Bill Clinton
The Public Record
Bill Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd President of the United States from January 20, 1993, to January 20, 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously held the position of Governor of Arkansas from 1983 to 1992.

I am pleased that the House of Representatives, in a bipartisan fashion, today rejected an unwise and unwarranted attempt to deny the American people the facts about global warming.
The right to an appeal is meaningless if health plans can disregard these decisions.
All I know is what Secretary Cohen has said to you, to the public, and to me, which is that their view is that it did not occur. Thank you all very much.
The Secret Service has made its own decisions about what to say and how to do it, based on their professional sense of responsibility, and I'm not going to get into this. I've refused to comment on it so far, and I'm going to continue to…
Well, I'm working at it. We've had a lot of events on the Patients' Bill of Rights. I'm trying to get the public involved in this, trying to get them to express their opinions to their Members of Congress, and I will continue to do so…

Trade is a vital part of engagement, supporting jobs here at home, lowering product prices, and helping us to build ties to nearly one quarter of the world's people.
We will never jail our way out of America's problems, and you know that.
Normal trade relations with China will help us strengthen those ties and continue our efforts to make China an increasingly open and productive partner for America.
We are disappointed by the Committee's failure to provide any of the $85 million requested for the drug testing and intervention program.
It will help the IRS to serve taxpayers as well as the best private companies serve their customers.
My honor to sign into law the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act.
I have asked Congress to provide targeted tax relief for American families for child care.
This is really about what we can do together to save our children and to strengthen our country's future.
I welcome the strong, bipartisan vote in the House today to extend normal trade relations with China.
