Today we salute the free press for its dedication to the people's right to know.
The United States values freedom of the press as one of the most fundamental political rights and as a necessary component of free societies.
State and local criminal laws already provide criminal penalties for the violence addressed by the new Federal crime defined in section 7 of H.R. 1592.
I recommend, therefore, that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to ratification.
I salute those in the press who courageously do their work at great risk.
We pray to acknowledge God's sovereignty in our lives and our complete dependence on Him.
As Shirley mentioned, since the days of our founding, our Nation has been called to prayer.
There has been no persuasive demonstration of any need to federalize such a potentially large range of violent crime enforcement.
I believe this administration has done that, particularly since we cut taxes.
The best way to enhance progrowth economic policies is to cut the taxes on the American people.
The outcome in Iraq will have a direct impact on the security of our people here at home.
The most important job we have is to secure the United States of America.
