The fact that you have set a model here for reconciliation... is of profound significance.

Change is hard and requires patience, but change is possible.

I think the Chinese will, in fact, be bending over backwards to make sure that they run it in a competent and able and fair manner. This is like them, is like China coming into the WTO. I think they'll want to demonstrate to a distant part…

I can't talk about it. [Laughter] But I think--I do think that Jimmy Carter deserves to lead our delegation down there. He did a historic and great thing in advocating the Panama Canal Treaty. But the people of Panama should know that this…

Oh, no. I supported it at the time, and I still support it. I think it's the right thing to do. I think that the new Government of Panama is committed to maintaining the canal in an appropriate way and keeping it open and working with us…

Well, first of all, I have taken and may have to take--I've already taken, I think, a dozen foreign trips this year. It is a major event. I think my interest in Latin America is well-known, but I may have to take yet another trip before…

I think it's a case of pneumonia. That's what they said. I checked on it yesterday, and they believe that he'll be all right. Mass Graves in Mexico

From where? From Russia? Well, I think what we should do is investigate this like we do all others. But I don't think we should stop our efforts to try to drastically cut nuclear weapons or end corruption in Russia or do all the other…

We have to lower tariff barriers; they're too high.

The world of the future will be a safer place if we continue to work together in a rule-based system.

I'm convinced we do have to open the WTO and the world trading system to greater public scrutiny and to greater public participation.

We came to talk about trade and to talk about trade in the context of an increasingly globalized society.

We must work to protect and to improve the environment as we expand trade.

I do believe that on balance, over the last 50 years, the United States has benefited from world trade.

We must join together as a global community to stem the tide of new infection.

We all benefit when the rules are clear and fair.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including 50 U.S.C. 191, I hereby prescribe the following amendment to the regulations...

Thirty percent of the growth we've gotten in this country, 30 percent, came because of expanding trade.

I believe the world is a better place than it would have been had we not had the last 50 years of increasing economic cooperation for trade and investment.

We need to make a clear distinction between that which we condemn and that which we welcome.

We will not get that done unless we can prove... that we still believe we can have an interdependent global economy.

It isn't right for me to ask for the good things I want for America's working families without wanting to provide those opportunities for others who are willing to work for them.

We cannot grow the American economy in the 21st century unless we continue to sell more to a world that is prospering.

I personally believe, for the farmers that are in our national farm programs, we're going to have to adjust our national laws.

The world is a better place today after 50 years of more open trade than it would have been if we hadn't had it.
