Bill Clinton

What I spoke of was not that citizens should go back to their private lives from Government and not that they shouldn't be able to use the knowledge and experience they have, but they shouldn't be able to abuse it. What we did was to erect…

Well, that was recommended to me, as you know, by the Mayor-elect of New York and the Mayor of Los Angeles, and I've asked the Attorney General to review it and make a recommendation to me on it. I think I should wait to hear from her on…

First of all, it's a terrible human tragedy, and my sympathies go out to all the families involved. I will say, I think we have to note that the gun that was used contained, apparently, two 15-round clips that were expended while this man…

I ask tonight that all of us, each in our own way, express our gratitude to the men and women of our Armed Forces who are overseas in this Christmas season.

We need some more investment to do that.

The first is that protecting the environment goes hand in hand with economic growth as we move toward the 21st century.

This is the first step, but only the first step we have to take in restoring the conditions of civilized life to a lot of our cities.

We have to try to create environments, incentives, conditions in which the objectives we desire will be more likely to occur.

In this Pageant of Peace we come together in the spirit of our better selves.

I believe that this Nation is really prepared in a way that it has not been before, at least in my experience, to do something about violent crime.

One of my better predecessors, Harry Truman, once said that his job consisted largely of trying to talk people into doing what they ought to do without his having to ask them in the first place.

I think the margin of Mayor Lanier's reelection is evidence that people know that if you properly deploy trained personnel, it just doesn't serve to catch criminals quicker, but because of the relationships they develop in the community…

I believe that very strongly.

I think the American people are tired of hurting and tired of feeling insecure and tired of the violence.

I ask tonight, at this Pageant of Peace, that we pray in this Christmas season that we be given the wisdom and the courage, the heart, the renewed sense of common humanity, to do what we can to bring more peace to the streets, the homes…

I have determined that it is appropriate to extend GSP benefits to Kyrgyzstan.

It is imperative that we move on the crime bill and the 100,000 police officers in the street and the boot camps as soon as we can when the Congress comes back.

People can sense whether you are going in the right direction or the wrong direction, and I think we have to work together to change the direction.

Deputy Chief of Staff December 7, 1993 I've known Phil for a long time and believe that his integrity, personal qualities, and record of management success will be a genuine asset to the White House.

I just don't agree with that position.

We ought to pass the crime bill.

Put those 100,000 police officers on the street.

I certainly stand behind her foursquare as Surgeon General.

Much better, thank you.
