It is terribly important that we implement this child health program to extend health insurance to 5 million more kids.

Every child deserves to grow up with water that is pure to drink, lakes that are safe for swimming, rivers that are teeming with fish.

The biggest untapped market for American growth now are the unemployed and the underemployed people in the isolated neighborhoods of inner-city America and some of our rural areas.

It needs to be a part of how all of our children learn, how they learn science, how they learn about computers.

I don't think any of us can say with a straight face that we believe we have the best system of undergraduate education in the world.

This is a time to prepare for a 21st century that will be America's greatest time.

We can afford over $2 billion for clean water.

That's unacceptable.

Thank you. Since you mentioned our golf game, I want to make two brief points before we adjourn--[laughter]--we're going to take a picture. Number one is, I want you to get another ring so you can quit about the time I quit, and then we'll…

I don't want to spend any of the surplus until we save Social Security for the next generation.

We now face the serious task of enrolling uninsured children in both Medicaid and State-administered children's health programs.

There will never be a time as long as we're on this Earth when there won't be people who seek absolute, arbitrary, abusive power.

This is wrong. If we really want to make America strong for the 21st century, we will correct it.

It should not take a miracle to ensure that children like Linda's children have the care and insurance they need to stay healthy and to be treated when they're sick.

This is a safer country.

We're delighted to be joined by Mayor Barry and members of the DC City Council; Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton; and Congresswoman Diana DeGette, from Colorado.

Step by step, we are working hard to make sure all Americans get the health care they deserve.

We have to keep working until we have closed the remaining holes in our health care system.

Anything we can do to minimize the chance that anyone will be able to put into play chemical and biological weapons against civilized people, wherever they live, we should do.

Many children who lack health insurance are the same children who benefit from programs your agency now administers.

None of this would have been possible if we hadn't laid the framework, the foundation.

I want tomorrow to be good for America.

Thus, a coordinated Federal interagency effort is critical to providing greater health care coverage for children.

The Federal Government must do its part.

We cannot make the world perfectly safe, but we have to do everything we can in our time to imagine what the security problems will be like.
