Bill Clinton

My Administration remains committed to resolving the complex and important issue of nuclear waste disposal in a timely and sensible manner.

If you believe that everyone counts and that everyone should have a chance to live his or her life, then you've got to help us pass this legislation.

We need to work together as partners and as a national community to fight crimes fueled by hate.

I am returning herewith without my approval S. 1287, the 'Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2000.'

The overriding goal of the Federal Government's high-level radioactive waste management policy is the establishment of a permanent, geologic repository.

It is critical that we develop the capability to permanently dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

I urge that the concerns about the electoral process underscored by the Organization of American States mission to Peru... be fully addressed in preparations for the second round.

It is profoundly important.

Democracy is strengthened when all Peruvians have the opportunity to debate and determine the future of Peru.

The democratic countries of this hemisphere are united in our hope that the election be conducted in a transparent, peaceful, and statesmanlike manner.

Public confidence in this first-of-a-kind effort is essential.

There's not a single soul in this room or in this entire country who believes that our children are as safe as they ought to be.

This is not a partisan statement, but a simple statement of fact.

Today I have signed into law S.J.Res. 43, expressing the sense of the Congress on the importance of free, fair, and democratic elections in Peru.

We know we can make America a safer place.

No one should be victimized because of how they look, how they worship, or who they are.

There is no scientific reason to delay issuance of these final radiation standards beyond the last year of this Administration.

Transparent elections are the foundation of a democratic society.

Their courage, energy, and resourcefulness inspire the admiration of all Americans.

We favor raising the minimum wage, and they don't.

I join Armenians around the world, including the Armenian-American community, in mourning the loss of those innocent lives.

Now it's up to you to decide whether we do that.

We think we ought to do that and give them health care coverage, and they don't.

We owe it to our children and the dreams we have for them, to make sure that the next President of the United States is Al Gore.

Our own society has benefited immeasurably from the contributions of Armenian-Americans.
