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

"The legislation also contains crippling cuts in key education, labor, and health priorities and undermines our capacity to manage these programs effectively."

"I told them that I understood they wanted to leave town, and I was not trying to keep them here."

"In adopting an across-the-board reduction, the Congress has abdicated its responsibility to make tough choices."
