You are terrific.

Our security, our prosperity, our standing among other nations, all these are the legacy of the men and women, the heroes before us who we honor today.

They forged the international institutions, the economic institutions, the United Nations, and NATO, that brought 50 years of security and prosperity to our Nation, to Europe, and to Japan.

America had not given up, and America was on the offensive.

You represent the best of our country, our best hope for the future.

I hereby determine that it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $4 million in funds.

We will never forget your fight for our freedom.

I authorized these actions in conjunction with our NATO allies to implement the relevant U.N. Security Council resolutions and NATO decisions.

I regret that our fiscal situation does not permit granting Federal employees a pay increase greater than 2.4 percent.

I have determined that an alternative pay adjustment of 2.4 percent is appropriate for the 1996 pay raises under sections 5303 and 5304.

I do not believe this will have any material impact on the quality of our work force.

I urge both republicans and loyalists to do their part and seriously address the issue of decommissioning paramilitary weapons.

I hope all the parties will reaffirm their commitment to build a peace in Northern Ireland for generations.

I also salute the people of Northern Ireland for their extraordinary perseverance and their dedication to the cause of peace.

These historic decisions opened a door that had been closed to the people of Northern Ireland for too long—the gateway to peace.

I am looking forward to visiting a peaceful Northern Ireland later this year and paying personal tribute to those who have worked so hard to bring about this new day.

Our labors ensure that the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will benefit generations to come.
