George H.W. Bush

I do not believe that current conditions in Nicaragua justify lifting the trade sanctions.

I'd like to see the utmost cooperation between the military.

International exchanges... will slowly wear away at the obstacles to peace as surely as water wears away a hard stone.

I think the major objective here should be to see that these elections are free and fair.

I can sympathize; and, yes, I'll be glad to discuss it further with President Azcona.

Julio, we certainly consider that.

We are living in perhaps the most exciting time of change certainly in the nuclear age.

Every American who lives abroad returns home with a new perspective and, I believe, a deeper feeling for our own country.

We learned a lot about the Chinese people.

I was most impressed... by just that menu you read off there of how these kids come and then move into positions of leadership.

I am saving their lives.

You can make a difference, too -- with your classmates, your friends, and your family -- by saying no to drugs.

I promise you we'll have fun, but I want this Halloween to be about more than ghosts and goblins and scary things.

I call upon all Americans to join me in observing this week by supporting community drug abuse prevention efforts.

The work of outstanding teachers like yourselves has a profound impact not just on the students you teach but on the Nation as a whole.

A clear consensus is emerging on the crucial need to improve math and science education in this country.

I commend the Congress for these actions.

Today the President signed into law H.R. 3385, a bill to provide assistance for free and fair elections in Nicaragua.

We will continue to support them when the forces of democracy look to us for help.

This year, regrettably, the Congress has expanded the circumstances in which Federal appropriated funds could be used to pay for abortions.

I would veto legislation if it permitted the use of appropriated funds to pay for abortions other than those in which the life of the mother would be endangered.

This legislation underfunds the Pell grant program, weakening the Nation's commitment to expanding opportunity for higher education.

I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 2990, the 'Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1990.'

This bill, by supporting democratic institutions in Nicaragua, will contribute to peace in the entire region.

There's no ceiling on the compassion of the American people.
