George H.W. Bush

Congratulations on the completion of a bilateral framework agreement on trade and investment between our two countries.

Parents really are especially important.

It's the toughest deficit reduction package ever.

I was elected to govern.

We welcome the opportunity to strengthen this aspect of our economic cooperation with Chile.

No family, no nation can continue to do business the way the Federal Government has been operating and survive.

The time has come to get America's fiscal house in order.

We look forward to the completion of Chilean legislative action which will insure that justice is done.

I'm not, and I know you're not, a fan of tax increases.

We know that when the challenge is great, great things happen in America.

To all the people that disagree and the people on the sidelines, let me say this: You can pick the package apart, but you cannot realistically put a better package together.

Most kids who go on to become scientists or engineers first became interested in those subjects in elementary school or junior high.

Tonight I'm going to take the case for this budget agreement to the American people.

Calls for democracy and human rights are being reborn everywhere.

We've got to keep together.

It's time to end the talk about the deficit.

I want to see a peaceful resolution if at all possible.

The bill that I'm signing here today will keep the Government operating through October 5th.

This budget is the right package at the right time.

The answer is: I'm just taking on board what I've been told by people that have studied it carefully.

I'd like to see market forces determine it rather than excessive speculation.

The deficit reduction package is a balanced package.

This is a time for leadership.

I've said -- and I'm not looking at this in a political way -- we've got to get it done.

We cannot keep mortgaging the futures of our children and our grandchildren, and we will not.
