# Prometheus Bound, and other poems/A Reed

A REED.
I.
I AM no trumpet, but a reed: No flattering breath shall from me lead A silver sound, a hollow sound! I will not ring, for priest or king, One blast that, in re-echoing, Would leave a bondsman faster bound.
II.
I am no trumpet, but a reed,— A broken reed, the wind indeed Left flat upon a dismal shore: Yet if a little maid, or child, Should sigh within it, earnest-mild, This reed will answer evermore.
III.
I am no trumpet, but a reed: Go, tell the fishers, as they spread Their nets along the river's edge,— I will not tear their nets at all, Nor pierce their hands—if they should fall: Then let them leave me in the sedge.

# Presidential Weekly Address - 12 June 2010

Weekly address delivered on 12 June 2010.
THE PRESIDENT: More than a decade ago, Congress set up a formula that governs how doctors get paid by the Medicare program. The intent was to slow the growth of Medicare costs, but the result was a formula that has proposed cutting payments for America’s doctors year after year after year. These are cuts that would not only jeopardize our physicians’ pay, but our seniors’ health care. Since 2003, Congress has acted to prevent these pay cuts from going into effect. These votes were largely bipartisan, and they succeeded when Democrats ran Congress and when Republicans ran Congress – which was most of the time.
This year, a majority of Congress is willing to prevent a pay cut of 21% -- a pay cut that would undoubtedly force some doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients altogether. But this time, some Senate Republicans may even block a vote on this issue. After years of voting to defer these cuts, the other party is now willing to walk away from the needs of our doctors and our seniors.
Now, I realize that simply kicking these cuts down the road another year is not a long-term solution to this problem. For years, I have said that a system where doctors are left to wonder if they’ll get fairly reimbursed makes absolutely no sense. And I am committed to permanently reforming this Medicare formula in a way that balances fiscal responsibility with the responsibility we have to doctors and seniors. In addition, we’re already taking significant steps to slow the growth of Medicare costs through health insurance reform, not by targeting doctors and seniors, but by eliminating 50% of the waste, fraud, and abuse in the system by 2012. This not only strengthens Medicare, it saves taxpayer dollars.
I’m absolutely willing to take the difficult steps necessary to lower the cost of Medicare and put our budget on a more fiscally sustainable path. But I’m not willing to do that by punishing hard-working physicians or the millions of Americans who count on Medicare. That’s just wrong. And that’s why in the short-term, Congress must act to prevent this pay cut to doctors. If they don’t act, doctors will see a 21% cut in their Medicare payments this week. This week, doctors will start receiving these lower reimbursements from the Medicare program. That could lead them to stop participating in the Medicare program. And that could lead seniors to lose their doctors.
We cannot allow this to happen. We have to fix this problem so that our doctors can get paid for the life-saving services they provide and keep their doors open. We have to fix this problem to keep the promise of Medicare for our seniors so that they get the health care they deserve. So I urge Republicans in the Senate to at least allow a majority of Senators and Congressmen to stop this pay cut. I urge them to stand with America’s seniors and America’s doctors.
Thanks.

# Presidential Weekly Address - 12 November 2016

Weekly address delivered on [12 November 2016].
THE PRESIDENT: Hi, everybody. This weekend, as we search for ways to bridge our differences, we look to the principles that are more enduring than politics. And some of the best examples are found in the men and women we saluted yesterday, and every day – our troops and veterans.
It is the example of young Americans – our 9/11 Generation – who, as first responders ran into smoldering towers, ran to a recruiting center and signed up to serve.
It is the example of a military that meets every mission, one united team, all looking out for one another, all getting each other’s backs.
It is the example of the single most diverse institution in our country – soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and coastguardsmen who represent every corner of our country, every shade of humanity, immigrant and native-born, Christian, Muslim, Jew, and nonbeliever alike, all forged into common service.
It is the example of veterans – patriots – who, when they take off their fatigues, put back on the camouflage of everyday life in America; who become our business partners and bosses, our teachers and coaches, our first responders and city council members and neighborhood role models, all still serving this country we love with the same sense of duty and valor.
Our veterans don’t always go around telling stories of their heroism. So it is up to us to ask, to listen, to tell those stories for them, and to live in our own lives the values for which they were prepared to give theirs. It’s up to us to summon some of the courage and humility our veterans show, and to acknowledge that we can never serve them in quite the same they serve us.
But we can try. We need to keep working to make sure they always get the care and benefits they’ve earned. We can practice kindness. We can volunteer, serve, and respect one another. We can always get each other’s backs. And we can show how much we love our country by loving our neighbors as ourselves.
To all of you who served and who still do: thank you. And have a great weekend, everybody.

