Congress

Tonight, because of the bold action taken by courageous men and women in the House and the Senate, that dream will not be deferred but rather be fulfilled.

I ask for the support of the Congress in being willing to reexamine all of our assumptions.

This summer I got an emergency bill through Congress which will provide funds to Los Angeles and other cities to rehire police officers that have been laid off.

I think the bill will pass the Congress in the next couple of days and come right to me for my signature.

I remain committed to ensuring that the Congress is kept fully informed on U.S. peacekeeping contributions and the use of U.S. Armed Forces for these vital purposes.

It shows once again how critically important it is for Congress to lock in the benefits of lower interest rates and deficit reduction by approving the Clinton economic plan.

I also want to tell you that the Attorney General and I have been working hard for the last several weeks with interested Members of Congress to bring up a crime bill this year.

I hereby delegate to you the authority to transmit to the Congress the annual report describing the activities of the Federal Government as required by subtitle H, title V of the Energy Security Act.

I think a lot of the questions that have been raised about it in the Congress are the very questions that are being debated and dealt with in the negotiations now going on between the countries.

I recommend that the Congress give favorable consideration to this agreement at an early date.

Our support requires making sure that the project is well managed and that the Congress is informed of the full costs and anticipated benefits of the program.

I think the best thing you could do, since you need to know—there are a lot of people in the Congress who are honestly asking these questions—the best thing you can do is to give the issues that you care about, all of you, in terms of…

I intend to fully and aggressively push the crime bill, which did not pass the Congress last year.

I strongly support term limits for Members of the United States Congress.

I am notifying the Congress of my intention to suspend the GSP eligibility of Syria.

I feel they ought to elect a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

A balanced budget amendment is the only way to force the Federal Government, both the Congress and the executive branch, to live within its means.

I'm hopeful that these business leaders and their colleagues will help us carry this message to the Hill.
