These documents constitute my recommendation to continue in effect the waiver authority for a further 12-month period.

No, I'm not going to get into it because Congress is on recess and our commitment is twofold, of our administration. One is to work with the Senators of any party who will work with us and, secondly, to make sure the Senate Finance…

I have nothing to add over and above what's been in the paper already. I mean, the Senators on the Senate Finance Committee have discussed with me and also with the House Members who voted for this program the options that are there within…

[Inaudible]--I think he's got some really good ideas. But once he committed himself to cutting as much as he did, he actually lost more Republicans than I lost Democrats.

I have made no decision on it. I don't want to flame the story anymore. That is one of the options that has been presented, and one of ones that, frankly, some hospital people have talked to us about.

Well, these things go up and down.

I believe NAFTA will create jobs and raise incomes in both the United States and Mexico, and I think it will help Canada.

I determine that the further extension of the waiver authority granted by section 402(c) of the Act will substantially promote the objectives of section 402 of the Act.

Arlington, Virginia May 31, 1993 Thank you very much. General Gordon, distinguished leaders of the armed services, the Defense Department, the Cabinet, the Congress, the leaders of our veterans organizations here, to all the veterans and…

Good morning. Please be seated. It's a great honor for the First Lady and for me to have all of you here in the White House today. I want to welcome all of you, and a few by name, beginning with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse…

I wouldn't let anybody off the hook that could pay it back, but the point is for them, they never really—unlike the Chinese, for example, who were traders for centuries and had a whole market history, the Russians essentially went from a…

This plan has over 200 spending cuts.

They're broke. They can't right now.

I secured agreement early on for about $250 billion in tax cuts, spending cuts, I mean, a little under, about $245 billion.

If we simplify that, their costs will drop dramatically.

This administration is about jobs, incomes, health care, education, and training, and bringing this deficit down.

Because I believe we can do better, I asked the people of this country to give me a chance to serve as President.

I think that's what you want, and I hope you'll support your Members of Congress and me as we try to do that.

It's important that people know that over 70 percent of the money is being paid by the top 6 percent of income earners.

The American people voted for change.

We have put forward a program which will open the doors of college education to all Americans.

I always said—on February 17th I said if we can meet these principles, $500 billion in deficit reduction, aggressive taxation, incentives to invest in America, move from welfare to work, lift the working poor out of poverty, and these…

It's not just a tax program. It's an economic program.

I think we have made a real start at that.
