The law applies throughout California. It protects many renters in California, but not all. The just cause protections apply to renters who live in certain types of housing once they have lived in the housing for 12 months. If any adult tenant moves into the rental housing before you have lived there for 12 months, the just cause protections do not apply until you have lived there for 24 months or all adult tenants have lived in the rental housing for 12 months, whichever comes first.

Remarks by the President at Republican Governors Association Fall ReceptionNational Building Museum 6:53 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all very much. John, thank youvery much. I appreciate the invitation to get out of the house.(Laughter.) I'm honored to come to thank you all for supporting ourgovernors. I love our governors. I know them well. I was one. (Laughter.)And these are fine, fine public servants who bring a lot of class anddignity to the office they hold. They put results ahead of process.These are people who put success ahead of excessive verbiage. They'reon the front lines of reform. They care deeply about our country. I'mhonored to be in their presence. And I want to thank you forsupporting their reelections. (Applause.) Governors get things done. And governors can make a tremendousdifference in people's lives. I knew that when I started forming myCabinet. I knew that I needed to surround myself with people who notonly would bring honor to the office to which I appointed them, butalso would work hard to get something done for the country. And that'swhy I named John Ashcroft, former governor; Christie Todd Whitman,former governor; Tommy Thompson, former governor; and Tom Ridge, formergovernor, to serve our country. (Applause.) I want to thank Johnny Rowland for his leadership of the RepublicanGovernors Association, and for his fine leadership for the state ofConnecticut. (Applause.) He got one peep. (Laughter.) Bill Owens isthe Vice Chairman, from the great state of Colorado, and I appreciatehis leadership, as well. (Applause.) I want to thank all the First Ladies who are here. First Ladiesreally define the governor -- or First Gentlemen -- define thegovernor. (Laughter.) Just like our great First Lady has helped me alot and defined me as a person. You know, people get to know a lot --(applause) -- you can judge the nature of a man, in my case, by theperson he marries. And I married above myself. (Laughter.) Peoplehave gotten to know Laura. They now understand why I asked her tomarry me. Lot of folks are still wondering why she said yes.(Laughter.) She sends her love to our governors and their wives. Shesends her appreciation to you. And I can't tell you how proud I am ofthe job she's doing for America. (Applause.) I appreciate these governors being on the front line of makingAmerica a stronger place, a safer place, and a better place for allcitizens -- regardless of their party affiliation, regardless of wherethey live. That's the spirit of these can-do people. And that's a job we all have in America, to make America a safer,stronger, and better place. And to make sure America is a strongplace, we need to continue to work to make sure our fellow citizens canfind work. A strong America is an America in which people who want towork and can't find a job are able to do so. A strong America is anAmerica that recognizes the vibrancy of the entrepreneur in America. Astrong America understands the role of government is not to createwealth, but an environment in which the small business owner can growhis or her business. A strong America is one that recognizes that in times of recession-- and I want you all to remember that when Dick Cheney and I got swornin, the country was in a recession -- and a strong economy, a strongAmerica, is one that recognizes that the engine to growth is theAmerican people. And so when we let American people keep more of theirown money, we sent a clear, strong signal to economic vitality. Some up here don't get it, see. They forget whose money we'retalking about. They think we're talking about the government's money.One thing we all understand is when it comes to tax money, it's yourmoney. And the tax cuts we passed in Washington came at the righttime. (Applause.) And that's just one of the first things we havedone here to make sure our economies grow, to make sure people can findwork. I was the first President in a long time to get what they calltrade promotion authority. My attitude is, if you're good atsomething, you ought to promote it. (Laughter.) We're good at growingcrops, we're good at raising cattle, we're good at the entrepreneurialspirit, we're good at high-tech. We ought not to fear trade; we oughtto welcome trade. And for the sake of jobs, I got the Congress to passthe trade promotion authority, so our people would be more likely tofind work. (Applause.) For the sake of economic vitality, we sent a chilling signal to ourfellow Americans who feel like they can fudge the books, who feel likethey can get ahead by not telling the truth. Every one of thesegovernors understands the need for corporate responsibility in theirstates and all across America. I proudly signed the most comprehensivecorporate reform since Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President of theUnited States. And for the sake of a stronger America, we sent thissignal: No more easy money, just hard time, if you betray the trust ofyour employees and your shareholders in America. (Applause.) Now, we've got a foundation for economic vitality and growth thatis strong. Interest rates are low, inflation is low. The productivityof the American worker is the best in the world. But we're not goingto rest until people find work. A stronger America requires a strongeconomy. And there are some things that