With continued commitment and this new funding, we can do even more to support our Nation's children.

Reorganization of the Foreign Affairs Agencies December 29, 1998 Dear __________: I hereby submit the reorganization plan and report required by section 1601 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-277…

Such Libyan actions and policies pose a continuing unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and vital foreign policy interests of the United States.

I am continuing the national emergency with respect to Libya.

I hereby report to the Congress on the developments since my last report of July 6, 1998, concerning the national emergency with respect to Libya.

I renewed for another year the national emergency with respect to Libya pursuant to IEEPA.

We remain determined to ensure that the perpetrators of the terrorist acts against Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 are brought to justice.

For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to maintain in force the broad authorities necessary to apply economic pressure to the Government of Libya to reduce its ability to support international terrorism.

The policies and actions of the Government of Libya continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

I shall continue to exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against Libya fully and effectively.

Too many still witnessing serious violence with traumatic effects on them that, as you have already heard, will last a lifetime.

I want our children to be at the center of our attention every day, every week, all year long.

I hereby submit the reorganization plan and report required by section 1601 of the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998.

The 1997 National Crime Victimization Survey released by the Department of Justice today shows that violent crime fell 7 percent last year and 21 percent since I took office. With the violent crime rate now its lowest level since 1973…

We want it to be a carefree celebration.

We should be grateful for this problem.

I hope the celebration that we have today will steel our determination to make sure that people like Pauline can be making this speech 50 years from now.

The Social Security system is now 100 percent compliant with our standards and safeguards for the year 2000.

Our strategy of more police, stricter gun laws, and better crime prevention is working.

Violent crime fell 7 percent last year and 21 percent since I took office.

We must redouble our efforts to make our streets, homes, and schools safer for all Americans.

Together, we can make sure the new year is, indeed, a safe and happy one for all Americans.

Last December more than 1,300 Americans lost their lives in alcohol-related crashes.

Our administration has made safety our number one transportation priority.

There's good news to report.
