Congress

It is about time that Congress lived by the same laws it places on the private sector.

I want to commend the Congress for passing the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 today.

I hope the new Congress will pass the middle class bill of rights.

I want Congress to adopt what I call the middle class bill of rights, four new ideas to help middle class Americans build a future that lives up to their dreams.

I hereby report to the Congress that I have exercised my statutory authority to declare a national emergency.

I would consult promptly with the Congress should unforeseen circumstances arise.

I do not think that Congress ought to send a message to the country that it is fine with us if this deplorable development continues.

That's plainly what happened in the last 4 months, 5 months in the House and in the Senate where there was just this 'kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it' drumbeat coming out of the ones who were negative.

This is the first time in history we ever even got bills to the floor of both Houses of Congress.

As Leon said earlier today, there's something wrong when the Congress takes 6 years to pass a crime bill and the average violent criminal is out of prison in 4 years.

The Congress must, must approve the worldwide GATT trade agreement that we negotiated.

Congress has to decide whether it's going to listen to the insurance companies or to Jan Cox's last wish.

This plan is working, and we need to keep Sherrod and Eric and Lou in the Congress and elect Joel Hyatt to keep America's economy going.

In the interest of making Government work more effectively and at less cost, the Administration urges the Congress to show restraint in creating new advisory committees.

My Administration will continue to work closely with the Congress to realize our shared goals of improving efficiency and reducing costs.

I have approved the Amendment, authorized its execution, and urge that the Congress give it favorable consideration.

Today, on behalf of the United States Congress, I award them both the Medal of Honor.

I urge the Congress to act quickly and favorably on this proposal.
