"It is very clear to me this morning... that the administrative budget deficit for this year will be very substantially below the $5.3 billion originally estimated."

"It is important, in this regard, that we continue to seek the advice of experts, both within and outside the Government, on the goals, priorities and accomplishments of these enterprises."

"This action at this time was required by the events of the time."

"We have much to be thankful for, generally speaking, much to be encouraged about."
