I have come to express America's solidarity with the Turkish people at a time of national tragedy.

The United States is proud to stand with Turkey in good times or bad, against cruel natural calamities, terrorism, or other threats to freedom and democracy.

Now, his prophecy has come to pass.

I want to once again reaffirm my personal strong support for Turkey's European Union candidacy as it moves forward in all the areas that we have discussed today.

This agreement is a major step forward in bringing China into the WTO and a profoundly important step in the relationship between the United States and China.

These sanctions are being implemented because the Taliban has spurned the unanimous demand of the Security Council.

We all have a responsibility for the well-being of the next generation.

I want to express my solidarity with the Turkish people and America's commitment to Turkey's future.

We must continue to fulfill a vision of a Europe undivided, democratic, in peace for the first time in history, anchored by a stable and prosperous Turkey.

I urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities and to take personal responsibility for the environment not only by recycling, but also by choosing to purchase and use products made from recycled…

Sovereignty should not be built on fear.

I am very proud of your work—the daily work you do, which may or may not grab the headlines.

Our alliance has stood the test of time and passed every other test, from Korea to Kosovo.

I hope that the visit that we're making this week will inspire more Americans at home to join your efforts to help the people of Turkey recover from these natural disasters.

Turkey has become an engine of regional growth.

I thank you for your reception and for the invitation to come to Turkey.

The China-WTO agreement is good for the United States; it's good for China; it's good for the world economy.

I ask the parties to approach this opportunity with good faith and the determination to build for all the people of Cyprus a future that is brighter than the past.

These Cyprus talks can bring us one step closer to a lasting peace.

A negotiated settlement is the best way to meet the fundamental interests of the parties, including real security for all Cypriots and an end to the island's division.

The goal of the talks is to prepare the ground for meaningful negotiations leading to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem.

I urge Congress to keep working on other critical issues.

I'm pleased Congress has put politics aside and put education first in this budget.

We must keep the crime rate coming down.

I wanted to make sure the very first budget of the 21st century puts education first.
