Bill Clinton

I'm proud to announce some more good news today.

These are actions that Americans deserve and demand.

We have supported other countries taking the lead in other areas of the world where their interests are directly at stake.

We must—we must—implement it vigorously and promptly.

It is not a Government bureaucracy; it is a movement that the Government has made possible.

I transmit herewith for Senate advice and consent to ratification the Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Sweden.

We are committed to trying to put an end to this.

That effort ranks among our highest and most solemn national priorities.

We will measure our progress not only in terms of bills passed and money saved but in terms of people better served.

Their commitment to public service and to equal justice for all Americans is outstanding.

People don't suffer this kind of thing and not want to retaliate.

It tells young people that if you commit a serious crime or belong to a gang, you can get more time in jail automatically.

The time has come for them to go, one way or the other.

I believe that you fought for this crime bill because you knew that there was so much in it that would actually work for this country.

That decision is in the hands of the people in Haiti; they can still leave.

The size of the Federal work force has been reduced by 71,000 positions.

We have to make this reinventing Government a permanent process.

There is no effort that he has spared to promote this project.

Unless we can do the last thing, we cannot achieve the other three.

I will look to General Sheehan to continue the innovative efforts of Admiral Miller in defining the role of allied military power in forging a safe and secure world.

By joining the House in passing the interstate banking bill, the Senate has gone beyond gridlock to eliminate unnecessary barriers to the competitiveness and efficiency of our banking system.

Enactment of the interstate bill and the community development and regulatory improvement legislation will help them continue that record.

Today this country took an historic step, one that has been delayed for much too long, to help American banks better meet the needs of our people, our communities, and our economy.

American banks have shown over the last several years that they can combine high quality service for all with strong financial performance.

You will devote your own potential to helping other people live up to their God-given potential.
