Bill Clinton

I think it is a fair and balanced program.

Americans have always rallied to one another in times of real need.

The Executive Order is an important element in the Administration's effort to reduce Federal spending and bureaucracy.

I hereby order, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America...

I want the line-item veto very badly.

This is the largest program for deficit reduction in the history of the country, $500 billion.

The Government should make a bigger sacrifice than the taxpayers.

They want things done.

We shouldn't make it harder to work and support a family.

I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff...

But under our system, the Federal Government can only do so much.

When an emergency struck, the young people we honor today didn't wait, they acted.

Keep in mind that gasoline in America is the cheapest of any country in the world.

We also have an 800 number which any citizen can call.

Today we honor things that matter more, the potential of the human heart and the courage of even the very young.

Of every $10 of deficit reduction, half of it is in spending cuts.

I think the bill will pass the Congress in the next couple of days and come right to me for my signature.

I want to thank you for watching this program tonight and for your concern for those who have been victimized by this awful flood.

To think that this young girl at her age, to have that amount of courage to save a member of her family is really astonishing.

Half of this deficit reduction is coming from spending cuts.

People who can work should work, but if they do work, their families at home shouldn't be poor.

I hereby transmit the third biennial revision (1994-1995) to the United States Arctic Research Plan.

I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think the Senate will support it on a bipartisan basis and without regard to where they're from.

I'm elated. I'm elated. I think it's a wonderful thing. We had, as you know, the Governors from the flooded States, and they're real grateful. And we just have to see quick action from the Senate. There are still a lot of problems out…

Senator, let me ask you a question. Have you presented that specific proposal to the Vice President's task force on reinventing Government? Do you know the answer to that? Mr. Burke. Yes, we have. And we've also discussed this proposal…
