I think it's fair to say that Russia's capital and technology needs throughout the next decade extend well into the hundreds of billions of dollars.

I have made it clear that the United States is committed to democracy, to human rights, to market economies.

Boris Yeltsin has put the fate of the Government of Russia into the hands of the people of Russia.

I want to join him in thanking Prime Minister Mulroney and the people of Canada for their hospitality.

I discussed with President Yeltsin the initiatives totaling $1.6 billion intended to bolster political and economic reforms in Russia.

Good things can be accomplished when we reason together.

I'm very encouraged by the things that President Yeltsin has stood for, and the fight that he's waging now.

The United States has a great deal to gain from a strong, successful, democratic Russia.

I don't view this as a—this is not a talk about aid; this is a talk about a long-term partnership.

The people know that America needs our plan to put 500,000 Americans back to work by beginning the investments we need in a stronger, smarter economy.

I hope that as we leave here we are more committed to working together to move forward than perhaps we were when we came.

The plan should produce a predictable and sustainable level of timber sales and nontimber resources that will not degrade or destroy our forest environment.

A sound, well-rounded education that prepares students for achievement and success is a moral imperative and an economic necessity.

We're here to listen and to learn from you.

I hereby proclaim April 2, 1993, as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.

Let's confront problems, not people.

Where sound management policies can preserve the health of forest lands, sales should go forward.

This is not about choosing between jobs and the environment but about recognizing the importance of both.

With this core group in place, we can move forward to make an independent, aggressive force working to achieve justice for all Americans and safe streets across our country.

I hope that the Senate will quickly confirm these outstanding individuals.

I intend to direct the Cabinet and the entire administration to begin work immediately to craft a balanced, a comprehensive, a long-term policy.

I hope we can stay in the conference room and stay out of the courtroom.

I cannot repeal the laws of change.

A healthy economy and a healthy environment are not at odds with each other.

Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe--and it is up to us to determine the winner.
