Bill Clinton actually said...

"This legislation makes clear that children's health and safety are the paramount concerns of the public child welfare system."

"This bill represents a genuine breakthrough in what is now quite a long effort by many people to achieve national academic standards in the United States."

"The provision was canceled by the President because, as originally drafted, it would have permitted abuse and created loopholes."

"I can think of no better way to celebrate National Adoption Month than to sign this legislation into law."
