 Mr. President, are we going to talk directly with the PLO, sir? Full of opportunity, sir. Take one, Sam will be there. Do you think the Arab countries will take the Palestinians or not? We're going to be talking about it. Maybe Syria will take some. He's very close. Let George do it. He just changed the floor. Yesterday and the last couple of days, it's just been awful. That was an indication when the heat is off to the CBN. Did you know that this morning I came in and I looked out the window? The President of the United States. Thank you very much. I think before I say anything, some thanks are in order. First, I would like to congratulate the members of the Congress whose hard work has resulted in passage of the Small Business Innovation and Development Act, and particularly Senators Weicker and Rudman and Congressman Mitchell and McCade for their work. And of course the Small Business Community itself should be complimented for a job well done. As you know, last March I submitted the Congress the first annual report on the state of small business. In that report, I reiterated my support for the bill that's about to be made law. Now you just think about that. There's a government report whose recommendations are actually being followed. So I'm very happy to put my John Hancock on this legislation today. I might even sign my own name. Our nation is blessed with two important qualities that are often missing in other societies, our spirit of entrepreneurship and our capacity for invention and innovation. These two elements are combined in the small businesses that dot our land and as we meet here today, there's some fellow or gal in a research park or a garage inventing something that will make our future healthier or more productive or more comfortable. I believe the bill recognizes the contributions of small high technology firms to the nation's growth, productivity and competitiveness. The innovation and productivity of small businesses are well documented and known to all of us. I need not report the overwhelming statistics. So many of the statistics I see in this job are less than upbeat, but I'm always encouraged when I read what small businesses are doing for America. Small business is a tonic for what ails this country. By passing and signing this act, we're showing our resolve to unleash this most innovative sector. The Small Business Innovation Development Act recognizes that we in government must work in partnership with small businesses to ensure that technologies and processes are readily transferred to commercial applications. Now we face the difficult task of implementing this program in several agencies of the government. Let me assure you of this administration's strong commitment to this program. We will direct the rest of the government to cooperate fully and speedily putting it into effect. And now I'd better get to the business of signing that legislation and making it law.
