If on Inauguration Day in 1993, someone had told you that within 5 1/2 years America would have 16 million new jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in 28 years, would you have said, 'I will accept that and be glad for the next 5 years for what's going on in America'?

We will have targeted tax relief in the President's budget that underpins the fundamentals of a very strong and growing U.S. economy.

Could we grow the economy and improve the environment?

The United States cannot maintain and enhance its own standard of living unless the developing nations grow and grow rapidly.

Real wages are rising, the American economy has created 13.2 million new jobs since the beginning of my administration.

We have produced 11.2 million jobs for the first time in history in a 4-year Presidential administration.

Our economy is the strongest it's been in 30 years.

Let me say what I want to do is to keep a sustained period of growth going.

I think if we can keep growth between 2 1/2 and 3 percent, and if we can avert a huge increase in health care inflation, then I believe we'll have some money for the kinds of investments we need.

I am determined to press forward with our economic strategy, so that our economy keeps growing and millions more families can join the ranks of homeowners.

More than ever before, the private sector is the engine of economic growth.

I'm proud of the fact that we have 10 1/2 million more jobs and record exports.

Our objective should be to achieve the maximum sustainable economic growth in our country, consistent with not letting inflation get out of hand.

As we seek to sustain economic growth, there is no more important institution in our country than the Federal Reserve.

We must continue to encourage the growth of high-wage industries, which will create the high-wage jobs of the future.

We have to keep growing jobs and opportunities for people everywhere.

Steady progress means more jobs and opportunities for American workers and U.S. businesses as we look toward the next century.

We believe that if we do this right, we can generate even more employment in this area as we go through this transition period.
