employees.

The stoicism and the patriotism displayed by America's military families during the conflict in the Persian Gulf uplifted and inspired our entire country.

I would like to reemphasize that I believe that the work already done by the Secretary General and his representatives is substantial and extremely positive.

H.R. 2263 would provide excessive increases in the maximum amount for incentive awards.
