Bill Clinton

Well, first of all, I got only a cursory briefing. I didn't see any of the hearings, and I really can't comment on how they went. I only became aware recently, I think after I left, that Mr. Kendall was going to be able to ask some…

The CTBT marks a historic milestone in our drive to reduce the nuclear threat and to build a safer world.

Well, thank you for going. I thank you and all the people on your delegation, all the congressional Members, I hope you'll thank them for me. And have a good night and have a good trip the rest of the way to Nicaragua. And when you come…

That's great. Mrs. Gore. Thank you again for allowing us to bring this and to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbors who are in crisis right now.

That's great. Where are you going to spend the night tonight? Mrs. Gore. I'm going to spend the night--we're pitching tents. We don't want to take any assets away from the relief effort, so we're pitching some tents, and we're going to…

That's really good. I wonder, what are your thoughts about how well we're doing in getting our aid down there, how we're going to handle extra volunteer help, all the other things you could do. What's the most important thing we could give…

Well, what have you seen? Mrs. Gore. Well, I took a helicopter tour along with the delegation of the area that had a great deal of devastation. We've seen communities and neighborhoods and entire areas wiped out. You can see that the base…

Hi, Tipper. Mrs. Gore. Hi, how are you? Thank you very much for the honor of leading the delegation. It's a privilege to bring the aid and the assistance to the people of Honduras. They need it. They have suffered an incredible amount of…

I now have a whole wardrobe from them. [Laughter] It's great; I have all these matching workout clothes. Thank you very, very much. Now I'd like to ask Larry Ivey, the University of Kentucky associate athletic director, to come up…

Dear John, Thanks for your message. Hillary and I had a great time at the launch. We are very proud of you and the entire crew, and a little jealous. We can't wait for you to get home so we can have a first hand report. Meanwhile back on…

Reelection as Speaker of the House of Representatives November 6, 1998 Newt Gingrich has been a worthy adversary, leading the Republican Party to a majority in the House, and joining me in a great national debate over how best to prepare…

Ten years ago, Harvard's Diana Eck began to notice that her students weren't just choosing her class on Indian religions to learn about a foreign culture. They were enrolling to learn more about their own heritage. She was inspired to…

Now, the National Humanities Medals. Ever since President Eisenhower asked the then 28-year-old Stephen Ambrose to edit his papers, he has animated history with stories of great leaders and average citizens whose common denominator is…

Well, actually, my information is that Secretary Cohen had a good trip, and we believe we'll have the support that we need for whatever decisions we ultimately make.

That's out of my hands. That's up to the American people and the Congress. All I know is I've got a day here, and I want to make the most of it. Iraq

I shall exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and will continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant developments.

I think this election is a referendum on all the hopes of the American people for the future, and their assessment of the present condition, and how we get from here to a better tomorrow. I think that's what it will be. That's what all…

No, no. First of all, I think Dr. John Hope Franklin, who is the Chairman of my race commission, has enormous credibility with all African-Americans. Mr. Smiley. Indeed he does--indeed.

[Laughter] I love that. Mr. Smiley. ----might that be part of the reason why people don't like you, because you're just so friendly and so open to this concept of diversity?

Glad to be here. 1998 Elections Mr. Smiley. Glad to have you. I have had the pleasure, as you know, to sit down with you one-on-one a few times in the past, and so I know that asking you to make a prediction is like wasting my time. So I'm…

Thank you. Mr. Joyner. And we look for results tomorrow and a better day on Wednesday. Ms. Wilkes. Are you going home to Little Rock to vote?

Then they'll win a lot more seats than they otherwise would. Mr. Joyner. So we're going to be to blame if it doesn't work out?

Well, I think they are hoping that there will be a lower turnout among people who will vote for the Democrats, yes. They are hoping that there will be. And they are hoping there will be a higher turnout among people that they have tried to…

I lived through all that. I lived through the churches being bombed and people being driven away from the polls. And then I lived through the poll tax era, where people would buy the poll taxes by the roll, and black people had to agree to…

It is. I hope tomorrow will be as good as today is-- with the weather. African-American Vote Mr. Joyner. Now, we've been talking all along about how important it is for African-Americans to get out and vote. I want to go back, first of…