Congress can do to help us inour desire to make America a stronger place. And I'll give you one example. There are over 300,000 jobs thatdon't exist because many developers and project managers cannot findterrorism insurance. The Congress ought to pass a law that provides abackstop for terrorism insurance, to get our hard-hats working again.And by the way, it needs to be a law that does not reward triallawyers, but rewards the hard-hats of America. (Applause.) We need an energy bill in America -- an energy bill that fostersmore conservation, an energy bill that enhances renewables likeethanol, but an energy bill that makes us less dependent on foreignsources of crude oil. An energy bill is needed. There's too much talkin Washington, and not enough action. (Applause.) And finally, to make this economy strong, to make sure people canfind work, we've got to make sure Congress holds the line on spending.There's an enormous appetite for spending your money up here. Everyproject sounds wonderful in Washington, D.C. Problem is, is that theprice tags run in the billions. It is important for Congress to setpriorities. It's hard to set priorities, however, when the Senate can't evenpass a budget. The House passed a budget. The Senate can't pass abudget. My message to Congress, and I hope you help send the message,is we expect the appropriators to be wise with the people's money. Weexpect them to stay focused on national priorities. We expect them notto overspend. We expect them to be reasonable and sound. Because ifwe overspend, it will make it harder for people to find work. No, the grounds for economic growth are strong. After all, this isAmerica. There's a lot of problems that we can overcome. But I justwant to assure you, and I want to assure my friends who are thegovernors, this administration will not rest, we will stay focused oneconomic vitality, because we understand a strong America is an Americain which people can find work. (Applause.) And we're working hard here in Washington, and we're working hardwith our governors to make sure we have a safer America. We need towork hard because there's still an enemy out there which hates ourcountry. They hate America. They hate us because we love. We lovefreedom. We love the idea of our fellow citizens being able to worshipand almighty Gad any way he or she sees fit. We love the idea ofwelcoming people to our country and letting them rise to their ownlevel that talents will take them. We love the idea of being able tospeak our minds, to have political discourse. We love a free press.We love freedom. But the enemy hates freedom. We also value each life in America.Everybody counts. Everybody has got worth. Everybody matters. Butthat's not the way our enemy thinks. They don't value life. Theydon't care about innocent life. And so long as we hold these valuesdear, which we will do, there will be an enemy trying to hurt America. And so, therefore, my most important job is to protect the Americanpeople from further harm, is to guard our homeland. You need to know alot of good folks are working hard to just that. I can testify forthose here in the federal government that are spending hours upon hourschasing down every lead, running down every hint. We get a whiff ofanything that might be happening or going to happen to America, we'removing on it -- and at the same time, I can proudly report,safeguarding the United States Constitution. (Applause.) And so are these governors. They're working hard to protect theirfellow citizens. They're working hard at the state level, and workingin coordination at the local level, to prepare, to be ready, to be onalert. And I want to thank them for their service to our country. I asked Congress to work with me to make a -- to make thegovernment work better. I readily concede my slogan wasn't, don't --vote for me, I'm going to make government bigger. But I do want tomake it work better. And that's why I called upon our Congress to setup a department of homeland defense, so we can better coordinateamongst agencies; so we can have the protection of our homeland as ournumber one priority; so, if need be, we can change cultures so thatthis President and administration, and future Presidents andadministrations, can say to the American people, we're doing everythingin our power to protect you. And we're making some progress. Republicans and Democrats cametogether in the House of Representatives to pass a good homelandsecurity bill. We're kind of bogged down in the Senate, however. Yousee, the Senate wants to take away some of the powers of theadministrative branch. The Senate wants to micromanage the process.And I'm not going to let them do it. For the sake of homeland security, the Senate -- (applause.) Forthe sake of the security of our homeland, the Senate needs to be moreworried about the American people, and less worried about specialinterest here in Washington, D.C. (Applause.) But the best way to secure our homeland is to chase the killersdown, one person at a time, and bring them to justice, which is exactlywhat the United States is going to do. (Applause.) It's a differentkind of war. It's a war that is not measured by the destruction oftanks, or ships, or aircraft, because we're fighting a different kindof enemy. This is a war that is measured in terms of killers caught. We're making progress, thanks to a coalition we have put together.And we're making progress thanks to one of the finest militaries ournation has ever seen. (Applause.) AUDIENCE MEMBER: Thanks to our Commander-in-Chief! (Applause.) THE PRESIDENT: This is an enemy which hides in caves, or in thedark corners of cities, and then sends youngsters to their suicidaldeath. It's a different kind of enemy and a different kind of war.But our resolve is just as fierce today as it has been in the