I have invested a lot in both the change and the continuity because I think they are terribly important.

There is no more important relationship to the United States than our relationship with Japan.

I want to say how glad we are to be in Japan.

I was able to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to the security relationship that exists between our two nations.

We think it is in the interest of both countries for that to happen.

I've honored myself and the entire family of man by becoming a teacher.

I want to thank all of you who teach our children, staff our schools, lead our communities, and build our future.

Today, it is America's great energizer as well, the best change agent we can possibly have.

The new economy is built on information and innovation.

Every student ought to finish high school, every high school graduate ought to have at least 2 years of school-to-work transitional education and training.

The Secretary of State shall be responsible for implementing sections 1704, 1707, and 1708 of the Act.

I believe that most of the fears the American people have are not well-founded about that.

I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to correct this error.
