George H.W. Bush

I am pleased today to sign into law H.R. 3, the 'Veterans' Compensation Amendments of 1991.'

Our goals have not changed.

I have absolutely no intention of reinstating the draft.

We do not seek Iraq's destruction, nor do we seek to punish the Iraqi people for the decisions and policies of their leaders.

The coalition will prevail.

The war will not end with Saddam Hussein standing with his view that he will not withdraw from Kuwait.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning February 17, 1991, as National Visiting Nurse Associations Week.

I believe one of the things we'll see that came out of these recent meetings with the Iraqi Hadami is that Iraq is showing no flexibility whatsoever in terms of withdrawing from Kuwait.

The goal would be to progressively eliminate obstacles to the flow of goods and services and to investment.

I want those objectives achieved with the most limited loss of life possible.

You are on the problem-solving edge of this equation.

The budget includes proposals to help reduce illness and death from preventable diseases.

The GSP grants duty-free access to the United States to certain goods from developing countries.

We're fighting in the Gulf so that this generation of Scouts never has to.

I have now determined that both countries meet the worker rights standard of the law and are otherwise eligible to have their GSP benefits reinstated.

The budget further increases the Administration's investment in drug prevention, treatment, and law enforcement.

That's the kind of work that makes the Scouts Points of Light and the leading lights of a new generation.

The budget proposes investments to prepare children better for school.

I have now determined that it meets the worker rights standard of the law and is otherwise eligible to have its GSP benefits reinstated.

Thank you for all the wonderful good deeds you do every single day because in that way you're keeping our country strong.

We can, however, return to growth soon -- and proceed on the path to a new era of expansion.

The budget contains several proposals that reflect my commitment to managing government better.

The budget supports an expansion of the Federal Government's investment in highways and bridges to over $20 billion within 5 years.

I have determined that Namibia meets the eligibility standards of the GSP law and that it is appropriate to designate Namibia as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP.

The budget recommends an increase of $8.4 billion in the Federal investment in research and development.
