Bill Clinton

I am delighted to extend my congratulations as you are sworn in as the Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

The understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the settlement of Disputes will provide for a more effective and expeditious dispute resolution mechanism.

Creation of the WTO will contribute to the achievement of the second principal U.S. negotiating objective of improving the operation of the GATT and multilateral trade agreements.

There are few challenges more pressing today than arms control and nonproliferation.

I will not enter into any agreement unless I am satisfied that U.S. interests are protected.

All previously issued proclamations and Executive orders are hereby superseded to the extent inconsistent with this proclamation.

I know that while you are our President our country will grow in all of its strengths.

Overall, our view is that these elections have been a very positive development for the Russian people and for the Russian government.

I believe that we have created a unique opportunity to build an international trading system that will ensure the orderly and equitable expansion of world trade and contribute to the prosperity of the United States in coming generations.

I think that our policy in a very broad way is that we're supporting reform forces.

I have determined that certain preferential tariff treatment previously afforded to other designated beneficiary developing countries should be continued.

I will always appreciate the thoughtful and dedicated and ultimately selfless service that Les Aspin provided to me and to this Nation over this last year.

Les has been a close adviser and a friend of mine for a long time.

I am particularly pleased to advise you that the Uruguay Round results will provide an unprecedented level of new market access opportunities for U.S. goods and services exports.

He's provided steady leadership for the entire defense community as it has confronted the inevitable downsizing that accompanied the end of the cold war.

Americans will continue to be secure, our men and women in uniform will always be honored, and we will be true to our best values as a people.

He helped launch creative policy responses to the fundamental changes of this era.

All Americans are in your debt for it.

None of them have been more significant than his service as Secretary of Defense.

Minister Jozsef Antall December 13, 1993 Dear Mr. President: Please accept and convey to the Hungarian people my sincere condolences on the sad occasion of Prime Minister Antall's death. The Prime Minister's passing is a loss not only for…

I've made no decisions. I haven't even had a chance to talk about that. I had always assumed that when I went there after the parliamentary election that there would be some opportunity for me to relate to the parliamentarians as well as…

Well, I've not received a final report today. As you know, I did quite a bit of work on it yesterday. I had a talk with Prime Minister Balladur and Prime Minister Major and Chancellor Kohl, and our folks, they're all working very hard. And…

I think, there must be a lot of people in Russia who are extremely frustrated and have a high level of anger because they've been through a lot of tough times.

I felt if we stuck by it, if we just kept arguing that a wealthy country can only create jobs and raise incomes by increasing the number of its customers for goods and services, in the end we would prevail.

I have chosen Barbara Jordan, one of the most well respected people in America, to chair this Commission because immigration is one of the most important and complex issues facing our country today.
