Bill Clinton

I only wish every American could see our own country as so much of Africa see us, a nation bearing the ideals of freedom and equality.

Democracy is gaining strength. Business is growing. Peace is making progress.

I return more convinced than when I came here that despite the daunting challenges, there is an African renaissance.

By establishing a strong but sensible limit on blood-alcohol content, we could save as many as 600 lives a year.

We have seen time and again that women and minorities are excluded from the contracting process when a DBE program is not in place.

I think it's potentially very important because an African Crisis Response Force can enable the Africans to stop problems before they get out of hand.

The American people deserve better than this.

This provision was included in the Convention at the behest of the United States negotiating delegation.

We must tell the aggressors and those who tear societies apart, 'You will not prevail.'

I ask that you oppose efforts to strike the DBE program from the bill.

It is imperative that we set a uniform standard of .08 blood-alcohol content to protect our young people from harm.

I'm very excited about it.

Actually, I was kind of jealous that the Republicans had appropriated such a nice animal as their symbol. [Laughter] I think they're fascinating, these elephants are.

It was great. At one point, she even had one of her-- one of the cubs' tail in her mouth. They were playing with it, back and forth.

Well, we've seen probably 20 or 30 different kinds of birds, fascinating ones, including some eagles I had never seen before and some storks I had never seen before and obviously the vultures and then a lot of the smaller, very beautiful…

Federal standards are essential to assure that all patients get the protections they need.

I look forward to working with the Congress to enact a 'Patients' Bill of Rights' Act that I can sign into law this year.

It would be disappointing and disturbing if our ability to provide assistance to victims of natural disasters and continued funding for our troops in Bosnia and Iraq were held hostage to partisan politics.

This bill represents a critically important step towards enacting a long overdue 'Patients' Bill of Rights'.

A prior authorization requirement would hinder the President's ability to carry out his responsibility as Commander-in-Chief and to effectively conduct U.S. foreign relations.

We still lose an American to drunk driving every 30 minutes.

It is in the best interest of our national security that Congress pass a single bill that provides funding for our missions in Bosnia and Iraq, for overdue payments to the United Nations, and for the IMF.

It is my fervent hope that the majority of the House will join the large bipartisan majority in the Senate and send me legislation that will make our streets safe, our drivers sober, and our laws more sensible.

We strongly urge the House to drop the authorization contingency and to increase funding up to the request.

H.R. 10 dictates that financial services companies conduct new financial activities only in a bank holding company affiliate.
