Bill Clinton

I want to do what is necessary to protect children's health, particularly, and the public health in general.

We are simply trying to create a country where everybody's responsible, has opportunity.

Through the dedication, professionalism, and hard work of men and women like you, this agency has played an integral role in keeping our Nation strong.

Our economy has produced more jobs, more growth, and greater economic stability than at any time in decades.

You showed that America will not rest in tracking down terrorists who use violence against our people.

The House vote is unacceptable, and it will not stand.

The Gorton amendment would halt many of our most successful efforts to improve education.

We should be optimistic, we should be hopeful, we should be confident.

The United States does not produce, sell, or deploy these mines, and we are destroying them.

We cannot afford to squander our great advantages by retreating to the sidelines and watching other countries conclude preferential trade deals that shut out our goods and services.

I am convinced that this collaboration will strengthen both America's effectiveness and leverage at the bargaining table.

I urge the Congress to renew our longstanding partnership by approving the proposal I have transmitted today.

Your work informs every foreign policy decision I make.

The vote by a narrow majority of the U.S. Senate to support the Gorton amendment undermines the bipartisan spirit of cooperation that is so vital to improving American education.

I would hope that we can get all the parties to the lawsuit involved to agree to it.

I transmit herewith the annual report on U.S. exports of defense articles and services, and on imports of military articles to the United States.

Our relations with Mexico are critical to our national security and to our economy.

We cannot waste this opportunity.

First, they have lost the opportunity of being represented in one of our most important ambassadorial positions by this outstanding public servant.

I wanted to keep the American dream alive for every person responsible enough to work for it.

He would have been a superb Ambassador to Mexico.

Second, because Governor Weld was denied his right to a fair hearing, the American people lost their right to judge his qualifications for themselves.
