Statement on the Connecticut Presidential Primary Victory

March 24, 1992
    I want to thank the voters of Connecticut who made it clear today: 
The answer is less Government spending, not more taxes. As I announced 
on March 20, the line-item spending cuts I am sending to Congress will 
eliminate some unneeded weapons systems made in Connecticut. Cutting 
spending is a tough call, especially in a State where the economy is 
hurting. In spite of this, we won an impressive victory today from 
people who understand that being President of the United States 
sometimes means making difficult decisions.
