Bill Clinton actually said...

"I made a commitment to rebuild America."

"My Administration will redouble our efforts to protect those who travel on our Nation's highways."

"The improvements made to these roads will not only support our Nation's economic, national defense, and mobility needs, but directly and significantly improve the safety of these key national roadways..."

"This Act is the culmination of several years' work by all levels of government to identify highways of national significance."
