Bill Clinton

I believe when that happens, we will be profoundly indebted to these people who have come here today to advance this idea.

We know from experience that this approach works.

Our new strategy of fiscal discipline, investing in our people, and expanding trade has helped to bring us the longest economic expansion in history.

We're all operating under a deadline.

With their help, the country is better equipped to meet the needs of every American and the challenges in the 21st century.

Research is an investment in the future.

Today we received more good news.

I hereby certify that withholding from international financial institutions and other international organizations and programs funds appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to that Act is contrary to the national interest.

I commend all of the participants in these negotiations for their work in producing a bill that will benefit many Indian communities.

It is long past time to right that wrong.

This Act emphasizes my Administration's commitment to self-determination and self-governance of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian people.

I note that section 405(b) of the Act purports to restrict the President's constitutional authority.

As President, it is my constitutional responsibility to see that justice for all is not just what we promise; it's what we practice.

Today I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 5528, the 'Omnibus Indian Advancement Act.'

Mr. Robards was a commanding presence on the big screen and a passionate force on the stage.

I appreciate the inclusion of section 308 concerning the applicability of Federal laws implementing international treaties and other international agreements to United States intelligence activities.

Because the work of the Commission may interfere with the constitutional authority vested in the President to conduct foreign affairs, the restrictions in section 405(b) are constitutionally problematic.

I have tried for 5 years to put an African-American on the fourth circuit—for 5 years.

Mr. Robards will be missed by all of us who cherished him and his work.

I take this extraordinary step for extraordinary reasons.

I acknowledge the efforts of the Congress to bring about a more capable, secure, and effective Diplomatic Telecommunications System.

Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jason Robards.

On this holiest of holidays, Hillary and I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

On this holiest of holidays, Hillary and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

So from our family to yours, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God bless you all.
