These businesses have been hit especially hard by the recession and by a problem not of their own making that can be summarized by two fearsome but now well-worn words: credit crunch.

We know that if we create a reliable and secure system of credit for America's small businesses, they'll create jobs for Americans and profits for themselves.

This action that this administration is taking today should take a big chunk out of that wall.

We cannot afford not to try to resume this trend in the 1990's.

We haven't worked out the details on how it's going to be done.

I understand a little.

I learned a lot today.

Failure to continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of United States non-proliferation objectives.

I support last year's agreement.

We want to get acquainted and talk about some matters of mutual concerns.

No, we had a great meeting.

I am very, very hopeful that the United States and France can be partners in updating our common interests.

I believe the United States has an obligation to try to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

I think it is entirely possible that such a meeting might be useful.

I restated the position of the administration, which is now well-known in the public, that we were opposed to the introduction of American ground forces.

I believe, under all the scenarios I have seen that I think are possible, we would see immediate savings in the private sector if we were to adopt a comprehensive health care reform package.

I think that eventually all the committees will get together, and the two bodies will get together, and we will work out a budget that the American people can be proud of.

I look forward to being one again someday.
