Through their continuous efforts to strengthen and enrich our communities, volunteers not only bring hope to others but also renew our faith in the ideals upon which this Nation was founded.

I'm blessed to be President at this fascinating time in the history of the world.

So, Ron, you take the helm at AID at an extremely important time.

We are committed to strengthening America's position in science and technology.

Science must be able to continue seeking answers to our most fundamental questions.

I wish you Godspeed, and I'm delighted that a man of your standing is willing to undertake this terribly important assignment.

I will use this noble office, this bully pulpit, if you will, to speak out against hate and discrimination everywhere it exists.

I salute the 80 million Americans who serve as volunteers.

Ours is an intellectual prosperity, unprecedented in history.

I do hereby proclaim May 1, 1990, as Loyalty Day and call upon all Americans and patriotic, civic, fraternal, and educational organizations to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies.

Our allegiance to this Nation is pledged freely -- indeed, proudly -- because it is allegiance to a noble ideal.

Every one of us must confront and condemn racism, anti-Semitism, bigotry, and hate not next week, not tomorrow, but right now -- every single one of us.

We stand at a very interesting time.

Everybody here knows that.

By reaffirming the dignity and worth of the individual and the power of collective action, volunteers help the United States to experience a 'new birth of freedom' each day.

We're committed to investing in the future.

This administration is committed to investing in the future.

We want to advance America's tradition of innovation.

I herewith report three proposed rescissions totalling $226,883,000.

There is no problem in America that is not being solved somewhere.

I hope that everybody there will find a way to involve himself or herself -- or child -- in protecting the environment.

I'm proud to have weighed in here.

Every day is a test of my good will because I don't have forgiveness in my heart as long as one American is held against his will.

I want to just know --

It is an immoral practice, and it has to stop.
