Bill Clinton

It's your country, and I'm doing my best to give it back to you.

I intend to follow through on my pledge to make college loans available to all Americans based on their ability to repay when they take a job.

We're going to cut $9 billion out of the administrative costs of the Federal Government.

I have embraced as my cause the idea that every person in this country ought to be able to live up to the fullest of their God-given potential.

Unless California is revived, the Nation cannot recover economically.

If we do not change, then the good things that are happening today will not translate into jobs and opportunity for America.

We have to increase investment in our people and our future and reduce our debt at the same time.

That's a good question, Andrea. I decided to run for President in 1991 because I was concerned that there were too many people in America who were out of work; there were too many people who were losing their jobs; there were too many…

A real tough time. Mr. Jennings. Right. How many of you would like to know how to get a bill through Congress? Do you think that would be useful in order to find out how you get it done?

I'd like to know that. [Laughter] Mr. Jennings. Well, we've enlisted the help of Steven Urkel, who's a great, great pal, I guess, of all yours, to tell us how you actually get a bill through the Congress. Let's watch. [A short film was…

That's good. That's right. We use a lot of recycled paper. Mr. Jennings. So you have a chance now to sign that bill or you can veto that bill, right?

That's right. I have to act within 10 days of getting it, and I can sign it or veto it. I think I'd better sign, don't you? Mr. Jennings. I think you'd better. Do you think he should sign it? Okay. Let's go back to questions. Venus, you…

That's right. Mr. Jennings. ----because she has quite a reputation in Florida on that particular subject. We could go on. You've been very gracious to stay the extra half- hour. Did you enjoy yourselves this morning? Was he good? Yes? He…

This is Bill Clinton. As you know, this week I sent Congress my economic plan to create new jobs and to lift the living standards of Americans and their children. This morning I want to talk with you directly about it. Let's begin with the…

It's bigger than almost anybody in America lives in, but it's a beautiful house. You know it was started in 1792. President Washington authorized it to be built, and then before it was finished, actually, President Adams and his wife moved…

It's very beautiful. And upstairs, just above it, there's another big oval room which President Franklin Roosevelt used as his office during World War II. And now we use it for formal receiving of foreign dignitaries. And it also looks…

I do a little, not so much down here but up on the second and third floor. And I spent a lot of time working, in this last month, over around the Oval Office, so I'm in the Cabinet Room a lot and in the Roosevelt Room, which is the…

I think there was a moment when I realized I was going to be President, and it was different after that. And it was not at the election. It was a couple of weeks after the election when I was planning the Inaugural and they asked me what I…

Oh, what he's asking about--about 40 years ago, a lot of the schools, public schools, in our country were still segregated by race. Virtually all the schools in the southern part of the United States were segregated by race. Young black…
