You can count on it. Note: President Bush spoke at 11:58 a.m. on the South Lawn at the White House, upon his return from Camp David, MD. In his remarks, he referred to Thomas S. Foley, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and President…

Let me just say a quick word about the brutal parading of these allied pilots. I was talking to Speaker Foley about this coming down, and it is very clear that this is a direct violation of every convention that protects prisoners. The…

Peninsula as a Combat Zone January 21, 1991 The President today signed an Executive order designating the Arabian Peninsula areas, airspace, and adjacent waters as a combat zone. This designation means that for Federal tax purposes…

No, I can't do a press conference. I do want to say something, though, about the Baltic States. I am increasingly concerned. We had a statement on that yesterday. I would again appeal to the Soviet Union leaders to resist using force. And…

The date of the commencing of combatant activities in such zone is hereby designated as January 17, 1991.

This order is intended to improve the internal management of the executive branch, and is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its agencies, if…

This step is necessary to support the continued operations of U.S. forces in Operation Desert Storm.

I think they realize the complexity of this situation; we certainly do.

The continued deployment of United States forces in and around the Arabian Peninsula necessitates this action.

I have today... authorized the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force... to order to active duty units and individual members not assigned to units of the Ready Reserve.
