We have got to find a way to do that so that we take advantages that are rife with all of our diversity by joining together in affirming our common humanity.

We want to give business people and investors the same incentives to invest in poor American neighborhoods we give them to invest in our neighbors.

We want people to see you and believe it can be done in their neighborhoods, in their communities, rural or urban.

This legislation goes far beyond what is reasonably necessary to address litigation concerns associated with Y2K computer problems.

This initiative that we are taking, we believe can change all that.

We need to do this for all Americans.

Our economy now is in the best shape it's been in at least a generation.

America's law enforcement officers serve each day as a defense against the forces of crime and brutality.

I urge Congress to join in this campaign by passing the legislation necessary to keep guns out of the hands of children.

These courageous men and women defend our lives with their own.

I think we have to do better.

We must honor and remember their sacrifice and the loss of the loved ones they left behind.

We are fast approaching our goal to fund 100,000 police officers, and our crime rates are at a 25-year low.

S. 254 does not include any of these common sense provisions that build on the efforts proven to be highly effective in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and youth.

If no one consumes these products, people will stop producing them.

We know that there is more for each of us to do at home and at school, in Hollywood and in the heartland and here in Washington.

The material and equipment, including any indirect technical benefit that could be derived from such export, will not measurably improve the missile or space launch capabilities of the People's Republic of China.

In large part because of their skill and determination, crime rates in our Nation have fallen to the lowest point in 25 years.

We cannot pretend that there is no impact on our culture and our children that is adverse if there is too much violence coming out of what they see and experience.

We honor with special gratitude the nearly 600,000 highly trained law enforcement personnel who serve our Nation each day.

We must also do more to address domestic violence.

I hereby certify that the export to the People's Republic of China of satellite fuels and separation systems for the U.S.-origin Iridium commercial communications satellite program is not detrimental to the United States space launch…

No one was pointing the finger of blame.

It was a tragic mistake, and I want to offer my sincere regret and my condolences to both the leaders and the people of China.

But what we're doing is the right thing to do.
