The Partnership for Peace provides a dynamic instrument for transforming former adversaries into lasting partners and for consolidating, strengthening, and extending peace for generations to come.

You have my thanks for your valuable service to the nation.

The adoption of the Partnership for Peace initiative at the NATO Summit last January marked an historic milestone in the relationship between NATO and the nations of Europe recently emerged from decades of communist domination.

I am writing to inform you of my intent to add Belarus and Uzbekistan to the list of beneficiary developing countries under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP).

I declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of UNITA.

I believe you have taken the right step under the circumstances.

I agree with Secretary Bentsen that you have made many valuable contributions to this administration as Deputy Secretary.

This is a job-creating and job-restoring measure that will bring good jobs and economic growth back to this industry.

I have determined that it is appropriate to designate Belarus and Uzbekistan as beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences.

I hope that in due course you will be able to return to public service.

I am pleased to sign into law S. 1458, the 'General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994.'

I have determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP benefits to these two countries.

This Act will allow manufacturers to supply new basic aircraft for flight training, business use, and recreational flying.

There should be no more excuses, no more tricks, no more delays.

As I have stated many times, my Administration is committed to 'putting people first.'

I sincerely hope that it will reassure those currently paying into the system that they too will receive benefits when they retire.

With the enactment of H.R. 4277, we are beginning a new chapter in the history of the Social Security program.

We have the highest murder rate in the world and our children are more at risk here than they would be in most other countries.