past.And we're making progress, we're making progress. I don't have anexact count, but the number of those who the United States and ourcoalition partners have arrested, detained, whatever you want to callit, is over a couple thousand. And about a like number weren't aslucky; they're just not around anymore. We got a guy the other day, just as an example, thought he couldhide in Pakistan. I don't know if you remember that doctrine I laidout; said, either you're with us or you're with the enemy. PresidentMusharraf in Pakistan is with us when it comes to hunting these killersdown. (Applause.) The person who thought he'd be the 20th hijacker,Binalshibh, is no longer a threat to the United States of America andour friends and allies. (Applause.) Oh, I know for some who are trying to fill the airways withspeculation and noise and news and all that stuff, it's not a veryglamorous war. But you've just got to know, this nation is steady inour pursuit. We're strong in our resolve. No matter how long ittakes, we're going to hunt them down, one person at a time. We'regoing to get them on the run, and we're going to keep them on the run,until we bring them to justice. (Applause.) I have submitted the largest increase in defense spending sinceRonald Reagan was the President. I sent that up to the Congress fortwo reasons. One, any time this nation sends our troops into harm'sway, any time we ask our youngsters to go into the thin air of themountains of Afghanistan or anywhere else in harm's way, they deservethe best pay, the best training, and the best possible equipment. Wenot only owe it to their -- to the soldiers, we owe it to their lovedones, as well. (Applause.) And a defense bill sends another message. It sends a clear messageto our friends and to our foe that the United States is in this for thelong pull. There's not an artificial quitting date. There's not amoment that says, you know, well, we've been at it for a period oftime, we're getting kind of worn out, and freedom isn't thatimportant. The message is that no matter how long it takes, and nomatter what the cost, we will defend the freedoms of the United Statesof America. (Applause.) The House passed a defense bill. The Senate passed the defensebill. The way the process works is they're supposed to get together,reconcile their differences, and get me a defense bill. Itlanguishes. It languishes. This Congress must do its duty and get mea defense bill before it goes home. For the sake of our country, forthe sake of this war, for the sake of the military, I need a defenseappropriations bill. (Applause.) Now, we've got a big task ahead. See, history has put thespotlight on us. History will determine whether or not this nation wasstrong and resolved in our defense of freedom. History will determinewhether or not we uphold our values, the values that say we not onlycare for individuals here at home, but everybody matters. So far Ithink history is going to judge us well. I want you to remember that when it came time to uphold thedoctrine that said, if you harbor a terrorist, if you feed a terrorist,if you house a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorist, weupheld that doctrine. And in so doing -- (applause.) And in sodoing, we freed a group of people from the clutches of one of the mostbarbaric regimes in the history of mankind. I want you to tell yourchildren when they ask about this war that our country went intoAfghanistan not to conquer anybody, but to liberate people. And as aresult of the United States and our friends and allies, many younggirls now go to school for the first time. No, this might nation -- (applause) -- this mighty nationbelieves that everybody matters. Each person has worth. Everybodycounts, regardless of where they are from. And we're going to havetough times ahead of us, no question about it, as we pursue our goals.There's going to be some rocky paths that we're going to have to climbup. There's going to be some high hurdles we have to cross. One of the highest hurdles is to recognize that as a nation we'reno longer protected by two vast oceans. No longer are we safe. Weused to think, well, there's a little conflict going over there, orperhaps a leader over here who is a despicable person couldn't hurtus. We learned a new lesson after September the 11th, that we'revulnerable. For the sake of our security, we must not allow -- forthe sake of the future of our country and for the future of otherregions in the world, we must never allow the world's worst leaders todevelop, to deploy, to blackmail the free world, with the world's worstweapons. (Applause.) I believe it is important that there be an internationalorganization that is strong and vibrant, and capable of helpingfreedom-loving countries keep the peace. You see, if the enemy hidesin caves, and a different kind of enemy, different kind of war, we needa collection of friends sharing intelligence, cutting off money,routing these people out. So I went to the United Nations. And I madeit clear to the United Nations that our nation hopes that the UnitedNations succeeds. We want there to be a strong United Nations. Wewant the United Nations to be more than a debating society. We don'twant the United Nations to become the League of Nations. We want theUnited Nations to have backbone and to enforce -- enforce theresolutions and doctrines and mandates. (Applause.) I also made it clear, for the sake of peace, for the sake offreedom for our country, if the United Nations will not act, the UnitedStates and our friends will. We owe it to our children, we owe it toour grandchildren to make sure that the dictator in Iraq neverthreatens our country, or our children, or our children's children withthe world's worst weapons. (Applause.) As we work to make our country stronger and safer, we also mustnever