This is the only device one has for making something happen.

I think we sometimes underestimate the intelligence of the American people.

It is time for the Congress to act responsibly on a budget resolution -- not time for business as usual.

I expressed my appreciation to the Speaker, the majority leader in the Senate, the majority leader in the House.

I will veto the continuing resolution.

I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 4328, the 'Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Trade Act of 1990.'

Enactment of the Andean Trade Preference Act of 1990 will permit the United States to support the efforts of the Andean countries to eliminate the production, processing, and shipment of illicit drugs.

The bill provides no justification for the $35 million Federal payment.

H.R. 4328 is reprehensible at a time when the United States' highest international priority is to strengthen international cooperation.

This protectionist bill unquestionably would result in a mass exodus of perhaps half the 100 nations participating in the Round.

The United States has already compensated the Seneca Nation for any impropriety relating to the lease arrangement.

It is incumbent upon the United States to aid them in their efforts to develop legitimate trading opportunities for their people.

The Textile, Apparel, and Footwear Trade Act of 1990 is simply not the panacea advertised by its proponents.

Just as CBI did for the countries of the Caribbean Basin, the Andean Trade Preference Act of 1990 will provide the authority to establish duty-free treatment of imports from the four Andean countries.

These costs would continue to rise annually.

This highly protectionist bill would damage the national economy, increase already artificially high costs to consumers of several basic goods, and abrogate our international agreements.

The Department of Justice advises that the United States has no further legal liability for the lease arrangement.

The Andean nations are engaged in a serious struggle to combat illegal narcotics trafficking.

Domestic production has been up slightly since 1987.

H.R. 5367 requires the United States and the State of New York to compensate the Seneca Nation for a 1890 lease arrangement approved by Congress.

Let us also celebrate the timeless spirit of learning, exploration, and discovery that has so enriched us all.

This is my message to the German people, and that is the heartfelt sentiment of the American people.

I want to particularly welcome and pay my respects to Billy Payne; also to Maynard and Andy Young.

Failure to get a deficit deal will adversely affect every region of the country.

I am convinced that at this juncture I can't craft a better deal that can have the approval of both sides of the aisle in the Congress.
