Bill Clinton

This is their victory, and I'm glad to be a small part of it.

We've come together today to have a little fun but also to express our gratitude in this Thanksgiving season for God's many blessings.

We are thankful for them.

This is my first year to have the honor of accepting the annual Thanksgiving turkey and granting the turkey the annual Presidential pardon.

I would just like to say before we leave, on behalf of the Vice President and the Attorney General and myself, that we believe very passionately in the Brady bill.

This is a good thing for the American people.

I have nominated Lt. Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey to succeed Gen. George A. Joulwan as Commander in Chief of U.S. Southern Command.

I actually didn't mind it.

This is the first step.

H.R. 3167 makes a significant down payment on systemic reform and contributes to enhancing the economic security of American workers.

I want to especially thank Congresswoman Leslie Byrne for joining us.

I think the American people would have been real disappointed if Congress had gone home without this bill.

We're putting the people and expertise that helped America win the cold war to work on restoring America's industrial competitiveness.

As all of you who were involved in the campaign know, I spoke about it at every campaign stop and every country crossroads in this country.

I believe these worker profiling systems will make a real difference and provide new opportunities for unemployed workers.

The goal is a simple one: more jobs for American workers.

Together we can make this country stronger and have even more to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.

However, the improvement in the economy is not yet solid enough to justify discontinuing the EUC program.

Today I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 3167, the 'Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1993.'

I think it's a terrible mistake, and I hope we can break out of it today.

Well, just about everything that goes on in the Philippines interests me. Our country and the Philippines have a long and deep friendship that goes back many decades. And I was very impressed with the leadership that President Ramos showed…

Well, as they head home here, I hope the House will pass campaign finance reform today. And I still have a little hope that they can work out their differences over the Brady bill and give it to the American people for a Thanksgiving…
