I want to reiterate the strong support of the U.S. for the efforts of the Secretary General to carry out his good-offices mandate.

There has never been a trade agreement with this kind of environmental protection in it.

I am heartened to know that Governor Celeste will help in our fight to bring health security to every American.

I believe, to be fair, that a lot of the people who are against this agreement were against the original agreement.

Governor Celeste's proven ability to forge bipartisan consensus will be a great help as Democrats and Republicans work together to reform our health care system.

Passage of the NAFTA is a high priority of our administration, and the appointment of Bill Daley to coordinate our efforts for its adoption should be viewed as a signal of my personal commitment.

I believe that the package of confidence-building measures is fair and balanced.

The case for NAFTA is strong, and in Bill Daley I have found the strongest possible advocate to make that case.

I believe, as I said repeatedly, that if we could get these side agreements... this trade agreement means a better future for America's workers, for American industry, for the American economy.

Whether we gain jobs or not, and gain good jobs, depends on whether there is more demand for American products and services.

Governor Celeste is a strong, effective, charismatic leader, and a remarkable motivator of people.

This agreement means more trade, more exports, and more jobs for the United States.

it is important to the national interest that up to $ 6,300,000 of the $ 14,000,000 of the funds previously authorized for use in support of Angolan repatriation be available to meet the urgent and unexpected needs of Mozambican refugees…

This agreement is a significant net plus for the American economy.

It would be tragic if this opportunity to move forward were missed.

Today, more and more women are leading the way through advancements in law, science, business, and the arts.

We are spending over 14 percent of our income on health care.

Doing nothing means more people lose their coverage.
