Bill Clinton

I think it is an open question, but I haven't changed my position on it. But I cannot tell you it's a lock-cinch deal because of what's happened, because of this--this is sort of a wild card for us--and because I'm obviously involved with…

Well, first I'd like to talk to Congressman Torricelli about it. I'm not sure the Security Council is open to that, but I'll be glad to talk to--he may know more about it than I do, and I'll be glad to talk to him about it. But as you…

First of all, I'm very upset about what happened to Haiti. The man was returned by error, frankly. He should be given status in this country. And this is a very serious thing. We are actually meeting on it today to see what our options are.

I don't want to get into that. I don't know. All I know is that not long after I took office, the people I know in south Dade County reminded me of what I had seen there and talked to me about how important it was to get things moving. And…

Let me just make one more remark, and then we'll be available for questions. I also want to acknowledge the work of Jeff Watson, a valued member of the White House staff, who is a native of Florida and who has worked very, very hard on…

The Department of Agriculture will transfer several hundred million dollars to programs to assist with emergency conservation.

Individual assistance can include temporary housing, grants, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.

If we want a balanced approach that maintains a smaller but still the best trained and best equipped military force in the world...we have to proceed with discipline on the base closing.

I believe it's important that what we do, we do with the Organization of the American States and with the United Nations.

This has been a very painful thing for me, seeing this thing happen to the Bay area.

I am prepared to do that for the Bay area, to make a special effort to focus on their long-term needs.

I'm confident that Congress and the country will choose a new direction for America.

The physical and mental health of south Dade residents is critically important.

I believe that a couple of those facilities, the Treasure Island one, for example, I think that the potential of even more economic benefits by turning some of those facilities over to nonmilitary uses are very great indeed.

Housing continues to be the single largest need in south Dade.

State Department Posts March 11, 1993 The President announced today that three career Foreign Service officers will continue serving in State Department positions that they currently hold. The three are Genta Hawkins Holmes, Director…

Yes. I was outraged by it. We have got to create a climate in this country where people do not think that is acceptable. And I think that's--how could someone have thought that they could take civil disobedience and carry it one extra…

I'm elated by that. I had some Senators in the office, and I said, ``That may be the only vote I carry 98 to 0 this year.'' But I enjoyed it. She's an extraordinary person, and I think she will do well. We've got to go. Thank you.

Your work is often dangerous, even when times are quiet.

As these bases close, we must not close our eyes and our hearts to the need for new investments.

I am immensely proud of who you are, what you stand for, and what you are doing.

You'll help to guide the Federal Government to assist State and local law enforcement in ways that really count.

Our values must remain unchanged, our purposes clear.

As Commander in Chief it's immensely reassuring to me to know that the United States is served by people of such high quality and such great dedication.

I thank you for your service to the country, and I look forward to the remainder of my stay here.
