        Families, businesses, and communities all across America know that
    recycling makes sense. It saves money and it protects the environment.
    It's time for the Government to set an example and provide real
    leadership that will help create jobs and protect the environment,
    encouraging new markets for recycled products and new technologies.

    Note: The President's statement was included in a White House
    announcement on the signing of the Executive order, which is listed in
    Appendix D at the end of this volume.
