This ancient annual festival unites people of Vietnamese heritage across America and around the globe in an exuberant celebration of hope and new beginnings.

I am very proud that this new legislation includes the V-chip.

Let us rejoice together in this season of renewal and resolve to work for a future of harmony and prosperity for us all.

This law also recognizes that with freedom comes responsibility.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 will strengthen our economy, our society, our families, and our democracy.

It is in the national interest of the United States to waive the restrictions contained in that Act on the export to the People's Republic of China of U.S.-origin satellites insofar as such restrictions pertain to the CHINASAT project.

I believe that more of our people will be able to live out their own dreams than ever before.

Our challenge is to figure out how to set and keep in motion all these wonderful changes and shape them in a way that makes the American dream available to everybody again.
