Bill Clinton

Governor Celeste's proven ability to forge bipartisan consensus will be a great help as Democrats and Republicans work together to reform our health care system.

There has never been a trade agreement with this kind of environmental protection in it.

The United States is playing a leading role in the work of the CWC Preparatory Commission.

I am pleased to announce that William Daley has agreed to serve as Chairman of the administration's Task Force on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

I am heartened to know that Governor Celeste will help in our fight to bring health security to every American.

Passage of the NAFTA is a high priority of our administration, and the appointment of Bill Daley to coordinate our efforts for its adoption should be viewed as a signal of my personal commitment.

NAFTA is a pathbreaking trade agreement because its implementation will bring a better deal for American workers, companies, and consumers.

Whether we gain jobs or not, and gain good jobs, depends on whether there is more demand for American products and services.

It would be tragic if this opportunity to move forward were missed.

This agreement is a significant net plus for the American economy.

It is important to the national interest that up to $ 6,300,000 of the $ 14,000,000 of the funds previously authorized for use in support of Angolan repatriation be available to meet the urgent and unexpected needs of Mozambican refugees…

The case for NAFTA is strong, and in Bill Daley I have found the strongest possible advocate to make that case.

I believe that the package of confidence-building measures is fair and balanced.

I believe, as I said repeatedly, that if we could get these side agreements... this trade agreement means a better future for America's workers, for American industry, for the American economy.

Governor Celeste is a strong, effective, charismatic leader, and a remarkable motivator of people.

This agreement means more trade, more exports, and more jobs for the United States.

Today, more and more women are leading the way through advancements in law, science, business, and the arts.

There is established the Domestic Policy Council.

The principal functions of the Council are: to coordinate the domestic policy-making process.

The economic plan would reduce the deficit by a record amount.

It just defies common sense to say that we can't maintain the world's finest health care system.

Doing nothing means more people lose their coverage.

I want to thank the NGA and especially the Governors who have worked with us throughout this process.

I treasure the partnership that I have had with so many of you.

Health care reform will boost job creation in the private sector if it is done right.
