George W. Bush

We share this great love and respect for freedom.

This new Executive Order relates to powers conferred to me by section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA and clarifies that the Executive Orders at issue prohibit a blocked United States person from making humanitarian donations.

I want to talk about a vital issue, and that is Social Security.

The ratios of payers to beneficiaries is going from 16 to 1 to 3.3 to 1 today.

Social Security is vital.

I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.

To keep the promise of Social Security alive for our children and grandchildren, we need to fix Social Security now once and for all.

I exercised my statutory authority to declare national emergencies in Executive Orders 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and 12947 of January 23, 1995, as amended.

All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the provisions of this order.

Leadership is about confronting problems and finding solutions.

I think that when more people own something, the more they'll have a stake in the future of this country.

Our children's retirement security is more important than partisan politics.

We need to be wise about spending the money.

Nothing changes for people who have retired or near retirement.

We're going to talk to the American people over and over and over again until the Members of Congress recognize we have a problem.

I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order.

The American people expect us to solve problems and not pass them on to future generations.

Every week, I'm out of Washington, DC, in forums like this.

Social Security was one of the great moral successes of the 20th century.

I have issued a new Executive Order that clarifies certain measures taken to address those national emergencies.

Lester M. Crawford, of Maryland, to be Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Department of Health and Human Services, vice Mark B. McClellan.

I hereby determine and certify, with respect to Pakistan, that a waiver of any provision of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2005... would facilitate the transition to democratic rule in…

I hereby waive, with respect to Pakistan, any such provision.

These funds will support U.S. Armed Forces and Coalition partners as we advance democracy, fight the insurgency, and train and equip Iraqi security forces.

Today it is my honor to call this son of Humble, Texas, the 80th Attorney General of the United States.
