I transmit herewith the Annual Report of the Railroad Retirement Board for Fiscal Year 1996.
I am very pleased that the agency's General Counsel has proposed a new rule prohibiting national parties from raising soft money.
This budget is not just balanced, it is balanced the right way.
I am determined to provide the help that families need when it comes to finding safe, high-quality, affordable child care.
By ending nuclear testing we could help to prevent the development of new and more dangerous weapons.
This budget marks the end of an era, an end to decades of deficits that have shackled our economy.
Our economy is strong, our budget is headed toward balance.
This budget reserves that surplus—I want to say it again—this budget reserves that surplus.
Because America continues to have a tremendous stake in world affairs, my budget proposes the necessary funds to maintain national security.
We must maintain our fiscal discipline so that we not only reach balance, but also keep the budget in balance.
Our anti-crime strategy is working.
Five years ago, my Administration took office determined to restore the American Dream for every American.
We can balance the budget and still hire 100,000 new teachers and modernize 5,000 schools.
By reaching balance, my budget represents a remarkable turnaround in our fiscal policy over the last five years.
Ratification by the United States and others will constrain non-signatories to this treaty from conducting nuclear tests.
We need to do this.
The point of the treaty is to ban the bang, not to ban the bomb.
Our children need our help. They need all the help we can give them because they are our future.
