I am more determined than ever to press ahead with the Uruguay round by the end of this year.

Change has become the only constant of life.

We must resist them because the only way wealthy countries can grow richer is if there is global economic growth.

I hope we will have more trade, not less, more openness, more growth, and more jobs in both Japan and the United States.

I was able to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to the security relationship that exists between our two nations.

The United States has no more important bilateral relationship than our relationship with Japan.

I want to say how glad we are to be in Japan.

There is no more important relationship to the United States than our relationship with Japan.

The United States has no intention at this moment or in the future of weakening its security ties in the Pacific, not to Japan, not to South Korea.

We think it is in the interest of both countries for that to happen.

I come here with an outstretched hand and the hope that all of the ferment and change and political debate going on in Japan will be a very positive thing for your people and for our relationship.

I have invested a lot in both the change and the continuity because I think they are terribly important.

This is already a period of change in Japan, and I would hope that that would be viewed with hope and not with fear by the Japanese people.

Education was touted, as it always has been, as America's great equalizer.

America will change if somebody will tell the people the truth instead of giving them the same old pablum.

Every student ought to finish high school, every high school graduate ought to have at least 2 years of school-to-work transitional education and training.

The new economy is built on information and innovation.

I've honored myself and the entire family of man by becoming a teacher.
