That episode was fundamentally a political move.

Nobody's missed a day in the deer woods, nobody's missed a sport-shooting contest, and it sure made a difference.

Now, this is the record.

Freedom is rendered far more likely by the power of our example.

I do not believe this will have any material impact on the quality of our workforce.

The United States is working hard to develop partnerships with other nations and to mobilize a greatly expanded global response to address HIV/AIDS.

I think the best way to do this is economic and political integration and cooperation.

Bob's fine intellect and the breadth of his knowledge were respected throughout Government and beyond.

I believe it is better to focus on the future.

There has never been a better time to invest money in cancer research, ever.

A lot of our people... were sad that welfare reform didn't pass health care didn't pass.

Increasing the Federal employment costs at such an extraordinary rate would render those budgets inadequate to provide the planned level of services.

I think that the policy is right, and the direction is right.

Federal employees are the key to effective Government performance.

Our investment is producing results and, thanks to new treatments, many people with AIDS are living longer and experiencing a better quality of life than ever before.

I think it would be better if we had these discussions looking to the future.

We should be gratified and happy in this holiday season that America is safer, but we should be resolved to make it the safest big country in the world.

We can be proud of our efforts over the past 8 years.

The values that synthesize our policies have to work for the people.

I look forward to the time when we will be forced to find another reason to meet, because the war on cancer will have been won.

Bob made invaluable contributions to the common good in his 20 years of Government service.
