The United States must have the capability to rapidly mobilize its resources in the interest of national security.

I am pleased to nominate Stanford E. Parris to be Administrator of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.

The Cubans have not engaged in any offensive military actions against UNITA, including the use of chemical warfare.

I hereby certify that the United States has received explicit and reliable assurances from each of the parties to the Bilateral Agreement.

I intend to nominate George H. Pfau, Jr., of California, to be a Director of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

I hereby determine and certify that each of the signatories to the Tripartite Agreement is in compliance with its obligations under the Agreement.
