George H.W. Bush

I recognize this legislation has been a source of considerable public controversy with much concern about the process by which this pay increase was considered.

I would also like to express my special concern about the level of compensation for members of our Federal Judiciary.

I applaud the Members of Congress in both the House and the Senate for taking their recorded votes on this measure.

We don't want an America that is closed to the world.

I can think of no one better suited to be America's trade minister at home and abroad.

Free trade is one of the greatest blessings which a government can confer on a people.

I want to just say a word to the small savers of America.

Every insured deposit will be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.

Welcome aboard. It's great to have you on the team.

The U.S. is the safest place in the world to fly, and it is getting safer.

I'm determined to see that happen.

It would be hard, Sam, to find a more dedicated group of people in the entire Government than the men and women in the Department of Transportation.

We won't rest until every possible step has been taken to make air travel in America as safe as it possibly can be.

We will see that the guarantee to depositors is forever honored.

I want to have my administration aspire to the highest possible ethical standards.

We've got a major problem, and something has to be done.

I don't think anything has happened.

Sam will be working closely with Bill Bennett, and I know that they're going to make a great team.

I am determined that they never will.

I have a funny feeling that that handshake, backed up by a lot of conviction, is going to get the job done for the most part.

The goal of this administration's trade policy, simply put, is to open markets, not close them; to fight protectionism, not to give in to it.

We will make every effort to recover assets diverted from these institutions.

I trust his advice; I respect what he's accomplished in business.

Congratulations to all of you and welcome to the White House.

Thanks for setting a superb example for our country.
