Bill Clinton actually said...

"Failure to systematically confront language barriers can lead to unequal access to Federal benefits based on national origin and can harm the mission of Federal agencies."

"Breaking down these barriers will allow individuals with limited English proficiency to fully participate in American society."

"Language barriers are preventing the Federal Government and recipients of Federal financial assistance from effectively serving a large number of people in this country who are eligible to participate..."

"So we're going to work together and see if we can find a way to help the parties get over this next big hump."
