Bill Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from January 20, 1993, to January 20, 2001.

Right after this radio address, I'm going to sign an order making this National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month.
I ask all Americans to reaffirm that being drunk or drugged is unacceptable and to intervene by stopping anyone impaired by drugs or alcohol from getting behind the wheel.
The crime bill I signed in September makes it clear that we won't tolerate this kind of behavior.

We must honor her memory by finishing the work to which she gave everything she had.
That's great. Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to give the last word to Speaker Foley. Certainly, his last vote as the Speaker was one of the most momentous of his illustrious career. We are very grateful for his leadership on so many…
