Bill Clinton: “That's what I want. I mean, I think if all the families in this country could give their children a safe and happy…”

“That's what I want. I mean, I think if all the families in this country could give their children a safe and happy childhood, a lot of our other problems would be solved. Now, there's a lot of elements in that, but that's what I want. I mean, I think that would be my wish. Mr. Jennings. Now, if my recollection is correct from a year ago, when the President meets with his staff tomorrow morning, he's going to tell them about a lot of the questions that you have raised. So, how would you like to see the room, now, where the President has his staff meetings every morning? This is the Roosevelt Room, and this is the Deputy Chief of Staff, Phil Lader, showing it to his kids. [A videotape was shown, and then the television stations took a commercial break.] Environmental Cleanup Mr. Jennings. Welcome back to the East Room, and we're joined again--nice to have you back, Purnell. Purnell Brewer is 13 years old from Gary, Louisiana. Did the President keep his word to you pretty much? [Purnell, who believed his brother's death from cancer was a result of environmental pollution, said pollution had decreased since his appearance on the first ABC children's town meeting in February 1993 but more work needed to be done.] Mr. Jennings. All right, Purnell, hang on a second there and let the President maybe talk to that point.”
