Bill Clinton

It will just show that our insistence over these last many years on the U.N. inspection system is the right thing to do for the safety of America and the safety of the rest of the world.

I am pleased that the House and Senate have finally reached a bipartisan agreement to reform the IRS and strengthen taxpayer rights.

The emergency mechanism recently approved by the House Appropriations Committee provides such flexibility.

All you have to do is pick up the paper every day to know that things are changing quite a lot around the world.

I am deeply disappointed in the action taken within the House Appropriations Committee today.

American farmers can continue to compete and win the global marketplace.

It is a plan that will correct the inaccuracies in the former census which systematically undercounted children, minorities, and rural Americans.

This would only support a participation level of between 7.3 and 7.4 million women, infants, and children.

I am pleased that S. 1150 provides $300 million for the Fund and extends it funding through FY 2003.

The quality of Census 2000 will have ramifications for decades to come.

I am pleased to add my voice in support of today's efforts by Representatives Ganske and Dingell to file a discharge petition enabling an up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives for a Patients' Bill of Rights.

Now we need the Congress to pass a Patients' Bill of Rights that guarantees all Americans these important patient protections.

Today I signed into law a new bill to help expand opportunity for America's farmers.

A fair and accurate census is a fundamental part of representative democracy and good government.

S. 1150 also restores benefits to Hmong immigrants from Laos who aided our country during the Vietnam War.

When people are satisfied with good conditions, they tend always to say they are for them.

Today we strengthen those bonds.

Returning to the partisanship of the past, House Republicans backed a bill that would take us backwards just when we should be addressing the challenges of the next century.

As we finish the business of the 20th century, we must examine difficult aspects of our history in order to build a better world for our children in the next millennium.

I think it is a highly objectionable decision.

Thank you for being here for Garry Mauro.

This bill takes us in the wrong direction, short-changing critical investments in our young people.

We have to figure out how to grow the economy and do more to preserve the environment.

The tobacco companies' automatic and angry dismissal of this new survey shows their continued disregard for their children's health and parents' concerns.

That was an unsustainable situation.