# Presidential Weekly Address - 12 January 2013

Weekly address delivered on 12 January 2013.
THE PRESIDENT: Hi, everybody. This week, I welcomed President Hamid Karzai to the White House to discuss the way ahead in Afghanistan. And today, I want to update you on how we will end this war, bring our troops home, and continue the work of rebuilding America. Over the past four years, thanks to our brave men and women in uniform, we’ve dealt devastating blows to al-Qaeda. We’ve pushed the Taliban out of their strongholds. And our core objective – the reason we went to war in the first place – is now within reach: ensuring that al-Qaeda can never again use Afghanistan to launch attacks against America.
The 33,000 additional forces that I ordered to Afghanistan served with honor, completed their mission, and, as promised, returned home last fall. This week, we agreed that this spring, Afghan forces will take the lead for security across the entire country, and our troops will shift to a support role. In the coming months, I’ll announce the next phase of our drawdown. And by the end of next year, America’s war in Afghanistan will be over. This progress has only been possible because of the heroic sacrifices of our troops and diplomats, alongside forces from many other nations. More than a half million Americans – military and civilian – have served in Afghanistan. Thousands have been wounded. More than 2,000 have given their lives.
This remains a very difficult mission. The work ahead will not be easy. Our forces are still in harm’s way. But make no mistake – our path is clear, and we are moving forward. Because after more than a decade of war, the nation we need to rebuild is our own. As we do, we have to care for our troops and veterans who fought in our name. We have to grow our economy and shrink our deficits. Create new jobs and boost family incomes. We have to fix our infrastructure and our immigration system. We have to protect our planet from the destructive effects of climate change, and protect our children from the horrors of gun violence.
These, too, will be difficult missions for America. But they must be met. And if we can summon just a fraction of the determination of our men and women in uniform, I know we can meet them. And I intend to work as hard as I know how to make sure we do. Thank you.

# Presidential Weekly Address - 12 March 2016

Weekly address delivered on [12 March 2016].
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. This past week, we lost an American icon and one of the most influential figures of her time – former First Lady Nancy Reagan.
Born in New York City, and raised mostly in Chicago, Nancy Davis graduated from Smith College in 1943. As an actress, she appeared in eleven films. And off-screen, she starred in a real-life Hollywood romance with the love of her life, Ronald Reagan, whom she married in 1952.
As President, I know just how important it is to have a strong life partner, and President Reagan was as lucky as I am. Nancy Reagan redefined the role of First Lady of the United States. In addition to serving as a trusted advisor to her husband, and an elegant hostess for our nation, she was a passionate advocate for issues that touched the lives of so many. She raised awareness about drug and alcohol abuse. She was a staunch supporter of America’s veterans. And after her own battle with breast cancer and a mastectomy, she spoke in personal terms about the need for women to get mammograms.
The American people were deeply moved by the love Nancy felt for her husband. And we were inspired by how, in their long goodbye, Nancy became a voice on behalf of millions of families experiencing the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer’s disease. She brought her characteristic intelligence and focus to the twin causes of stem cell research and Alzheimer’s research. And when I signed an order to resume federal stem cell research, I was proud that she was one of the first phone calls I made. Nobody understood better than Nancy Reagan the importance of pursuing treatments that hold the potential and the promise to improve and save lives.
That’s why, last year, my administration announced the Precision Medicine Initiative to advance our ability to tailor health care and treat diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s by accounting for individual differences in people’s genes, environments, and lifestyles. Last month, we took new actions to foster more collaboration between researchers, doctors, patients, data systems, and beyond to accelerate precision medicine. And more than 40 organizations stepped up with new commitments in this cutting-edge field. We’ve also launched the BRAIN initiative to revolutionize our understanding of how the human brain works.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of people like Nancy Reagan, I’ve never been more optimistic that we are getting closer to the day when every single patient can get the care they need and deserve. I’ve never been more optimistic that we will one day find a cure for devastating diseases like Alzheimer’s. And I can think of no better way to honor our former First Lady’s legacy than by working together, as one nation, toward that goal.
Thanks, everybody.

