I am extremely pleased that Ricki will be taking on this new assignment.

We must now respect the judgment of the leaders of South Africa and move to lift our remaining economic sanctions.

This Yom Kippur is particularly significant.

I have been in the Midwest four times since early summer when the floods first began to exact their steep toll on the lives and livelihoods of thousands of hardworking Americans. I've seen firsthand the magnitude of the damage, the…

I called Mr. Kohl last night, and we communicated in other ways with Prime Minister Major and President Mitterrand, Prime Minister Balladur in France, and others. I noted that Prime Minister Major came out today in support, and I know…

Well, the situation is calm, and I am hopeful. You know what my position is on it, and I still think the United States has to be on the side of reform and democracy in Russia, and President Yeltsin represents that. But I know nothing more…

The American people simply won't put up with it if they think they have no choices in their health care.

We must make this system more simple, more simple because it will have more integrity and more support.

We are going to get it done because things are different.

I think it depends upon how good a line of communication we can maintain with the American people.

Sixty-four percent are right.

From the beginning of my administration, I have given my full backing to the historic process of political and economic reform now underway in Russia. I remain convinced that democratic reforms and the transition to a market economy hold…

It is a big problem. Maybe I should answer that question first, because it's a quicker one. Then let me try to tell you how to sort through the winners and losers. Okay? First of all, in this system if you put consumers of health care…

Well, for one thing, the quality standards that govern medical care today will still be in effect. That is, most of them are professional standards, and they're not enforced by the Government today.

I wore it for the national service signing today. It's interesting, we just had a lunch with a number of columnists-- -- Audience members. Lunch? Lunch? [Laughter]

Yes. I do, too. I heard them play last night, you know. So I sort of got caught up on my music last night, listening to them practice.

They were supportive in the campaign, and they made that wonderful song about runaway children, which had a big impact on young people throughout the country. We just thought they'd be a good group to be here.
