Today marks the one-year anniversary of the new Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Peace and prosperity is not a bad legacy.

We say our children are the most important things in the world to us. We're not acting like it.

I applaud the Congress, members of both parties who did this.

I know it's popular to offer a tax cut 5 weeks before the election, say, 'We finally got a surplus; we want to give you some of it.' But it's dead wrong.

S. 1092 is not compatible with the purposes for which the Refuge was established and would waive important environmental laws.

Let us recommit ourselves to providing affordable health coverage to the millions of American children without insurance.

I thought the Vice President was a nonviolent man.

We can do this—we can do this.

Over 4 million uninsured children are eligible but not signed up for Medicaid.

Over 40,000 children now get 3 hot meals a day there.

We have won important battles in our war on breast cancer, and we have cause to celebrate; nevertheless, we must remain focused on gaining the ultimate victory—an America free from breast cancer.

Just one day to put in place a plan that will not only help those children but in so doing will make sure that America's greatest days lie ahead.

I look forward to signing it into law.

The admission of up to 78,000 refugees to the United States during FY 1999 is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.

It is in the national interest of the United States to draw down articles and services from the inventory and resources of the Department of Defense.

We have waited a long time for this, not quite as long as we waited for Roger Maris' record to be broken, but nearly.

Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury to American women.

Tonight at midnight, America puts an end to three decades of deficits and launches a new era of balanced budgets and surpluses.

An additional 10,000 refugee admissions numbers shall be made available during FY 1999 for the adjustment to permanent resident status.

We should not sit on or celebrate this balanced budget. We should build on it.

Retirement Board September 28, 1998 To the Congress of the United States: I transmit herewith the Annual Report of the Railroad Retirement Board for Fiscal Year 1997, pursuant to the provisions of section 7(b)(6) of the Railroad Retirement…

I hereby determine and certify that the Government of the Republic of Chad is violating a sanction against Libya.

I urge the House to pass this critical legislation before the end of the legislative session.

I ask the heads of executive departments and agencies to use their discretion to excuse from duty, without charge to leave or loss of pay, any such employee who is prevented from reporting to work.
