Bill Clinton actually said...

"Each President, in his own way, has sought to use the power of the American government to make our country better, stronger, and truer to the ideals of its charter."

"The United States continues to press for prompt ratification of the Convention to enable its entry into force as soon as possible."

"His combination of White House, congressional—both House and Senate—and political experience will serve the administration well."

"The United States strongly supports the development of a legally binding protocol to strengthen the Convention."
