Bill Clinton

Hillary and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of our dear friend Roger Stevens.

The treaty will also put in a place an extensive global network of monitoring stations to detect and deter nuclear explosion on land, underground, beneath the sea, or in space.

I was deeply saddened to learn a short while ago that a U.S. military jet aircraft was involved in an accident in Italy that resulted in the deaths of several Italian citizens.

It is a moral obligation that should override any short-term consideration that any of us have.

I herewith report eight new deferrals of budgetary resources, totaling $4.8 billion.

I am very pleased that the agency's General Counsel has proposed a new rule prohibiting national parties from raising soft money.

This Test Ban Treaty is good for America's security.

We can balance the budget and still hire 100,000 new teachers and modernize 5,000 schools.

Our anti-crime strategy is working.

By reaching balance, my budget represents a remarkable turnaround in our fiscal policy over the last five years.

Ratification by the United States and others will constrain non-signatories to this treaty from conducting nuclear tests.

The maintenance of a safe and reliable nuclear stockpile is a supreme national interest of the United States.

Our economy is strong, our budget is headed toward balance.

Because America continues to have a tremendous stake in world affairs, my budget proposes the necessary funds to maintain national security.

This budget reserves that surplus—I want to say it again—this budget reserves that surplus.

We must maintain our fiscal discipline so that we not only reach balance, but also keep the budget in balance.

Five years ago, my Administration took office determined to restore the American Dream for every American.

The point of the treaty is to ban the bang, not to ban the bomb.

I am determined to provide the help that families need when it comes to finding safe, high-quality, affordable child care.

By ending nuclear testing we could help to prevent the development of new and more dangerous weapons.

This budget marks the end of an era, an end to decades of deficits that have shackled our economy.

This budget is not just balanced, it is balanced the right way.

Our children need our help. They need all the help we can give them because they are our future.

We want to ensure that nobody is left behind.

Oh, thank you. [Inaudible] [At this point, Steve Yzerman made brief remarks and presented the President with a personalized Red Wings jersey.]
