This tragic loss of life was unnecessary.

This middle class bill of rights will further the agenda of this administration and, more importantly, our common mission as Americans: to expand middle class incomes and opportunities.

With all the challenges we face today, ours is still the greatest country in the world.

If we can't change that, we're at risk of losing our great American middle class and of becoming a two-tiered society with a few successful people at the top and everyone else struggling below.

Our people face greater challenges than ever to get ahead.

Transcript of a press briefing by Labor Secretary Bob Reich, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen, Education Secretary Richard Riley, and Chief of Staff Leon Panetta on the middle class bill of rights.

The White House announced the President has invited President Zhelyu Zhelev of Bulgaria to meet with him in Washington, DC, on February 13, 1995.

Warm greetings to Americans everywhere during this joyous Christmas season.

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1994, as Wright Brothers Day.

I hereby delegate to the Governors of the United States Postal Service any authority vested in me by section 407(a) of title 39 of the United States Code.

It is hereby determined that the Secretary of Defense shall assist the Attorney General under section 501(c) of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980.

I ran for President to restore the American dream and to prepare the American people to compete and win in the new American economy.

Fifty years ago an American President proposed the GI bill of rights to help returning veterans from World War II go to college, buy a home, and raise their children.

I won't support ideas that sound good but aren't paid for.

The Secretary of Defense may agree to expand the range of services and category of individuals as he determines.

By a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963, has designated December 17 of each year as 'Wright Brothers Day'.

Just as we made mortgage interest tax deductible because we want people to own homes, we should make college tuition deductible because we want people to go to college.

As we rejoice in the miracle of Christmas, we reflect on the Holy Family and draw strength from their example of faith.
