This paper discusses tachyon condensate perturbations to the action of the two-dimensional string theory corresponding to the c + 1 matrix model. These are shown to deform the action of the ground ring on the tachyon modules, confirming a conjecture of Witten. The ground ring structure is used to derive recursion relations which relate (N + 1) and N tachyon bulk scattering amplitudes. These recursion relations allow one to compute all bulk amplitudes.