forget to work to make it better. That's why I'm so strong forthese governors -- they understand that. I signed one of the mostcomprehensive education reform bills in our nation's history. It says,we expect there to be high standards in American schools. We want tochallenge the soft bigotry of low expectations. I believe -- andthese fine governors believe -- that every child in America canlearn. Everybody can learn. And therefore, we expect everybody tolearn. (Applause.) If you believe everybody can learn, then you should expecteverybody to learn. Inherent in that bill is my great trust for thegovernors of the United States and for local folks. I strongly believein local control of schools. But I also believe in this -- that ifyou take federal money, if you receive a dime of federal money, you oweit to the taxpayers to show us whether or not the children are learningto read and write and add and subtract. And if they are, there will beplenty of praise for our nation's teachers. But if not, we must notallow our children to be trapped in schools which will not teach andwill not change. (Applause.) A better tomorrow recognizes that when it comes to reformingwelfare we must insist upon work. People find dignity in a job. Ilook forward to working with our governors to make sure we continue thegreat progress of welfare reform by helping people help themselves, byhelping people find job training so that instead of being dependentupon government, they can find a job and be dependent upon their skillsand their talents to provide for their families. A better tomorrow recognizes the great power of our faith-basedinstitutions in America. A better tomorrow recognizes that in ourchurches, in synagogues and mosques, we find great compassion andlove. We understand that government can hand out money, but whatgovernment cannot do -- and by the way, we do a pretty good job of itup here -- but what government cannot do is put hope in people'shearts, or a sense of purpose in people's lives. That's found in --all across America. It's found particularly in places that existbecause of the universal dictum that people should love their neighborsjust like they should be loved themselves. (Applause.) You know, the enemy hit us, the enemy hit us, and they didn't knowwho they were hitting. Oh, they probably thought that after Septemberthe 11th, 2001, we'd kind of regroup and file a lawsuit or two.(Laughter.) They didn't realize that this bold country is a greatcountry, full of decent and compassionate people. I want you to knowthat out of the evil done to America is going to come great good.Around the world, if we remain tough and strong, we can achieve peace.If we're willing to speak clearly about good and evil, if we continueto denounce terror, if we understand the plight of the human condition,which we do in America -- that people must have hope, that everybodymatters, that freedom counts -- we can achieve peace in this world. Oh, you'll hear a lot of war rhetoric. But I want you to know, mygoal is peace. I long for peace. And I believe out of the evil doneto America can come peace in places around the world that have quit onpeace, including the Middle East and South Asia. (Applause.) I alsowant you to know -- I want you to know that we will be a betterAmerica, too. Because the strength of the country lies in the heartsand souls of our fellow citizens. People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can Ifight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into ashut-in's house and say I love you; by running a Boy Scout troop or aGirl Scout troop; by being involved in your Boys and Girls Clubs; byjoining the USA Freedom Corps. If you're interested in helping Americafight evil, love your neighbor just like you'd like to be lovedyourself. An educated America, a working America, an America that understandsthe power of our faith-based and charitable organizations is an Americathat is going to be a better America. There is no question in my mindthat out of the evil done to this country, that we will be able to helperadicate those pockets of despair and hopelessness which exist. Inour land of plenty, there are people who hurt, people who cry, peoplewho wonder whether or not the American Dream is meant for them. Andthis society of ours, this society of ours is going to change, oneheart, one soul, one conscience at a time, because thousands of ourfellow citizens are loving a neighbor just like they'd like to be lovedthemselves. (Applause.) People understand in America now that a patriot is somebody who notonly puts his hand over his heart and says, "I pledge allegiance" toone nation under God, but somebody who serves something greater thanthemselves. See, that was the example of Flight 93, an example which is vividin my mind, and I'm sure vivid in yours. It's an historic moment inmany ways, a sad, tragic moment. On the other hand, it's a moment thatI hope people remember for a long time. After all, it was a flight fullof our fellow citizens. They learned that the plane they were on wasgoing to be used as a weapon. They told their loved ones good-bye, or,I love you. They said a prayer. One guy said, "Let's roll." Theydrove the plane into the ground to serve something greater thanthemselves in life. No, the spirit of America was alive on that airplane. The spiritof America is alive today. No, out of the evil done to this greatcountry is going to come a more compassionate, a more decent, a morehopeful country. There's no doubt in my mind that we can achieve thebig goals before us, because this is the finest country on the face ofthe Earth, full of the finest people. May God bless you all, and may God bless America. (Applause.)Thank you all. (Applause.) END 7:22 P.M. EDT Printer-Friendly Version Email this page to a friend IssuesBudget Management
