Bill Clinton

The world is better for their efforts.

We are pursuing our interests with resolve and steadiness.

Art outlives governments, creeds, societies, even civilizations.

I feel that we are pursuing the proper course at this time.

You can have various—States with low unemployment rates can have absolute cutoffs of welfare benefits once certain training programs have been gone through and people are prepared to enter the work force.

I think one reason I like basketball so much is it's gotten to be a lot like my job.

I was anxious to see Corliss up here with his cast up close.

I want to say to the coach and to the team that all of us, I think, were very, very proud.

The strongest part of the bill that I announced yesterday on welfare reform is the child support provisions, because they're the toughest in the history of the country.

I think he will reaffirm our position.

We estimate that we will go from $9 billion a year to $20 billion a year in child support enforcement recoveries if this bill passes.

To make it work, you would have to provide some transitional aid for people for child care and for medical coverage for the children.

You showed America the best about what college athletics should be.

We have to end welfare as we know it.

Gilbert Casellas' dedication and commitment to providing equal opportunities to all Americans and his skilled ability to build consensus around even the most complex issues make me proud to nominate him to chair this essential commission.

This is not a partisan issue; this is an American issue.

This is a time set aside by tradition to pay tribute to fathers across our land and to thank them for their unconditional love.

Welfare ought to be a second chance, not a way of life.

All fathers in our society today must reinvest in supplying emotional and financial support for their children.

We cannot permit millions and millions and millions of American children to be trapped in a cycle of dependency.

I transmit herewith the 1993 annual report of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee.
