The President's Radio Address
January 26, 2002
Good morning. A few days from now I will go before Congress to
report on the State of the Union and lay out my priorities for the
coming year and beyond. These priorities reflect a single, overarching
commitment to enhance the security of America and its people.
Government's responsibilities begin with the defense of our Nation.
Our fight against terrorism began in Afghanistan, but it will not end
there. America must not rest until every terrorist group of global reach
has been found, stopped, and defeated. In this work, our military must
have every resource, every weapon needed to achieve full and final
victory.
My budget calls for the largest increase in defense spending in the
last 20 years, investing in more precision weapons, missile defenses,
unmanned vehicles, and high-tech equipment for our soldiers on the
ground. I will also seek another pay increase for the men and women who
wear our country's uniform. We will spend what it takes to win the war
against terrorism.
A related priority is homeland security. We will pursue a sustained
strategy to protect our people from the threat of terrorism. The Federal
Government has already acted to increase airport security, investigate
terrorist activity, and improve our response capability. In the next
budget, we will do even more. I'll be calling on Congress to nearly
double funding for homeland defense to $38 billion. We will complete the
hiring of tens of thousands of new Federal airport security workers. We
will strengthen the border patrol, hire another 300 FBI agents to help
fight the war on terror. We'll provide more money so that State and
local firefighters, police officers, and EMTs have the equipment they
need. The American people are on watch against future attacks, and their
Government will be, as well.
The third key of my budget is to fight the recession and build
economic security for the American people. Government doesn't create
jobs, but it can encourage an environment in which jobs are created. I'm
glad the Senate is finally moving forward, and I urge it to pass a
strong stimulus bill like one that passed the House last year.
Every budget reflects fundamental choices, and my administration has
made choices to fit the times. We'll work to create jobs and renew the
strength of our economy. We'll protect our people in every way
necessary, and we will carry on the campaign against global terror until
we achieve our goal, the peace that comes from victory.
Thank you for listening.
