"We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one."
"Any intervention, such as that of the German Reichsbank in the Spring of 1923, in which only a small part of the increasing note-expansion was recovered by the banks through the sale of foreign bills, would necessarily be unsuccessful. Led by the idea of opposing speculation, inflationistic governments have allowed themselves to become involved in measures whose meaning is hardly intelligible. Thus at one time the importation of notes, then their exportation, then again both their exportation and importation, have been prohibited. Exporters have been forbidden to sell for their own country's notes, importers to buy with them."
"When you see how the President makes political or policy decisions, you see who he is. The essence of the Presidency is decision-making."
"For almost twenty years, abortion policy in America has been controlled by the courts."
"The American foreign policy trauma of the sixties and seventies was caused by applying valid principles to unsuitable conditions."
"The Democrats have no actual policy proposals of their own unless constant carping counts as a policy."
"Without a good cultural policy, without adequate help, we will always have individualists, shooting stars who are rapidly forgotten or who stop painting for a more profitable occupation."
"Domestic inflation reflects domestic monetary policy."
"The extra curricular activity in which I was most engaged - debating - helped shape my interests in public policy."

"We live in a world of increasing dependence on electronic records and retrieval, unprecedented security and preservation concerns, and insufficient attention to civic and democratic education."
"In the Federal Government, electronic records are as indispensable as their paper counterparts for documenting citizens' rights, the actions for which officials are accountable, and the nation's history."
"Research promoted by NARA within a major coalition of Federal and private sector research partners has at last demonstrated that an Electronic Records Archives can be built."
"This awareness instills a fierce desire to protect that heritage and - in doing so - to educate Americans in the meaning and importance of our pivotal documents."
"The Archivist of the United States essentially works for the American people across partisan lines and not, regardless of which Administration nominates the person, for a particular President or political party."
"But we will lose the millions of records being created daily in a dizzying array of electronic forms unless we find a way to preserve and keep them accessible indefinitely."
"For the Archivist, this role is a result of his obligation to preserve and assure timely and maximum access to our governmental records in the evolving historic saga of the American people."
"Not only the Archivist alone but all who work for NARA are designated custodians of America's national memory."
"Thus, the Archivist must display at all times scrupulous independence and a devotion to the laws and principles which govern the responsibilities of the office."
"NARA must provide security at our facilities to protect our public patrons, our staff, and our holdings."
