The fundamental diplomatic arrow is not fully in the air yet.

The United States has a close and valued relationship with its longtime friend Saudi Arabia.

The DPA vests the President with the authority to direct materials and facilities from civilian to Federal use to ensure adequate industrial production and supply for national security purposes.

It was in the spirit of this relationship that the United States responded favorably to King Fahd's request that we send troops to the Kingdom.

Sanctions remain our strategy for resolving this crisis.

There are certain principles here -- right and wrong -- moral principles.

I'm not making any commitments.

The whole world versus Saddam Hussein.

We hold Saddam Hussein responsible if there is any terrorist act against us.

This discrimination would weaken U.S. negotiating positions with foreign contractors and hinder competition between foreign and domestic firms.

I still believe that Iran is doing what it has indicated to the world community it would do.

The Secretary of the Interior would recommend that he veto the bill.

We have to see how effective that can be.

Providing Saudi Arabia with improved ability to defend itself is another important element of this relationship.

To require the use of U.S. auditing standards would be contrary to the primary rationale for reciprocal audit agreements.

This provision discriminates against foreign firms because it would place a greater burden on foreign contractors than currently exists on U.S. contractors.

I want to see a peaceful resolution.

This would be unfair to all other groups seeking recognition.

The administration has determined that it is in the interest of the United States to provide Saudi Arabia with additional means to protect itself.

The coalition is holding together.

It is essential that the United States be able and willing to provide the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces with the weapons and training it needs to deter and defend itself against aggression.

I hereby proclaim the week beginning September 16, 1990, as Emergency Medical Services Week.

I do hereby proclaim October 9, 1990, as Leif Erikson Day.

The bill would settle a matter currently in litigation in a manner which is detrimental to the Federal Government.

The State's right to compensation is questionable at best.
