We have to make the choices that have served America well.

I have determined that Argentina fails to provide adequate and effective means under its laws for foreign nationals to secure, to exercise, and to enforce exclusive rights in intellectual property.

This new policy will assure that Federal employees can schedule and receive up to 24 hours away from the job each year for these family and medical circumstances.

We must also continue to open opportunities in the world's newest market economies.

Women deserve to be rewarded on an equal basis for their contributions to the American work force.

These will not be make-work jobs.

The Federal Government, after all, is a large employer in the United States.

We can elevate our most fundamental values of family and work and responsibility and make welfare reform work.

Nearly everybody on welfare wants to get off, wants to be self-supporting, wants to be an independent member of society.

Everybody pays in life.

If we didn't do anything, about 4 in 10 people on welfare would continue to be on a while, get the help they need, get right off, and go on with their lives.

It is proof positive of the know-how and can-do spirit of America's most valuable asset—the American work force.

But the truth is, we must all be the constituency of the future.

Today marks a major milestone in the defense of our nation.
