George H.W. Bush

Welcome, welcome to Mr. Jefferson's university, the alma mater of President Woodrow Wilson.

James Bert Thomas, Jr., will continue to serve as Inspector General for the Department of Education.

Let's not be afraid, as Mr. Jefferson said, to follow truth, wherever it may lead.

Today's sessions with the Governors were very constructive.

The most prominent issue before them is a question of flexibility in their spending of Federal funds.

U.S. support for his program.

The time for study is over.

This is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.

God bless them all, and God bless the United States.

Let us think of these three men and what they envisioned for the Republic.

I felt a consensus could be reached on a number of issues.

I share with the people of Argentina a strong desire for freedom and democracy.

Reducing the capital gains tax means Americans who have capital gains at some time in their lives -- about half of our population -- will be able to keep more of their savings to invest for the future.

Middle-income Americans who invest wisely, farmers selling off a piece of the family farm, the elderly widow who is living off the assets she and her husband struggled to accumulate, the couple who planned ahead and saved so their children…

I firmly believe a capital gains reduction is the right policy for all Americans.

I look forward to working with the Congress on those critical issues.

I am pleased to submit for your consideration and enactment the 'Comprehensive Campaign Finance Reform Act of 1989.'

It is also designed to reform a system which has led to a 'permanent Congress.'

It represents comprehensive campaign finance reform legislation designed to reduce substantially the power of special economic interests while enhancing the role of individuals and political parties.

Support for a capital gains differential is a vote to continue that prosperity, and I ask for your support when the Jenkins-Archer proposal comes to a vote.

Today the President transmitted to Congress comprehensive campaign finance reform legislation designed to lessen the power of special economic interests and restore competition to American congressional elections.

This legislative proposal would implement the reforms I announced earlier this summer.

Reestablishing a capital gains differential, which was part of our tax laws for over six decades, provides the needed incentives for those willing to take a risk on new products and research that are the result of American ingenuity.

I announce my intention to nominate Edwin G. Foulke, Jr., to be a member of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

The proposal also restores competition to congressional elections by reducing the advantages of incumbency.