Vaslet.
Louis Vaslet seems, according to his gravestone at Fulham, to have come over to England at the epoch of the Revocation, being then in his twentieth year, and a well educated young man. He is described as Gallus gente, Anglus lege atque animo — a Frenchman by birth, but a naturalized and loyal Englishman. He devoted himself to the teaching profession, perhaps as a schoolmaster, but more probably as a private tutor. Many young English gentlemen were educated by refugee tutors, and were not only taught the French language grammatically, but also learned some other branches from text-books composed in French. Mr. Vaslet spent forty-five years in this serviceable work. London was probably his head-quarters, and it seems to have been only a year or two before his death that he became resident at Fulham, his wife and son dying soon after the change of residence. He died a year after his wife, on 12th June 1731, aged sixty-five, and was buried at Fulham. He had been twice married. His first wife was Mary, daughter of Claud Barachin; she died in London, 10th January 1705 (n.s.), and was buried in the churchyard of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. His second wife was Catharine, daughter of Charles Testard; by her he had a son, Testard Louis Vaslet, who died 21st March 1731 (n.s.), aged twenty-five, and was laid in the grave beside his mother, who had died 29th April 1730, aged fifty-six. Mr. Vaslet left a daughter, Catharine, who was twice married, 1st, to Mr. John Noades; 2dly, to Oliver Edwards, Esq., as whose widow she was buried beside her parents. Owing to some mistake, either of the draughtsman or of the mason employed to execute the epitaph, I cannot state either the year of her death or her age.
Perhaps our Louis Vaslet was the translator, editor, and part-author of a book of 300 pages on Roman Antiquities. The learned Cellarius had at his death left in manuscript a Latin book on that subject, which was printed at London in 1711. This work Mr. Vaslet. translated into French, with enlargements bringing it up to date. The title was, “Introduction à la connoissance des Antiquitez Romanics, traduite en partie d’un petit ouvrage latin de Cellarius et en partie tirée des meilleurs auteurs anciens et modernes. Par Louis Vaslet. A la Haye, Chez les frères Vaillant, et N. Prevost. 1723.”
It was common for refugee authors to print their books in Holland — a country where their language was so highly appreciated, and in which several generations of learned printers had resided. It therefore is not improbable that the above is the work of our Louis Vaslet.

Pynyot de la Largère.
Messire Samuel Pynyot, escuyer, Sieur de la Largère, was a noble refugee whose name I observe in the Register of Le Temple, London, on 7th August 1690. His wife’s maiden name was Henriette Marie Chataguer. On the evening of that day their son Henry was baptized, being presented by Messire Henry Massue De Ruvigny.
He signed his Will at London, 11th April 1699, in presence of Lewis Barrand de La Noue, Lewis Poyrand, and Lewis Duplessy. The will was proved on the 2Sth June following, by Renatus Poyrand, Sieur Desclouseaux, the executor. The testator styles himself “a gentleman of Poitou, refugeed for the cause of the gospel.” His directions are addressed to his wife, Mary Henrietta Chataygner (or Chatagner), Lady de la Largère. “First, I pray her, after God hath taken my soul to Him, to cause my body to be interred, without any funeral pomp, which I prohibit and forbid, but with the most ordinary manner that may be such as ’tis convenient for a Christian refugeed for the cause of the Gospel, which I always professed through the grace of God.” “She shall take care like a good mother of my three children which are here now, and give them share of my property, equally as much as she can, as well for their subsistence, as of the principal that may be remaining to her at the time of her decease. And in case God should grant grace to my children who are in France, or to one of them, to depart from thence to come in these countries for to give glory to God, and not otherwise, my will and mind is that whatsoever they may bring be joined to what may remain to my wife, for to be shared by equal portion between all my children who shall be found refugeed for the cause of the Gospel.” (This, like the larger number of the refugees’wills, is translated from the French by John James Benard, N.P.)
Henry Pynyot de la Largère was about nine years old when his father died, and his godfather, Lord Galway, seems to have allowed him £20 per annum. This was the annuity that he left him in 1720, “if he shall not have attained the age of 25”; [his age was 30].
From an article in La France Protestante, I conjecture that the Cramahé and De la Largère families were related. The following is the Messieurs Haag’s account, condensed into small space:— “Cramahé was the surname of a noble Protestant family of La Rochelle. In 1685, there were three brothers, Cramahé, De l’Isle, and Des Roches. The first reached England in 1685, and the second soon after. The third was apprehended in France, was imprisoned for twenty-seven months, and then banished. In 1743, the Cramahé estate was possessed by Pinyot de la Largère.”
# Proclamation 6658

Delivered on 23 March 1994.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
America's success in the years to come requires a national commitment to providing excellence in education. Our ability to seize the opportunities before us depends on the strength of our scholarship. We must build an educational system that offers our country's vast promise to every citizen. Only when we know that all of our students are receiving the best care and training possible can we say that we are prepared for the challenges of the future.
New innovations in teaching methods and curricula, combined with traditional lessons of ethics and morality, afford students a comprehensive education that will serve them well their entire lives. By sharing our experiences and our beliefs with the next generation of Americans, we can prepare our Nation for the awesome responsibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Lubavitch movement, has contributed a great deal to this important endeavor, advancing the ideals of sharing and education over the course of his long and rich life. As Rabbi Schneerson celebrates his 92nd birthday, it is fitting and appropriate that the people of the United States honor his gifts to education and rededicate themselves to the teaching of ethics and morality.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 23, 1994, as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon the people of the United States, Government officials, educators, and volunteers to observe the day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.
William J. Clinton
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 2:40 p.m., March 24, 1994]
