Bill Clinton

Whenever possible, get somebody you've appointed to high office to introduce you.

If everybody in this country who wanted to work had a job and we had free and open markets in the world, then we could lower taxes and reduce the deficit.

In order to provide for an accelerated schedule of duty elimination for specific goods of Annex 401.2 to the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement and to modify the rules of origin for certain goods under the Agreement.

I know how hard it is.

The modifications made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set forth in sections…

If we had one that worked, if there was a system of crop insurance that worked, we wouldn't have to worry about it.

The Secretary of State shall be responsible for implementing sections 1704, 1707, and 1708 of the Act.

African Leaders July 2, 1993 The President held separate meetings this afternoon with South African State President F.W. de Klerk and African National Congress President Nelson Mandela. The meetings lasted about 30 minutes each. The two…

Well, first of all, I've had a very consistent and clear public position on it. But I can only undertake one major battle at a time. And right now, I've got to pass this big budget and economic program. It's a dramatic change from the last…

Well, in our country we can't ignore court orders. But, first of all, we announced that we would appeal within the hour of the decision. And we believe we will win. We also are exploring other options for compliance that would not delay…

Well, as you know, I favor a seat for Germany and for Japan in the Security Council. I think they are great economic powers. I think they have been responsible international political citizens, and they are leaders. I do not think I should…

Absolutely. And I do not believe that Americans can go back to work in sufficient numbers until the world begins to work more. For example, we've created in this country in the last 5 months about 960,000 jobs. That's about the same number…

Absolutely. We're all having economic trouble, so there won't be probably as much money as I would like because of the economic difficulties that all the nations have. But I think given the problems that the people of these countries have…

I certainly hope so. The United States committed $1.6 billion at Vancouver. Over half that money has now been obligated. We have another bill moving through our Congress that deals largely with energy and nuclear issues and environmental…

I would say first, we have a lot more in common than we have which divides us, that I am very proud of the support that the United States and, indeed, that the G-7 gave to the movement toward democracy and the fact that President Yeltsin…

But then I went back--when you talk about changing my position, what I did was I went back to the British, the French, and the others and I said, ``Okay, what can we agree on? We don't want to say, `Well, we didn't get our way; so we're…

----all I could do is do what we did last week. I voted with many of the nonaligned nations in the United Nations, and we didn't win the battle.

No, they disagreed with me. It's not their fault. They disagreed. We had an honest disagreement about what the right policy to follow was. I expect as we go through time we'll disagree about other things. I thought I could persuade them…

No. Neither one. Let me, first of all, point out what the United States has done just since I've been President. We spent a great deal of money on humanitarian aid; we have pushed hard for strengthening the embargo against Serbia; we have…

I think it won't be long. I think we'll see--my hunch is that the capacity for adjustment in both countries is greater than we sometimes think, and I think we'll resolve this pretty quickly. Bosnia

Well, I think it depends in part on the development of ideas in Japan, both within the government, both elected and civil servant personnel, and among the people themselves. But I think you will see a resolution of this. I'm not…

I don't think I should raise any expectations of that just because it's difficult for us to predict now what will happen. I can tell you this: We're going to keep talking to them, and in the end we're going to get this worked out. I think…

Well, let me say this. What I can tell you based on my personal experience with this is that you've got a lot of very creative, innovative people out there in these communities. And some of these bases have been rumored about now for a…

We can't discuss that yet. It's not 9:30 a.m. [Laughter] But that's not the point. You can't tell anything from the month's figures anyway. This thing is moving forward in fits and starts, and we're doing a pretty good job of creating…

Well, I plan to make clear statements about our commitment to Asia and our involvement in Asia, in both Japan and Korea. And I think that we will clearly be able to do that, and it will be more explicit when the Secretary of Defense…
