The likelihood of greater U.S. military involvement in Bosnia would be increased, not decreased.

This unity will be especially critical as we approach the Contact Group's final option of lifting the arms embargo.

One of the reasons that the bills are in the position that they're in today is that the people who were against this from the beginning and wanted to wreck it over the mandate were out there focused like a laser beam on beating it.

I met yesterday with a dozen or more business leaders who went outside the White House and once again reaffirmed their support for universal coverage.

I think it's incumbent on everybody to get in there and participate in the debate.

Do I wish they had come out stronger earlier? Of course I do.

I am writing to reaffirm my Administration's support for lifting the international arms embargo on Bosnia and Herzegovina imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 713 of September 25, 1991.

I would consult promptly with the Congress should unforeseen circumstances arise.

We just can't allow the kind of disinformation that Mr. Bowles talked about and the intense, almost hysterical fear that's been bred in some of the small business community.

It has been my longheld view that the arms embargo has unfairly and unintentionally penalized the victim in this conflict.

I do not think that Congress ought to send a message to the country that it is fine with us if this deplorable development continues.

That's plainly what happened in the last 4 months, 5 months in the House and in the Senate where there was just this 'kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it' drumbeat coming out of the ones who were negative.

This is a very important week for our country.

This is the first time in history we ever even got bills to the floor of both Houses of Congress.

My bottom line is what it has always been.

Ladies and gentlemen, in closing let me say that I couldn't help thinking, as the citations were read and I looked into the faces of our honorees and their families, friends, and admirers here, that we too often reserve our greatest…

I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to the Convention and provide its advice and consent to ratification.

The future of the country clearly would be better if we passed this crime bill.

I transmit herewith the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Pollock Resources in the Central Bering Sea.

The people who are out there on the front lines of law enforcement want to give these kids something to say yes to as well as something to say no to.

What I'm happy about is that the parties have agreed to a cease-fire and they're talking directly.

Growth and development in the minority business community are crucial to the social fabric, as well as to the overall economy, of this Nation.

This Convention is a state-of-the-art fishing agreement that will aid in ensuring the longterm health of pollock stocks in the central Bering Sea.

Minority business development is an essential element in helping to enable every American to become a full participant in the economic life of our country.

I call on the people of the United States to recognize the contributions that minority-owned businesses make to the well-being of this Nation.
