Bill Clinton

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.

I don't see that we're on the verge of a trade war.

I think the important thing for the discussions tomorrow is for the two Presidents to have a full review of where we are on these various issues.

Let me give you one other example.

The big issue is, should we do all these things: Should we cut spending; should we raise revenues; should we increase investment?

I think everyone now recognizes that we cannot continue on the past course.

The United States remains of the view that it would be a good idea to move ahead as a signal of the determination of the Security Council.

We want to find ways in which assistance can be provided most effectively to the process in Russia.

That is also happening.

Those discussions, those consultations will be definitely at a different level, right.

Thank you. I'm just going to sit around now and wait for my number to be called. [Laughter] I'm going to start practicing this afternoon. You know, it's never too late. Thank you very much.

Is that right? Is that right? Is it your birthday? Come up here. How old are you? I said, ``How old are you?'' He said, ``27, but tell them 24.'' Have you ever considered running for office? [Laughter] Can you imagine that, 27 years old…

We'll put it out--I'm not--everything we've done on the sanctions so far is, and all of the things I've explored with our allies has pretty well been supported by everyone.

The economic indicators are not. I think the political indicators are going the other way because I have challenged the Congress to cut spending. And so since there hasn't been a response in terms of ``Here's our list,'' the easiest thing…

There will be--obviously, money will be discussed, but it is not just a question of money, and it's certainly not money alone. I don't want to put a figure on it yet. We've made no decisions. But I can tell you we've discussed some rather…

We can't afford to do less.

I have no reason to question this statement by Mr. Gerson or his explicit assurance that political considerations played no role in his decision.

This investment program includes a bold new initiative to ensure that every worker has the training to get a good job in the new economy.

We're going to change that.

I do hereby proclaim March 1993 as Irish-American Heritage Month.

It is tragic that each year thousands of Americans suffer vision loss that might have been prevented.
