Bill Clinton

This administration is firmly and unequivocally committed to the private sector as the engine of economic growth in America.

We know that if we create a reliable and secure system of credit for America's small businesses, they'll create jobs for Americans and profits for themselves.

This action that this administration is taking today should take a big chunk out of that wall.

We cannot afford not to try to resume this trend in the 1990's.

I agree that we will have a budget resolution which will be roughly conforming to the reestimates of the CBO in general terms and that will still contain the investment strategy that I want to pursue.

No, we had a great meeting.

I believe, under all the scenarios I have seen that I think are possible, we would see immediate savings in the private sector if we were to adopt a comprehensive health care reform package.

I think that eventually all the committees will get together, and the two bodies will get together, and we will work out a budget that the American people can be proud of.

We want to get acquainted and talk about some matters of mutual concerns.

I am very, very hopeful that the United States and France can be partners in updating our common interests.

I believe the United States has an obligation to try to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

I restated the position of the administration, which is now well-known in the public, that we were opposed to the introduction of American ground forces.

I think it is entirely possible that such a meeting might be useful.

I understand a little.

I learned a lot today.

We haven't worked out the details on how it's going to be done.

I support last year's agreement.

Failure to continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of United States non-proliferation objectives.

We have some issues that need to be managed, need to be resolved between the United States and Europe.

I look forward to being one again someday.

We need a partnership, and it has to begin with making sure the people of this country can compete and win in the global economy.

We share an interest in support of democracy and economic reform in Russia.

I'm prepared to take responsibility.

We have to reject trickle-down economics, and we have to reject tax-and-spend economics.

This plan calls for cutting $300 million in earmarked small business loans.
