I want to especially thank Congresswoman Leslie Byrne for joining us.

As all of you who were involved in the campaign know, I spoke about it at every campaign stop and every country crossroads in this country.

We've come together today to have a little fun but also to express our gratitude in this Thanksgiving season for God's many blessings.

This is the first step.

The goal is a simple one: more jobs for American workers.

I would just like to say before we leave, on behalf of the Vice President and the Attorney General and myself, that we believe very passionately in the Brady bill.

It is a wonderful Thanksgiving present for the American people.

I think it's a terrible mistake, and I hope we can break out of it today.

This is my first year to have the honor of accepting the annual Thanksgiving turkey and granting the turkey the annual Presidential pardon.

I believe these worker profiling systems will make a real difference and provide new opportunities for unemployed workers.

Today I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 3167, the 'Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1993.'

I actually didn't mind it.

This legislation will provide the unemployed and their families with important assistance by extending eligibility for the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.

H.R. 3167 makes a significant down payment on systemic reform and contributes to enhancing the economic security of American workers.

I transmit herewith the first report of the operation of the Caribbean Basin Initiative.

We're putting the people and expertise that helped America win the cold war to work on restoring America's industrial competitiveness.

I am elated.

Thank you for taking us in here and letting us be a part of what Hillary and I have always done at Thanksgiving.
